capt marc,

thanks forthe info. was out on the reef this year and watched a boat fishing with hermits kill the fish right through the turn of the tide. the few times i was able to get my hands on some hermits i out fished just about everybody. I think there is something to it.

gotog,

I do believe this to be true. As i have a spot on the reef that is very productive but once the guy with the hemits show up i just get the straaggers has happened more than once. He will not let meknow where he gets them but, he always has them. I thought they were easier to get, Im not driving to greenport or dredging. i appreciate all the feedback

where were you able to get the hermits at tobay
do you have to dig for them or are they just crawling around on the sand? Is there a better time of year to get them? thanks for all the help
