Sibiki Rig St Marks

[Salty Gator]

Ive tried cast net and sabikis but the best way I've found is with a cane pole (what you southerners call a "bream buster" ).
Hit the grass flats pretty much anywhere and you will fill your live well in 20 minutes or less. Tip the hook with gulp and the little buggers won't be able to clean you out.

Southerners call a cane pole a cane pole. We call a bream buster a bream buster. There is a difference

Cane poles are either the "real wood" pole or the "fiberglass" extendable poles. Bream busters are small rods about 4 ft long with a small zebco reel. We use them to cast small beetlespins and rooster tail lures on the Flint. LOL.

To me a cane pole is made from bamboo. A bream buster is the telescoping fiberglass rod. A small rod for casting beetlespins is an ultralight. That's how I learned in in south Alabama
Google bream buster and see what comes up

I find the best way to use the sabiki is just set up a drift over the flats (4-6 feet, grass) and drop the sabiki rig behind your drift so you don't have to cast at all. The drift will take your bait away from the boat. Tip with tiny Fresh gulp pieces. I let the rig drop, spool out a bit, then click over and lift up occasionally. Typically, you should get strikes within the first few seconds.

I've always considered the bamboo pole and the fiberglass telescoping pole to be the same, just made from different materials. The small spinning reels with ultra-fast action is what we call the ultralight. The "go to" for spring crappie fishing.

Round here, a cane pole is made from bamboo and a bream buster is what you buy from the store. Not sure about how they do it up north

I have tried this at Lanark and wasn't that successful. I only caught one every ten of fifteen minutes. I was in 1-2 foot of water, should I be deeper?

On another note, where should I go to get some Blue Runners?

Yes, go deeper. Blue runners and be found around cans or pilings. Found some on Dog island reef when sabikiing pins last Sunday

As several folks have said, 4' to around 6' will be eaiser to fish the sabikis. Want to make sure you're over grass as well.

And even with you trying the super shallow waters can't help but ask did you do as recommended and tip with gulp? It makes all the difference in the world with pins (some other bait types will hit more readily without gulp, especially offshore). You should get nibbles pretty much constantly if over grass. If I'm over grass and quit getting nibbles it usually means the gulp got pulled off and it's time to retip. I actually like using as small of pieces of gulp as I can get on the hook. Gives pins less to tug at and improves hook-up ratios as well.

I tipped with squid. I guess I was to shallow.

I do well tipping sabiki (or the smallest crappie jig I can find) with little triangles of pink FishBites

It seems we've reached an impasse... I will never be able to look at a stick with a piece of fishing line tied to it, the same way.

Gulp strips work well as bait. I put it on the hook and cut it to leave a small piece. http://www.berkley-fishing.com/berkley- ... 6&start=47
