Sardines vs. Anchovies
What does everyone prefer when fishing live bait in the local bays. Last time I went out, caught a few short butts on anchovies but nothing on the dines, although the dines did get raked up pretty good. I'm definitely gonna use a trap hook next time. Just wondering everyone's thoughts when targeting butts with live bait in the bays. I know they both will work, but wanted to know others preferences.

trap rig dines. they last longer than chovies IMHO.
but i'd much rather choose smelt over the 2 when it comes to drifting for halis in the bay.

both are fine. chovies will get you lots of shorts. sardines will get you legals! dont need a trap hook on the legals. they inhale both chovies and dines no problem

Thanks for the input. The bait barge says that dines and chovies don't do too well together in a kayak sized bait tank. Any feelings on this?
