been on ssp twice earlier this week. seems to be plenty of bait, but the when the net hits the water they scatter. tried a #4 sabiki, no luck there. any tips on getting them balled up? i've heard canned mackerel or oatmeal may work. only guy i saw bringin any up had a heavy duty net. thanks.

When the bait is deeper as they seem to be now, that heavy net is the only thing that will sink fast enough. Try mixing up some Jack Mackerel with the oat meal, some sand and water. Toss small golf ball size chunks in, this may bring them up. Seems to work for me.

bait was deep when I was out there last week...when I wasn't getting cut off by all the mackerel, I managed to jig them up 1 or 2 at a time on the sabiki
