How to Use Weighted Bait in Offshore Fishing

On behalf of expertvillage.com, my name is Captain Rafael Mayans down here in South Florida with Sea Cross Sports Fishing Inc. Today we are going to explain to you offshore fishing techniques. Also when you are fishing offshore and you tend to use these artificial baits, depending on the weather conditioning and how the winds are blowing, it depends how your baits are swimming. So I have a bait right now in my hands that is weighted. It's got a 6 ounce leveled head on the bait so it keeps the bait underneath the surface as you troll. Some days you will need heavier weights, to down baits and some days you don't depending on the wind and the currents and the conditions. So everything switches upon the hour when you are offshore fishing. So you got to constantly monitor the weather conditions and look at the conditions on the water and the surface.
