What is a very good bait for fishing in sea water ?

Question

In salty water

Answer 1

other smaller fish, preferably live

Answer 2

Try to find out what your target species are feeding on and try to get that particular bait. And remember in most cases live bait is better. If you can do all that, squid, shrimp and small fish (finger mullet, scad , sprat etc...) will do fine.

Answer 3

Depends what you are going for.  I have seen people catch massive Tuna with a hook and shredded plastic bags.  A lot of fish chase prawns, smaller fish or mussels.  Your best bet is to talk to the local people.  They will give you the best advice on what to use and where to go.

Answer 4

Small fish.

Answer 5

Live eels hooked through the mouth, live menhaden hooked through the back. They will swim out to deep water and big fish. Keep the bail open and when the line starts to run out fast a big fish is swallowing your bait. Let it run for a few seconds, flip the bail down, take up the slack, give a good yank, and you're in for one helluva fight. Man, I miss saltwater fishing.

Answer 6

When I was living in the Marshall Islands (Central Pacific), 99+% of the time I trolled with artificial lures resembling squid. The one guided trip I made out of Key West, Fla. the mate rigged live ballyhoo to knock 'em dead.
