Live Pinfish Pompano beach Live and Fresh Bait

Live Bait Pompano Beach

This abundant little spiked baitfish is one of the best snapper baits available.  Pinfish live on grass patches and are voracious eaters. They can be caught with sabiki rigs, cast nets, and will even hit small jigs tipped with shrimp or squid.  Pinfish can grow to be the weight of about a half pound and are great bait for snappers and groupers.  Pinfish are excellent bottom fishing and wreck fishing. Pinfish are extraordinary baits for snapper’s tarpon, snook, and grouper.
Rigging a pinfish through the tail works great either suspended under a popping cork (it makes them look helpless as they struggle to swim down while the cork keeps them up) or around deeper areas where you want your bait to go down deep.

Hooking the pinfish through the tail allows the pinfish to swim towards the bottom (which pinfish naturally go straight to the bottom anyway because this is where they live in their natural environment). Hook the pinfish through the tail either on the top side or the bottom. Once the hook is pushed through the bodies of the fish make sure the point of the hook has no scales stuck on it. If scales are present on the tip of the hook it can cause you to not get a good hook set in the predator fish.
