How do you fish with anchovies?

Anchovies are a popular baitfish used to catch a variety of saltwater species, including striped bass, bluefish, and tuna. They can be fished live, dead, or cut into pieces.

To fish with live anchovies, use a small hook (size 2-4) and cast it into the water. Let the baitfish swim freely, and use a slow retrieve.

To fish with dead anchovies, rig them on a hook and cast them into the water. Use a weight to keep the baitfish near the bottom.

To fish with cut anchovies, cut the baitfish into small pieces and use them as bait on a hook. This method is effective for catching smaller fish.

No matter which method you use, be sure to use fresh anchovies. Fresh anchovies will be more lively and attractive to fish.
