Aloha Chris and thanks for another excellent video.
I like your bait bag material. Very clever. I am used to using Panty Hose material. It ties up very similarly and holds on to the hook well.
I have been using the Panty Hose bait bags for quite some time and have found they work well in fresh and saltwater given the appropriate bait in them.
In freshwater, I have found them best for use on Channel Catfish as well as other species of Cats.
I have only seen Channel Catfish in Hawaii when I go fishing at Lake Wilson on O'ahu. I also like the Peacock Bass up there too.
The bait bags that I make will usually be from ground up Mackerel or even Tuna. I put in a blender and just pulse it a few times. I fill the Nylons and start tying off just like making little sausages. These will then go in the freezer for later use.
The bags slowly disperse scent and attract the catfish in to the target area.
I do make some with squid, sardine and Bonito just for saltwater fishing. I'm sure you could use any of the Scad, Jacks and even Barracuda to serve the same purpose. Any of the oily fish will work good.
On one of my last trips there, I even had success with the Goat fish in my bait bags. [cool]
