Stop losing your bait! Fresh bait vs Salted Bait: Which bait works best?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 พ.ค. 2024
- Sick of losing your fishing baits to crabs and small pecking fish? Fresh bait is always a great choice because it catches fish, BUT it has its downsides! Fresh bait is usually very soft and comes off the hook quickly. Salted baits are typically tougher and last much longer on the hook.
Fishing with bait is a sure-fire way to catch fish, but which baits work best? Does one bait catch more fish than another? Does fresh bait work any better than dead bait or salted bait? Today we are testing three popular fishing baits in order to find out just that. Fishing with shrimp bait and fishing with squid bait are popular for many anglers who bait fish, so we got as much fishing bait as we could find and headed out to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge to put each fishing bait to the test. Which bait will reign supreme? Watch now to find out!

I work all the time and finally I had two days in a row. I went to the outer banks and the wind is blowing 55 mph, no bites. So, did I despair? No! I am binge watching your videos and loving every minute of it.
Brandon, try peeling the shrimps, then
marinate them in sugar, leave in cooler for 30 mins, drained all excess liquid, add little more sugar and can store in freezer, the shrimp is firm and can stay on hook much longer. Works very well

Hi Brandon and Erin, I follow your TH-cam for weeks now. And love the both of you. I am Annette and 62 years old, and that's why it's hard to learn fishing.
The way you two show about fishing gives me the confidence to start fishing alone. You show to just try things out. Most people I fished with they do everything for me because they know it all so well and think they help me, but I don't learn.
I ordered my own fishing rod 40% and reel 60% for not to much and can't wait to try it all out.
I can't order your things you offer because I (I am Dutch) life in Malaysia. But beside that I learn and enjoy your TH-cam.
Wish you well ❤️
Which part in Malaysia? I live there too
@@Luffy-fw8id I'm in Kepong KL, where you?
@@jokemeyers7346 I live in subang wanna go fishing next time? would be great cause very few people ik fishes
@@Luffy-fw8id hi Rexy, yes let's go fishing. You can contact me via facebook
Sorry don't hear from you again.
Wish you the best and be safe 👌
Yeah im from Wilmington NC., and we typically leave the shell on the shrimp, for added protection you still get robbed but it takes longer..Keep fish i enjoy watching you andyour lady👍🏾
👍🏾
Iv'e found that salted squid works great even on the FL east coast marina's and surf.I also cut my strip size according to the hook and target fish size(which I learned from you!) Keep up the great videos.
Thanks alot man. As someone whos learning how to fish i really appreciate your videos. Keep up the great work man and hope to see more content.

I literally just realized that I wasn’t subscribed to you but I’ve watch you for a long time already and all your videos helped me fished better, thanks man
I love this weekly vicarious immersion into FUN with 2 people, while learning fishing techniques. Both are teachers: Brandon, with his humble expertise; Erin, with her ability to step in and "DO IT" with an "Oh, my God" moment that gets the adrenaline flowing. I'm talking about MY ADRENALINE!!!
You’re my favorite angler. Your simple tips are so much more valuable than most of the hoopla we find on TH-cam. Thank you! I want to start using salted squid/shrimp. Do I need to buy a specific salt? Also, your snips cut very well too. What type are you using?
Awesome test. Loved this video, thank you.
Always great fishing tips from you thanks
Yeah I tend to hook through both sides of the shell on shrimp. Sometimes it helps, sometimes not... I've noticed that they have to commit to the bite more often with the shell on, but on the other hand if the shrimp is already warm when you try to hook through the shell it will frequently turn the meat into pudding before the hook goes through. Sooo..... I keep it on a little ice.
I really enjoyed the editing and music in this vid 👍🏽 keep up the good work guys
Thank you very much for your work, your experiments help a lot.
Good video, liked the 8 bit effects.
I use cut bait for the same reason. This might be stupid but on my hi/lo bottom rig I put a piece of cut bait on one hook and a piece of shrimp on the other. One problem I have is crabs. But doing it this way I don't have to worry as much that my hooks are empty.
Great video!!
I always enjoy your fishing videos
I've crossed that bridge many, many times from Baltimore to the Eastern Shore and Ocean City. I now live in Vero Beach Florida near the Inlet!
sabastan best place to fsh
@@tvah1072 Loved fishing Sabastian Inlet we we lived in Vero, there and Ft Pierce Inlet, moved to the Panhandle and now finding new favorite spots
LOVING THE VIDS!!! and the length of this one, would love more of 10-20 min vids
I catch a lot of perch on razor clams... clam snouts work great as well and require very little re-baiting.
I have started salting my own bait and I like using it better and it does stay on better. Thanks
Salted shrimp and squids, that's something new to me. Got to try it. Anyway your videos has been entertaining and very informative. The best I've ever watched so far. Thanks for your generous sharing.
Love your tips and enthusiasm
Thanks you, I learn new things today!
Thank you!! I’m a beginner. Your videos are great to learn!!!👍🙏👏🏻
Nice n very informative tips n tricks ...u able to simplify some of the complex subjects in your own style..
Hello from Malaysia..keep it up
I LOVE these fresh bait videos, I definitely am gonna also make one of these videos for my channel soon too!
People love these kinds of vids!
Thanks alot man I just starte fishing and this helped a lot
Love the squidy bits! Caught dozens of croaker in OBX this past week! Thanks Brendon and Erin!
Salt bait and fresh bait, which one is better for fish?
@@samrosrith9294 I used fresh shrimp for a good month and caught one fish on a crank bait.but the day I started using salted squid I caught croaker and cats.so I'd say salted is better
hmmm interesting. i usually found salted prawn to b least successful and always found the fresh one to be much better. it is soft as but i usually tie it with bait elastic onto the hook but doesn't stop the pickers!
You gotta leave the shell on the shrimp. I've casted 3-6 times with a 2 ounce bank sinker and still had the same shrimp and fish on the hook. Ocean City Maryland👍👍👍👍👍
I usually leave the shrimp peel on and gives it that extra holding strength when fishing.
That is a good idea too
On the contrary its easier for the fish to actually get hooked. I noticed I caught more fish on the same double drop rig with the skin off vs on
SimonSaysR1 i gotta try that
th-cam.com/video/42Ji1ALMZq8/w-d-xo.html
I leave the shell on when I eat them :)
I dont think something like this determines the best bait. With fishing it's about finding the right place, the right time, right tide, and what the fish are feeding on
I like EZ Shrimp strips and they’re so durable I can catch 10-15 fish in 30-45 minutes without replacing. Only downside is that you can catch anything from 10 lb Reds to tiny 4” Gafftops. I use small 5x5 mm squares of it that way the bait lasts a lot longer and I can enjoy the bite... try it out sxs with the squidy bits, I’m sure it will be interesting!
Dude, there's stuff called "bait elastic". 10-12 times around ur shrimp and u don't need to change ur bait too often. Would be perfect for fresh shrimp. I use it when fishing from the bottom, that elastic stuff saves ur bait from crabs and lobsters
I really enjoyed this video this is the first time ever watching you videos and I think I will just keep watching your videos
Hey there, I usually prefer lures over bait but I'd like to share 2 stories I have about my experiences with different baits. First is about the right way to use fresh squid which I learned from a local on an island here in Croatia where I usually spend my summer. I was actually on a team with him and we were taking part in a red sea bream fishing contest but before that we went to check a few of his traps and after that caught some squid which we used as bait as it is the most popular bait for sea breams there. So what he did with the squid is basically he cut the head and tentacles off and just threw it away, same with intestines. Then he cut the body in a way that he can lay it flat on a board, peeled the skin off and then hammered it a bit and cut it in about 0.5cm wide strips and he put the strips on the hook so that squid covers as much of the hook's body as possible and left about 2-3cm of squid to just hang off the hook. Before that I didn't really care about preparation of the squid and I just cut it and put it on the hook but after he showed me that I did some testing and can actually confirm that fish do like strips from the body more than tentacles and they also prefer skin to be peeled off rather than left on the body. Hammering part is to release more juices or something, although it doesn't seem to make much difference, at least not as much as peeling the skin. The second story is about a bit less conventional bait and that is chicken breasts which I also learned from locals. Chicken doesn't take much preparation, just cut it into 1x1x1cm cubes and put it on the hook. Similar to the fresh shrimp in this video chicken does fall apart and is easily destroyed by fish but does so a bit slower so you don't really have to check the bait every few seconds. My grandpa usually checks the bait after 2 or 3 strikes if he doesn't catch the fish or when he does catch he throws away what's left on hook and changes the bait. I'd say chicken is the absolute best bait I ever tried for sea bream and mackerel also seem to like it but I still use squid a lot because you just don't have to change it as often and usually same amount of squid is going to get you much more fish that chicken. One more tip about squid, avoid using frozen squid if possible. If you can catch your own squid or buy fresh squid at a fish market, leave it in fridge and use within next few days, if not treat the squid in some way, either salt it or wash it with salt water and leave it clean salt water over night.
Thanks for the effort on advising on this detail way
Thanks for sharing ❤
شكرا لك
I’m not reading all that useless shit
But how much did u spend on lures and how many did u loose including swivels and hooks I bet a ton more than bait 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is it sea salt in your box and would it work for fresh water fish? Bass and catfish particularly. Thanks for all your informative vids my guy 👍
Good job! I like the squid as well. Try using a jig with a strip of squid and medium action and heavier line on this rig.
Love teaching on catching perch 🐟.
Have to get some of that. The squidy bits work wonders. Have to try the shrimp. Thanks for always putting out such great stuff.
It will save you lots of time and headache!
i really enjoy your video its very helpful especially a newbie like me,good job
We use bloodworms to good effect around Chesapeake Bay. Catch perch, rockfish, trout. Also use peeler crabs and they work just as well. Imma get a salt bait box to preserve shrimp/squid for surf fishing.
New lesson for a beginner like me. Thanks.
You are cool...and smooth.. thanks to the videographer. I use to fish off the Chesapeake Bay bridge when I was a child.. Go Va!!!!
Nice video What a good explanation of how not to lose the bait and thus get more fish and with more duration under water thanks for sharing
learning more from your videos and checking out your store
Hi skipper, I am newbie, I am learning and I love your presentation!
Great video!
It confirms what I have used and told other people to use for 35+ years.
If you are not able to use live bait or totally fresh whole/bits/parts, caught in the last hours bait., you should use salted bait.
Sometimes the salted bait, even works better than live bait and/or totally fresh whole/bits/parts.
I highly recommend well salted oily/fatty fish, like sardines, herring, mackerel, tuna and similar.
You should really try that as bait.
In 1998 I went to Chesapeake Bay to do similar fishing to what you did in this video, but without a boat.
When I went into a tackle shop to buy some bait, I were lucky enough to be invited by a very nice gentleman and his friend to join them fishing from their boat.
We went fishing for Striped Bass and the fishing was fantastic.
I ended up catching and releasing 30+ good sized Bass in about 3 hours of fishing.
I took home my 2 fish bag limit and grilled them for my girlfriend at that time and some friends the same evening. Good eating.
My girlfriend didn't believe me when I told her about the fishing, but she finally did when I got the photos back to me developed and showed her.
BULL SHIT...salted bait is the last resource, when there's nothing good around!!!
Learned a lot from your channel, thank you.
yes mate thanks for the advice 🙏
I gotta try this. Especially the squid. Which is naturally tough. But this will make it tougher. Great stuff here thanks and tight lines 😀👍
U truly have a fishing passion. I do too. Good videos
In Cape Town South Africa anglers use white mussels, shrimp, sardines and we call squid "chokka"
you are the best my friend thank you for those videos.
I have learned a lot of techniques from you thank you 😊😊😊
thanks for the tips bro..
I like the video game affects 😁
If you like those white perch a lot, then definitely go after white bass , they school up and are a blast to hook up, and they get bigger then the white perch
Love the channel keep it up I wish you guys could do a spear fishing videos I know it's kind of out of the ordinary but it's kind of cool
Hai....skipper. Im from Malaysia... Im also fishing... The bait that i usually used is sea worm...here we called it ruat bakau.. Fresh shrimp....live shrimp, squid and mullet also... Its depend on what the fish most like... We must keep change bait... I will try after that your tip the salted shrim n squid...tq for sharing....skipper. 😅
Hi from Malaysia too
Where in Malaysia do you fish?
@@bunyodshams9676 somewhere around Klang Valley
@@Luffy-fw8id i see, i fish in sabah 😅
@@bunyodshams9676 ahh that's unfortunate we can't fish together tight lines buddy
nice idea thank you for sharing
"Can you please sit down"
U "yes"
Welcome to married life LOL
I caught that one right away. " don't be too harsh on her she loves her man. 🤙🎣🐟🐠🐡 great videos thanks for all the tips. From Sandiego, Ca.🎣
I haven’t gotten into saltwater fishing yet, but when I do, I was planning on using a little sebiki rig (think that’s how you spell it) to gather baitfish, and use those to catch barracuda and other fish like that
ThatWaffleEater 1 that’s my method for pier, almost always works depending on conditions usually.
ThatWaffleEater 1 i think the sabiki rig and hi low rig like he using is pretty much the same. Just sabiki rig have a lot of hooks. So maybe you can tie your own hi low to catch the baitfish.
Big fan senko keep doing what ur doing bro
So funny, last night I posted on my Instagram about your squidybits vs. Shrimp. Every single catch was on the squid. 0 fish -shrimp, 8 fish and 1 large blue crab- squidybits. I tagged you, I hope you are able to see it.
I've seen all sorts of suggestion on drying up and rubberizing bait... the best solution I have found is to use a bag of rice first, tumble it around off and on for a couple hours, and then place in salt.... but use sea salt, non iodized.... after 30 minutes, pick the bait out and place in a new sset of sea salt... ive got some rubbered up real nice and ready for the beach this weekend
I started using FIRE DYE, chartreuse UV on my salted baits and some days it seems to help get more bites.
Thank you so much for sharing your videos. I am a beginner and really love it. Your videos are helping me a lot. Love when you go details on your setups and why your fishing in the spots your in. Again thank you and keep them coming. Question where can I find that type of bait?
Yes, i do love perch, too, so if you don't mind, I'll take two😂.. nice catches
Tried salting my baits and man... Thank you.. It worked soo soo wellll ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great video, you guys are funny. Just about to go out to test salted squid and salted muscles in the Adriatic sea.
best way to catch white perch at the Bay Bridge is to anchor right to the side of the pyling with about 4-5ft between the boat and the pyling fishing straight down using live grass shrimp. Fishing straight down instead of casting out will give you less missed bites.
Just ordered some salty shrimp and the squid tentacles. Will see how they do here in San Francisco Bay for perch, shark and rays. Maybe stripers, flounder and other?
Good stuff for anyone who want to try fishing
Hi mate! I'm from Philippines..
My journey of Fishing started because of you..
I follow everything you've done..
People from my country are getting nuts because of my salted baits 😂
Thanks from 🇵🇭
Gumagana ba salted bait sa pinas?
Thanks a lot for the info...
Sea salt or iodized or does it matter, loves y’all’s videos
Be careful out there on that sketchy boat Senko Skipper. I lost a friend on that stretch of water. It only takes one bad judgement call. Please please wear your life jackets all the time and carry a handheld waterproof VHF radio and a little PLB in ur life jacket. You won't regret it if you get capsized and your life is at the mercy of the sea...
God Bless
Like the 7 mile bridge in the FL Keys, you mess up on a fast tide and you'll be out to sea in a hurry.
Hey I love your channel you got me into fishing and now I’m addicted
Lol begging for a reply ahahaha
That’s awesome:) I’m honored
@@HeySkipper me too!!!
Mm😀😀😀😂😂😂😂Mmm
Always with good company Erine
Thank you, good sharing
That was awesome . Very good test.
What about clam necks?? 😊
On the west coast we leave the shells on shrimp. It last a lot longer that way. Also try kahle hooks. I like eagle claws razor. The fish hook them self and are easy to release just rotate the hook and I comes out.
Man, fresh shrimp is soooo messy. And you need so much of it for one trip. But sometimes that’s all the fish wants! Squidy bits are awesome. Sadly, can’t afford more right now. Fun video guys!! Looks like Brandon got some sun while camping!! Take care and see you next week!!
Fresh shrimp is messy but works wonders! Nice to hear from you Ben!
I will try this!
Watching your experiment.
Great video.. you do not have to take the skin off the shrimp. It will be less messy and tougher, even without being salted.
Best regards from Alexandria, Egypt.
good tips bro....
lol I usually order like 10 packets of Bait elastic at one time.
Love the stuff. My friend used to go through so many whole pilchards, now they last a bit longer
Do u soak the salted bait before use? I've tried salted bait, but the fish seems to spit em out after a nibble...
You can also use salted sardines. I use this in Luanda, Angola 🇦🇴🇦🇴🇦🇴
Hi there. Just a quick question are you using bait holding hooks for the softer shrimp which obviously the bigger fish like, and have you tried to tenderize the squid to make it softer for the larger fish to inhale like the shrimp.
Thank you brother
Nice catch,
Thanks ...gud info
New friend here, thanks for the tips nice catch, fish on!!
Hey man love ur videos
Thank you!
Hi, how do you store salted shrimp after the fishing season is over? Do you leave them in the plastic container with the salt or do you put the shrimp in a zip-lock bag in the refrigerator or freezer?
Very nice good fishing
Hi there....I really enjoyed this tutorial....
Could you please do a test on sardines unsalted and salted.....would really be awesome
This video actually deserves a like
