The Perfect Bait - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Squid are not a real reliable bait source, usually. I like deens the most but they do not last near as long on a hook as a green mack. Deens are also more fragile in the bait tank. Depending on your bait tank you can fish longer with macks than deens. Although they haven't been around lately, bonito and cuda can maul your deens about as fast as you can get them in the water. They will usually leave larger macks alone so you can actually target YT. Mike
