I called his show this morning.. Asking bout some tips about using barnecals for bait, Ive ben hearing about thats the best sure fire bait.. So i asked how on earth do you aquire them and apply to the hook. he laughed and said thats just chum. I reitterated several of the shows claim thats there bait.. not chum..
I know how to scrape a pilling and what not to chum.. but there all claiming bait.. so he and his buddy said use shrimp.. i said i was trying to get barnecals and free baits.. he told me to not be a cheap skate and buy some fiddlers.. then hung up on me..
So another person chimed in .. saying to chum with the scrapings.. and use the green mussels let em sit for 15 mins or so to toughen up.. if i wanted a cheap skate bait there it was...... Man that pissed me off..
There answers to everything is .. take a chrter trip with my boyfriend.. or buy some shrimp.. or fiddlers.. its only money..... F^@% that dude
I should call back and say hey F^@* nut.. sell your cast net and buy your greenbacks and whitebait .. you cheap skate!!!!

Eagle, I heard you on Cap Mel and thought that he was very rude to you. I have seen them used on a few shows and they just stick a hook through a clump of barnicles

Steven,
You can take a 5 gal. bucket at low tide with a rope long enough to reach below the high tide line and swing it against the pilings that have barnacles on them. Get a little water the bucket and pull up just before it hits the piling. The ones that don't fall in the bucket are your chum. You can take black sewing thread and wrap around a cluster of barnacles to keep them together and hold them on your hook. You're a young man in pretty good shape so with a little practice you'll have no problem getting a half a bucket of barnacles in no time.

Wow and that he would be so dismissive of it, imo its a great bait to use cuz the pinfish cant mess with it and only the sheepshead are strong enough to eat it and they have to bite the entire thing to crush it so they are forced to strike a little more assertively

I find it funny how a moderator on Mel's site basically says our board is classless because we allow name calling, yet it was Mel who threw the first stone on public radio. Whether he meant "cheap skate" as a joke or not, he should have made him self more clear so there were no misunderstanding in the first place. Since Cap't mels site is SOOO GREAT AND NICE, why do I recall people posting on there a few months back degrading and name calling pier fishers during the many discussions about conflicts between boaters getting bait and pier fishermen they were interfering with. Where was the no name calling rule then? To those on Mel's site who cant' handle anything above a G rating....Shut up and stay there then!

Them guys are all a bunch of rich Jag Offs, who are just fishin the web for attention, acquaintances (cause $money$ can't buy no real friends$), and lets face it... Most of em ain't got a clue how to really catch a fish on their own, so's they troll the boards tryin to pick up a free tip, or steal somebody's spot. Then they turn around, and write off the serious hardcore, passion afflicted lifetime Pier Rat, as White Trash, Lower Class Pond Scum, Or Whatever The Flavor Of The Week, Politically Correct, definition of those they feel superior to, to make their Jaboronee, Lonely, Ain't Got A F'n Clue What True Happiness Is, Sweatin Their Fake Rich Asses Off To Pay The Monthly Payment On All The crap They Bought to impress somebody else, hopin like hell everything will turn around, Wishin they could just go fishin, instead of sittin in their cubicles bullcrapting on the net about actually going fishin. Having said all that, I'm sure that outside of the so Called "Professional Guides", Who Also Troll Capt. Mel's forum lookin to suck up to, or whore themselves out to the first rich f###er that will let them kiss their ass, there actually are a few good folks that frequent The Capt's Forum, Including the Ole Gentleman Himself, who by the way has done more in the interest of good fishin on the west coast of Florida, the last 30 years, than most of the Jabronee Idiots Who Frequent His Forums can Comprehend. Thank's Capt. Mel Now Kick The a######s off yer Forum, So's EVERYONE will feel welcome again! Sincerly, SKYJAY  PS Merry Christmas, and Kiss My Reindeer Nuts! LOL (Attn. Mod, or Administrator... Please feel free to, modify, edit, or delete this post at will...) I just think that sometimes some crap gotta be said. And There... I Said It! |

CapMel I was listening to your show yesterday and a caller was asking about bait/chum for sheephead. Calling the listener a cheap skate was out of line, but hey it's your show right. So here's a bit of obviosuly unknown knowledge for you to learn and share with your listeners and maybe you'll start catching those convicts using "free" bait.
Special thanks to bigwman over on the skyway site for posting this.
Quote:
Scrape the piling with your scraper holding a bucket below it to catch the barnacles in (you need to be in a boat, etc). Scrape some more for chum. Thread 3 - 5 of the larger barnacles on your hook through the hole in them. Use some from the bucket to chum with too. Freeline (with no weight) your barnacle baits into the small handfuls of chum you are throwing out, so they drift down at the same rate as your chum does.

They were both joking about using barnacle for bait and calling it being a cheap skate. Lighten up, I heard the same thing and could tell they were joking!

Hi Tommy:
As Tongster's reply indicated, I called the fellow a "cheap skate" jokingly, and you obviously took it the wrong way. It was all done in a light hearted and wistful manner and never meant to insult the caller. But, from my perspective Tommy, you're certainly welcome to express that opinion.
And by the way, I really do appreciate your listening to my 970-WFLA radio show.
Best regards,
Capt. Mel Berman

LOL Skiffin16, I'm the original "cheap skate" and a dumpster diver to boot, one mans trash is anothers treasure after all Free bait has allways worked better for me and the rest of us for that matter, it's what the fish are looking for, they must be cheap skates too
IMNSHO it was delivered a bit short Capmel hince my post. It may be better if you told this to the person in question because it bothered him a lot it seems, have a look here > Skyway piers forum
I listen to your show everytime I'm on the pier and when the skip is running just right, I'm in N. FL.
Maybe one of these days we can stand on the same pier and jail break some of those convicts together.

First off crabbyfiddler it's not my site, just another that I read at and there are many if not all, as you call it "civilized folks" who post over there. The wealth of "Skyway Pier" specefic fishing info is second to none, some of the folks have been fishing the Skyway long before it fell and continue to do so. Maybe you should take a look deeper into the site, try some of the advice given freely there to make your next trip on the "worlds longest pier" a pleasure.

Hard for me to get past the fact that name calling is permitted, sorry. Kind of detracts from the good things I'm sure the site has to offer.
I've spent many hours on the South Pier, mostly pre-Flipper. Hated to see the east bridge closed and haven't been back since that happened. I'm sure I'll be down there before too long.

I'm sure The Capt. Meant No Harm, he's too good a feller fer that, (unlike some of the blatantly arrogant insulting stuff the moderators of his Forum have turned a blind eye to.) ( Certainly in the interest of not falling out of the good graces of one of their "Friends")

Come on down crabby, the grouper have been on the chew since the water cooled off. No need to take a long boat ride, the bigguns are now in 20ft of water right off the side of the pier. If you see yourself getting skunked just ask some of the regulars and they'll get you sorted. We're easy to spot, most of us have stickers on the rear window like the avitar I use here.
Skyjay, Rich, James and I will be down second weekend in Jan., will be doing the "Boat" thing to start with and will end up on the pier. Gonna be looking to break some of the convicts outta jail and into the cooler. We're bringing the grands since they seem to catch the best bait for hookin those hogs that hide in the rock's. Sound like a plan?
Merry Christmas to one and all, Happy new year filled with tight lines and full coolers.

Yep, I noticed that earlier as well. Well maybe these guys can get off each others nuts long enough to actually get a clue. Get your rods out of your asses and fish like the folks at the skyway piers pro boards, who get it done every time we go out.
I love this place!
