Mar 5, 2009; 05:22PM - Meat Stock Cube Chemical Lure

Tip&Trick Description 1:
MEAT STOCK CUBE CHEMICAL LURE
This started off by being an applied science project in school linked to fishing for predatory species. I am happy for anyone to try it out. It takes some preparation but is worth the experiment. You can use it for river, lake or sea fishing from a bank, beach, pier or boat. Use the strongest line you have for dragging. Have a camera to get evidence of your catch.
First get your meat stock cubes – the red varieties are the best imitation of the fluids that leak from wounded prey. They are much cheaper if bought in the large boxes and cost even less if you can get them put on someone else’s shopping list.
You also need a pair of tights or stockings so ask nicely – particularly if someone is wearing them at the time!
Cut the tights/stockings up into 10cm (4in) squares and put them onto a flat surface.
Take the foil wrapping off of each stock cube being careful not to crumble it and place one centrally onto each square of the tights/stockings.
Tie the four corners of the material together into a firm knot – a test of your dexterity – you may need to use bigger squares at first and trim them up afterwards.
Then tie a length of line inside the knot of each lure bag leaving plenty of spare to attach to the eye on your lure. Store your bags in a waterproof and crushproof container.
When you are ready to fish attach a bag to the eye of your lure making sure that you tie the knot so that a used bag can be easily removed from the eye but cannot slip off during movement underwater. A pair of fine scissors will useful to do the cutting during bag changing. Dispose of used bags and line responsibly please – not into the water or onto the site.
Keep safe – wear a lifejacket if you are fishing on or by deep water. Keep yourself warm and waterproof. Do not fish on your own – it is safer with others. Let someone know where you are going and have a means of contacting him or her.

SUNDAY 8-26-07
Had a cancellation for Saturday and Sundays trip was moved to a later date in September.
So, I took advantage of the two days off to do some much needed matenance to the 'YEAH RIGHT'.
Manning Outen fished Saturday and called me to let me know that the bottom fish offshore were still 'chewing down'.
A load of fish that included eight keeper grouper and an eight foot tiger shark.
Sounds like a very exciting day out there and several fresh fish dinners are in the future!!
At least he told me after I got all my repairs and service finished!!
Thanks Manning for the 'heads up' on the fishing, we will be back at it this week, stay in touch for more reports, Till next time, FISH ON!!! Capt Butch www.yeahrightcharters.com
FRIDAY 8-24-07
Well, I finally quit listening to the weather man and went to see for myself what the seas were like.
3 to 5 foot,YEAH RIGHT!!!! It was flat calm out there!!!!
Well maybe not flat calm, but no more than 2 feet at the very most at anytime!!
I had decided that if I kept waiting for a 'good forecast' that my fishing career may very well be over for a while!!
Now I'm not saying to disregard what the forecast says, but, 5 knot winds and 4 to 6 seas with no storms in the ocean.
I'm not saying that it isn't possible, and it may happen, but it's not happening at this time!!!
So, I met up with Charles Bennett from Tyro, NC and two friends Donald and Greg Kinley from Lexington, NC.
With the forecast still in the back of my mind, we ventured to the river channel where I could see from there that the weatherman's record was just 'stuck'
I made the run some 45 miles offshore in nearly perfect sea conditions. Why wasn't it perfect conditions, I don't know, except maybe that nothing on this earth is perfect!!
Any way, when we dropped on the first school of fish, we got 'NO' Bites!!
The next school, NO Bites!!
I was getting concerned, what's up???
I looked at my tide watch, the tide was beginning to make a switch and I figured the fish were relocating for the tide change and that was occuping their attention at that very moment.
So here I adjusted accordingly, and the guys couldn't keep their baits on the bottom!
It was fast and furious from that point on till the next slack tide!!
They had a bet on the biggest fish and Charley went ahead and got that out of the way first thing with the big Amberjack being the first fish he caught.
Now Greg was about to challenge the big fish pot several times, but, just couldn't keep them on the hook!!
Donald held his own and put both groupers in the boat!!
It was a real pleasure fishing with people from my home town area again.
That's the thing I miss most about not being there anymore, it's all the nice folks around that area of NC.
We ended the day with quite a catch for just three people!!
We had Big Black Bass, Almaco Jacks, Amberjack, Shark, Grey Snappers, Triggerfish, Huge B-Liners, Big Joltheads, Silver Snappers, and two Groupers, a nice Red and a nicer Scamp!!
I bet they sleep good tonight, I know I will!! Till next time, FISH ON!! Capt Butch and 'Admiral Bodie' the fish dog says, fall is just around the corner, Yeah!!! www.yeahrightcharters.com
