Probably a stupid question but while sharking if i were to drop a clam to the bottom is there a chance i could get something else to keep me busy.

no sorry, there's no chance of catching anything in the ocean with a clam because thats not a food source out in the ocean.they wouldn't no what it is.

Passing tme...

Yes,you can drop a clam down.On those wrecks you are drifting there can be a cod,blackfish,seabass,pollack.You can also use butters,mackeral or bunker to catch some big blues in the slick.

I agree with B.Attitude. You can send a clam bait to the bottom. Sometimes you can catch a few ling or other bottom fish.

Clam

Hi:
Many was the time I dropped a clam bait down and was rewarded with Red Hake,Codling,Sea Bass, Whiting. It kept me busy and If I didn't take it home for supper, I'd cip a fin and hok it and drop it back into the slick as sharkbait. EARLY and kate in the shark season, it attracted the occasional BFT too.
Keep your feet dry and catch 'em up.

P.S.
A squid strip works as well as a clam.
If your really bold,try a Mackerel strip too.

Mahiman-
I apologize if your humor is lost on me, but you're not serious, are you? If I had a dollar for every fish I've caught on clams in the ocean (from right off the beach to 50 miles out and more), I'd be retired and living very well.

u can fishing with herring strip and catch dog fish. One time i caught dog fish then i put dog fish as bait and the big mako shark bite dog fish's stomach. one time i use chunk of bunker and i caught big blue fish in slick then cut the blue fish's belly and threw in water then shark will bite blue fish and i saw it.

You never know what you can catch. I have used clams and other baits to bottom fish offshore and have caught cod, seabass, fluke and dogfish and sometimes I wasn't over a wreck. It dosen't happen all the time but you never know. I'm sure you shark fisherman dropped a fluke rig down out there. I have and I landed my biggest fluke ever. You just never know.
