Cephalopods for sea fishing
Cephalopods are consumed by almost all fishes, but when used as a whole, they will take the big ones and especially the very big ones. Usable throughout the year, these baits will take both the skinny ones in the summer season as well as the various sharks, and they will also be used in the winter for the big conger eels, big pollack, whiting and many others. It is good to have them in addition to the fish for big bites in duo. Mounted on long shank, circle or octopus hooks, all you have to do is seduce the fish with an appropriate rig.
To fish them in their entirety, use two hooks and if you fish at night, a starlight is recommended to accentuate the visual side and will surely give you pleasure afterwards. Very strong, cephalopods do not need any elastic thread for their holding, but nevertheless will have to be replaced regularly for a maximum attractiveness. Placed in the right place, they are baits that generally do not leave big bass or skinny fish unaffected for long on sandy areas.

How to get cephalopods?
Cephalopods are fished mainly with a lure called a jig from a dam, from the shore or by boat. A jig is a fishing accessory composed of a lure and a ring of hooks. In its most rustic form, the jig is simply composed of a lead (or not), and provided with a crown of points. Jigs can imitate the shape of small fish or shrimp, be phosphorescent or luminous. It is from spring that this fishing becomes possible when the cephalopods arrive on the coasts.
You can keep them alive in your boat's livewell or in the refrigerator, but not for very long, beyond a few days they will degrade. If you want to keep them longer, put them in the freezer, but remember that a frozen bait is not worth a fresh one. The freshness of your cephalopod will give off more scent and its color will also be less dull.
