Tips for fishing saltwater popping corks. . .
- For big redfish and other large game fish pursued with a popping float, the traditional concave top version is the ticket.
- In calm waters, use a 3½-inch popping float to be more stealthy. When it’s choppy to rough, he ties on a 5-inch float to generate loud popping that permeates the surrounding water.
- After the initial pop, it’s best to pause the retrieve, much like when working a topwater chugger.
- Most strikes occur during the pause. So be ready…
- Popping corks are effectively rigged with a variety of baits, both natural and artificial. Shrimp, mullet, menhaden, sardines, pinfish, pigfish and mud minnows are among the top live bait choices.
