Bait Gear

Cast nets, bait buckets, aerators and chum bags to keep the bait coming.

Out on the bay, in the mangroves or on the open ocean, the everyday struggles get left behind at the dock. For those few hours, it’s just you, the smell of the sea and a feeling of peace, until the bite starts and it’s nothing but joy and excitement.

Bait Gear

Live bait catches more fish

Sardines, herring and ballyhoo are the Caribbean's best baits. A cast net lets you catch a day's worth in a few throws at dawn.

Keep it alive

An aerator and a flow-through bucket keep bait frisky all day. Keep the water cool and out of the sun.

Chum brings them to you

A chum bag over the side draws baitfish and predators into range. Check local rules before chumming.
