Where in brash water and been seeing everything from gator gar and catfish to mullet and reds floating from the getting chopped up in the props. Just curious what would y'all throw out here if y'all had the chance ? Think I'd sling out a pice of skipjack or smoother baitfish on a float and jig around eh boat it lil artificial till I got some live bait while the other rod was fishing

Depends on the boat apparently. In class they said it's not allowed in the fleet they say they do it all the time . Idk. Probably gonna see what my captain says when I get my assignment. Might just get a nice lil travel rod or something

My captain liked us to keep busy so I generally didn't get to fish but once every few trips. Well I was on the Ohio and we kept getting hung up in lock delay at lock 52 and 53 while they were still operating. After every inch of the boat was painted and polished we ran out of work. I decided I would bring some frozen skipjack the next trip to try to catch something substantial instead of the fiddlers we'd catch on livers. Vacuum sealed some skippies and put them in the deck locker fridge when I got on the boat. A few days went by and we were busy so I didn't think anything about the bait . Well one night at watch change our mate comes out to the deck locker and he always kept a ziplock bag full of candy in the same fridge. Mind you this guy is a good dude but crosseyed so bad it looks cartoonish. His vision is rough to say the least. He pulls the candy bag out of the fridge and I kid you not, it has a half inch of blood in the bottom. My eyes had to be as big as lemons as he grabs a candy out of the bag casually eats it and comments about how the fridge stinks. He went to the wheelhouse to talk to the captain so I jerked the fridge open to see my freezer bag had gotten a pinhole in it and leaked right in the dudes ziplock. Threw the fish in the river real quick and rised the bag candy and all in the sink. The guy never did find out but that mistake did cost me a lot. The leadman that was in the deck locker with me at the time got his choice jobs come painting season to buy his silence.
