Thanks Saltstrong for the very useful tips for redfish baits. This is my main targeted fish this year, besides flounder. Hope to see more of your vids and can't wait for your next one...Tight lines never stop!

I caught a 36” bullred on Father’s Day with only shrimp and a small piece of fish bite but this is really helpful for enhancing my cut bait skills.

Dude great video...informative...brief...easy to understand and use the knowledge. Thanks!

My local bait shop mostly sells live or dead finger mullet. So I've started using the large ballyhoo they sell and use 3 to 4 inch pieces. Our reds down here can't resist them. 👍

Thanks for always giving great tips 👍🎣

Great video! I’m learning and teaching my child. We enjoyed watching your video

This was a very helpful video thanks

Good tip I'll try the larger cut next time thanks

Good tips headed to the coast this weekend to get one some reds 🤙🏾

Thanks bro for the awesome tip on proper size bait set up. I've been using smaller pieces of mullet and catching more catfish and small tugs on my line not sure if it's crabs playing with my line or what. I also appreciate the info on type of hooks to use although not sure how you would set that up. Did u use the hook at the end and a weight 2 ft. before that? Thanks for all you're wisdom and God Bless!

Thanks for the tips brotha 👍👍👍👍👍

Great tips! I’ve been using way to small of bait. Also are you using a egg sinker to swivel then leader or swivel to leader with a single drop and a pyramid sinker?

Thanks for the tip 🤙👊

Great tips! Also, watch for the scale that may get stuck on the point of the hook after going through the skin.

The Camo Canoe, Another is patience. I can only bank fish where I am, so I park my truck, castnet some mullet, hook up set it and forget it till your pole nearly breaks in half. Fish on! Don't sweat the small bites. Just leave it alone

This video just showed up in my feed, never saw ur channel before but these are great tips for cut bait! I don't fish saltwater but it equates to catfishing which I love too! Just subbed

Super Hank Outdoors, I use my catfish rigs for these. The fight these reds put up is amazing. I've never had drag peel off like one of these fish can do.

Great vid and tips....I do have a question on hook location on the cut bait...I noticed you hooked the bait from the meat of the bait through to the outside of the skin of the bait...why would you not hook it from the outside of the skin to the outside of the skin? Trying to figure if there is better time to do one or the other...thanks in advance. Tight Lines!

Hey Tony great tips...thanks! How do you get your fresh mullet? Are you casting from your kayak?

Thank you!👍

I've been using way too small of pieces and picking up a lot of gafftop cats. Thanks for the tips!

The big ones hung off my 48qt cooler so I couldn't accurately measure but they were about 32 33"! Big bait = big fish We could have got more, but theres so much meat that I dont want to get greedy.

What rig are you using to use cut bait as you described on this video knocker rig or fish finder rig?

do you have another option as cut bait ? at my place there is only live shrimp which is expansive.. difficult to find mullet. any other small best fist to us as cut bait...

For me a good sharp pair of scissors works better than a knife. Also I've found it helps to cut the fins off the pieces of cut bait.

Hey salt strong, I have a question. This October, my dad and I are going saltwater fishing on Edisto Island, which has a main southern river we fish in. Would you recommend for Redfish and sea trout (gators) using live, artificial, or a mix. Unfortunately we don't own a trolling motor and we have mostly used live bait, but I have been trying to incorporate lures into my routine. Also, Edisto has virtually no submerged grass and very few flats, so what areas should I look for on Satellite maps?

Daniel Richard, Ive been lucky using choke points between areas. Look for spots between shallow bait fish grounds and deep water with plenty of cover. That's been my luck, but I'm new to redfishing. Where I am we have a shallow estuary that feeds through a culvert to a deep water ship harbor. Been busting the big ones by the ships.

If you can get them use whole live mullet, hit Shem Creek, pit street or anywhere else with a Creek walk pier and a grass line, I got about 60 granted they were pinky finger size. Just go down there with a small castnet.

Is that east end of Haulover canal? I always try to guess where abouts you guys are from the background. Just my curiousity.

I've been using a 2/o circle hook with cut pinfish is that good size or should I go bigger?

hey man tip for you also, if u catch a catfish you can use them as cut bait i caught a nice sized 28 inch Redfish off cut catfish

Thanks

What's the best area hooking the head?

the bigger my bait, the bigger catfish i get. been trying to hook a bull red but cant seem to get one yet.

What rig do you use for this?

I've herd that putting the hook through the stomach lining is stronger than the meat

Tony, what is your rod, reel and rigging setup when using cut bait the size shown in the video ? Bull reds will start running here in October.

Don Altman, I've been killing it off these tips. I use a penn fierce 2 4000 with a 6'6" medium ugly stick, 30lb braid to a swivel, 2ft 65lb mono leader with a loop on top, dropper loop 6/0 circle hook half way down, and 2oz weight on bottom. My other pole is an Abu 6500 on 7' berkley lightning rod, 50lb mono, and same rigging. Good luck

its bull red time now my man!!!! thats cool for sport fishing....But!!! if you want them smaller ones to eat!!!! thats not cool because those bulls are going to be very bully_ish regardless of how much you cut u pit on the hook!!!!!!! and thats maybe why when we go to Louisiana to fish freshwater for bass....lots of them spit out reds or has one stuck in its throat lol its something new to me but i thought it was amazing.....but anyway what im saying is if you want them smaller ones,try close to freshwater, live or dead shrimp is me and my dads choicewe dip tails in red or chart

Whiting cut bait is 2nd to none with reddfish.. idk it’s worked for me

yea, found out the hard way. frozen bait SUX. LOL.

I have found the more structure you are around and or reefs oyster beds etc go with as much as possible , a bull red is strong and you have to consider anything else that will eat a hunk of bait . I use 80 lb braid and a fluro leader with 5 to 7 ott hooks ,,,,,,,,,,,,, that doesn't mean you have to but I have lost many fish due to the structures and such and its pretty durable and you can get quite a bit of salt water fishing out of it , if your in saltwater you have sharks drums grouper huge jacks and so on that can easily tire lighter line . and I am sure many guys prefer different setups and so on ,,,,,,,,,,, maybe your surroundings will dictate the proper tackle .

Yes, catch the crab and use it for the bait. Redfish love blue crabs.

I would actually use that whole mullet. I catch giant redfish off the beach with Whiting around 13". Usually live but cut works too. And you are right about it not catching the little trash fish but there is a much longer wait If the bulls are not close by. End your how to videos with a demo if possible.

I caught my first bull of 39 inches which is nice but not even close to huge on a live mullet maybe 6 inches , which I thought was odd especially since everyone that I have talked to in my area says they don't eat mullet very often , I live in ponce inlet FLA with great bull fishing so I wanted to ask ...... the mullet have been running not huge ones , and I love using them for everything , I have caught them occasionally in my throw net between 8 and 20 inches but they are few and far between , is there special spots that the big roe mullet like to hang out ?

I agree, I think instructional videos should either have a demonstration in them or be linked to a playlist or other video that shows the fish being caught with the rigs suggested.

Hi

whats ur pb redfish?

Blue crabs are always taking cut bait. They are so bad, even live mullet gets nibbled on.

@scottmichael3745

You can start to recognize the difference when a crab grabs your bait. It just seems to get heavier, doesn't seem to swim. Just reel in slowly and have your net ready! Net them when they get next to the boat. I've caught over a dozen like that. Free bait and free dinner! Catching is catching my friend. Tight lines!

What’s your fav reel for fishing reds like that?

Clear the scales of the hook point or you will lose alot of fish.

10-12" Mullet is preferred? LOL. You're kidding right?. Any fresh mullet regardless of size will do.

Just cut the damn fish!

Don"t waste that head on a red fish. the head is the is the best part to make stew out of. with out that you can"t have Mullet Head Stew mmm mmm
