Description
The secret to catching saltwater fish in Florida might be this tiny live bait! Join Rad Reeling for a kayak fishing adventure across Sarasota Bay, where I catch greenback shiners (pilchards) with a cast net and belly-hook them to target mangrove snapper, flounder, snook, and more.
Greenbacks, pilchards, threadfin herring, and LY baitfish are popular live bait choices among Southwest Florida anglers. In this adventure, I demonstrate how I rig and fish live greenbacks around docks, mangrove shorelines, and grass flats near New Pass and City Island in Sarasota, Florida.
Along the way, I catch mangrove snapper, flounder, Spanish mackerel, and snook while exploring different fishing spots using live bait, a pompano jig, and a teaser rig.
The goal is simple: catch fresh fish for dinner! Watch as I clean, cook, and taste fresh mangrove snapper and Spanish mackerel right on the shoreline.
