i'm leaving tomorrow night after work for the island, returning sunday. at the time i want to depart there will be no bait operations open in MDR. additionally it will be just me and my girlfriend so once at the island i will be too shorthanded to run the boat and pass a net to a squid boat at the same time. i'm going to have to make my own bait.
that being said, i want to fish squid for WSB and macks for lings. where is the best place to give this a try? last time i was there, empire was the ticket for the squirts. is this still the case? it'll mostly just be me fishing so i only really need about 20 of em. as for macks, i've never had success making them over there. how deep should i set up for em? i'm going to bring a chum bucket to cheat and help get em to the boat...where is a good place? lee side? west end?
all advice appreciated.
