Free Bait - Use Barnacles!

"Free bait, Good fish, and fun fishin', and it really seems to be effective" Barnacles grow everywhere underwater, and you might be surprised to know just how many critters are living inside it all! This guy was about to clean his boats swimming ladder, but instead of scraping it off at home, he did it right there on his boat. Using the juicy bits of barnacles he scraped off it, he managed to cook himself dinner. Who'd have thought! The fish weren't only biting that day, but continued throughout this guys week, where he took to jettys and bridges, scraping off barnacles with a paint scraper and catching plenty of Sheepshead. This kind of bait is ideally suited to Sheepshead, which have hard mouths, filled with stubby teeth to help them crush the shells of small crabs and (you guessed it) barnacles. Found throughout the Atlantic Ocean, you can spot one of these little guys by the brilliant black and silver stripes down their sides. Check out how quick this guy catches fish off his boat, using a tiny fishing rod and barnacles!
