[February 1, 2004]8 Things NOT To Do with Your BaitYou've heard and read a thousand times what to do with your baits. Cut them at an nth-degree angle, hook them this way, fish them that way. But do you know what not to do? Here are a few things I've learned the hard way.
[1] Don't soak ballyhoo in formaldehyde. Sure it toughens them, but I've seen too many rejected to ever do it again.
[2] Don't put leftover live eels in a fish tank. They can slither out, which can be frightening at 3 a.m.

[January 1, 2002]Fly by NightFishermen are always looking for that silver bullet: a bait that will have fish opening wide no matter how tight their previous lockjaw. But such a magic bait just doesn't exist-or does it? Slow-trolled or live-lined flying fish can tempt tunas and billfish almost all the time. But where do you find spunky, live flying fish? They're not a mainstay in most tackle shops. Solution? Get them on your own; all you need are some powerful lights, a long-handled dip net, and a livewell.
