Freelining is one of the most effective ways of fishing with a hook and line. Bass love freeline baits, Peeler Crab or whole fish baits can be used here.
Freelining involves casting a baited hook and letting it sink gently through the water until it hits the bottom. Often no sinker is needed, but usually a little weight is necessary to counteract the current.
The idea behind freelining is that a bait looks natural as it drifts down through the water and drifts along the seafloor, and fish feel minimal resistance from the sinker or the line when they take the bait. You just have to anticipate when the fish will show.
In this Video we use Mackerel Head for Bait. Size 4/0 hook, 20 lb leader attached to a light spinning outfit. A rising tide works best at this venue which allows the bait to drift slowly along the beach. A cast of only 10 - 20 yards is required. Some weight can be added to stay in control however best presented naturally with just the bait only.
