What Are Fish Bait Attractants And Why Would I Want To Use Them?

Comments Off on What Are Fish Bait Attractants And Why Would I Want To Use Them?

I use fish bait attractants on many of my baits and think they help me get more bites and make the fish hold on to the bait a little longer. That can be important in bass fishing with soft plastics, giving you a little more time to set the hook.

Here is the situation in my back yard:  Closed to all harvest right now are spotted seatrout, all grouper varieties, vermilion snapper, snook, and red snapper.  A trip offshore means burning a lot of fuel and literally no fish to bring home to the table.
Following close on the heels of all this are the pending changes from the SAFMC in the bag limits and seasons for dolphin (mahi mahi), wahoo, and cobia.
