The Procure scent stays in the water when the non-Procure lure is cast. Procure has “biting stimulants”, so assuming they work, fish can bite a non-Procure lure because Procure is already in the water from the previous casts. Fish the same spot for 4-6 days and use Procure 2-3 days and fish non-Procure the other days. Nice video!
I used Pro-cure this pass Winter and During Spring. It was noticeable more effective than non- usage on lures. My catch ratio was greater in water that didn't yield much fish. This was while other fishermen participated. Pro-cure gave me more confidence. And I caught more fish than others.
Hey Simon, why not just tie on a cork with a lure at the bottom; one has procure and the other doesnt. cast both out and see which gets a bit and which doesnt.
I typically get more strikes without corks because I can control the depth that the lure is being presented to fish as the depths of the water change, so that's what I used to increase the amount of strikes that I'd get in that short amount of time I had on the water.
I understand, but I figured just dead-sticking the bait under a cork and leaving it there, one with scent and the other without, may be the best way to test it. Movement is playing a big role. the fish see the bait, so they target it. Or you could try 2 scents against each other. There are a few factors that come into play, really. If there's fish in the spot you're casting to, etc. All that. But, great video anyways, dude.
The common harbor porpoise has an abrupt snout, pointed teeth and a triangular thoracic fin, while the bottlenose dolphin, or Tursiops truncatus, has an elongated beak, round cone shaped teeth and a serrated dorsal appendage. But I'm sure you already knew that.
I live in the same area and have been getting 1 to many hits without a good bite so I'll be trying out this product, will post results. Mostly aiming for small snook/ reds/ and flounder the next two months.
I haven't used any of the Pro Cure products. I was under the impression it is oil based which is why it stays on the bait so well. Being oil based I wouldn't think it would release in the water nearly as well as a water based product like the Gulp.
I have the best result with procure when you just can't seem to get fish to hit anything...seems like sometimes it just needs that little bit of scent to get them to commit ...I've had reds follow lures to the boat and not eat , that's when I add the procure 9 out of 10 times it will get them to strike.
Otis def makes for an added challenge. Here's the trip that I got the most frustrated with him... he jumped in to chase a 32" snook that I had on and would not stop chasing the snook around (I had to free-line it twice to let it get away from the dog). www.saltstrong.com/fishing-tip/clearwater-fishing-report/ As frustrating as it was at the time, the memory of that catch was more enjoyable given the added challenge though. And Otis is fortunately getting calmer and calmer as he is finally getting past his puppy stage.
What would be interesting test is using a slow moving lure that has a finesse style action, like the shrimp. A lure that is more for fooling game fish rather than causing them to react. So I would like to know if Pro-Cure helps with slow moving lures.
Great idea to test out! It will be cool to see what kind of patterns you run into with scent/no scent. Personally I’ve heard and have seen some examples first hand of fish not necessarily consistently striking more with added scents, but that they are willing to hold onto the lure longer with added scents... you might try playing around with that...
I use it all the time, I use the Zman diesel minnows, just run a bead thru the belly split it lasts a while , Zman treats the flukes with it , I love that stuff
I've wade fished that exact area where you were in the 1st few minutes of the video. I was using a doa paddle tail rigged weedless. I was using procure. I caught about 5 smaller trout and a slot snook. That flat is loaded with trout.
Yes, that flat sure seems to be loaded with trout. I saw it on the satellite maps and knew that there would be some fish there. I was hoping for some snook and reds too near the island, but couldn't get any takers.
I'm boarding the plane in Detroit heading to St. Pete today for a week of fishing. Have a bay boat down there and all the rigs and tackle you have been suggesting. I can see the Skyway bridge in the video but can't tell exactly where you are at. Can you provide some information on what flats you are fishing. I'll post some pics if I'm successful tomorrow. Thanks.
Hey Jeffrey, I show the exact locations that I fished that day in this Insider Report: www.saltstrong.com/insiders/procure-experiment-insider-report/ And you can see 30+ other reports in the Tampa Bay region on this map: www.saltstrong.com/insider-fishing-reports/
Glad to you that you enjoyed this video and Otis' excitement... sometimes he likes it too much as seen in this video: www.saltstrong.com/fishing-tip/clearwater-fishing-report/
Glad to see that you're enjoying Otis' antics. Here's a link to see some of his most popular trips out on the water in case you'd like to see more: www.saltstrong.com/article_categories/otis/
Great topic on Pro Cure effectiveness. I'm using the Mullet scent being that supposedly Z man impregnates their baits with that scent. Verdict is still out
I use a variety of different rods (constantly testing out new ones for our Insider Club). Here's a link to see the rod reviews we've made so far: www.saltstrong.com/article_categories/fishing-rods/ The ones in this video were 7'6" TFOs (review is in above link)
my personal opion ia that procure works best on non active feeding fish and fishing slow so the atractent saturates the water. btw my dog acts like that and drives me bonkers. lol
Thanks for making time to leave the helpful comment, Roger. I am glad to see that it's not just my dog that goes absolutely crazy when a fish is on the end of the line:)
Out fished my cousin with an egret wedge tail and pro-cure on some reds the inshore kind it might have just been a lucky day for me though lol he didn't catch one
You seem to like calling dolphins a "porpoise" in your videos. You'd have though Ace Ventura would have taught you the difference. Plus porpoises don't live in Florida.
Otis makes this video even better. He gets so excited when a fish is on!
Thanks! Fishing with Otis is always fun!

Pro-cure like recipe lard and fish flakes blended together works well.And a lot cheaper
Otis looks a lovely dog but he'd drive me nuts 😅
The common harbor porpoise has an abrupt snout, pointed teeth and a triangular thoracic fin, while the bottlenose dolphin, or Tursiops truncatus, has an elongated beak, round cone shaped teeth and a serrated dorsal appendage. But I'm sure you already knew that.
I love how he's cutting out the dog chewing up the trout😂😂
I live in the same area and have been getting 1 to many hits without a good bite so I'll be trying out this product, will post results. Mostly aiming for small snook/ reds/ and flounder the next two months.
🤓
And the results are.....
Otis seems to love the bait! 0:38
Haha!

Thanks for the helpful details. Fish On!
I like dogs, but there is no way I would have one in the boat trying to fish. That would drive me crazy.
Charles Driggers not all dogs act that way. My labrador sits still if i tell her to and wont take a fish unless i give it to her or tell her to get it

Otis is having a good time!
He sure loves to go fishing!
i really just think it is just right time right place
GREAT LOVE THE CAM VIEW
Thanks Tim!
ProCure definitely works on dogs...
What would be interesting test is using a slow moving lure that has a finesse style action, like the shrimp. A lure that is more for fooling game fish rather than causing them to react. So I would like to know if Pro-Cure helps with slow moving lures.
Good point. I assume that the scent factor increases in importance as the lure speed decrease, but the only way to know for sure is to test it out:)
Great idea to test out! It will be cool to see what kind of patterns you run into with scent/no scent. Personally I’ve heard and have seen some examples first hand of fish not necessarily consistently striking more with added scents, but that they are willing to hold onto the lure longer with added scents... you might try playing around with that...
Thanks. I'll def keep that in mind when analyzing the scent vs. no scent results.
I use it all the time, I use the Zman diesel minnows, just run a bead thru the belly split it lasts a while , Zman treats the flukes with it , I love that stuff

works for me seen reds that look at the lure but wont hit put on some pc and the pick it up

Throw some shrimp mullet or inshore up into the clusters on half a crab and go out for black drum.
Duuude, otis loves to fish! That is sick!

Trout strike at anything they see.
Otis is the best I find myself watching him as the fish gets closer to the boat. Sorry Luke I tend to watch your dog more than you fishing,.
dogs a bit annoying ngl
Gotta make a shirt with Odis and a trout in his mouth I’d wear the heck out of it
Haha!
You seem to like calling dolphins a "porpoise" in your videos. You'd have though Ace Ventura would have taught you the difference. Plus porpoises don't live in Florida.
Perhaps I did it on "porpoise" so that I could tell this corny joke in the comment feed:)
