A Day on the 72-foot Viking Krazy Salts

By

Krazy Salts — Capt. Keith Greenberg

Custom Rods by Dru and Shimano reels keep Krazy Salt’s anglers connected to the fish.

The 72-foot Viking’s bridge command center features Garmin 3X touch screens.

A lunchtime appetizer features succulent Jersey shrimp and a popular crab dip. You can be sure that all the food on board is seasoned to perfection—with just the right amount of salt!

The “big-pitch” sits ready to go in a PVC tube fastened to the fighting chair. Best part? It’s custom wrapped with a Jane’s Krazy Mixed Up Seasoning label. Additional pitch baits are situated on the tower leg rod holders wrapped in Krazy Salt’s labeling. The pitch baits are marinated and ready to be gobbled up.

Deckhand Luke Hickey likes to situate the next round of baits outside the bait cooler. “I like the baits to be ready to go and swimming as soon as they hit the water. Baits inside a cooler can take a minute to get flexible,” says Luke. Check out Luke’s rigging demonstration here.

During the course of the day, this bucket accommodates the ABU (already been used) baits. You just never know what’s swimming behind the boat and tossing an ABU could cause an FD—fish detour—away from the hooked baits!

Red Bull and Jagermeister is a winning combination to celebrate each billfish release. Warning! Fishing with Krazy Salt’s during hot bite can cause memory loss.

The whole team sits ready for action—well, almost!

The Krazy Salt’s team is always looking for a good laugh.

Catching Live Tinker Mackerel

More on Catching Tinker Mackerel
Great post about catching tinker mackerel. We fish out of Ocean City, MD and are looking to try live baiting. Would you be able to help us determine which bait is a tinker mackerel on the fishfinder? We are using both Chirp and regular transducers. Can you describe what the tinkers look like on the bottom machine, or post a screen shot of what the marks look like? Thanks!

Don, here’s a couple screen shots of tinkers on the fishfinder from yesterday’s trip. The first shot you can see a scratch right on the bottom. The second shot the fish are stacked up. The tinkers aren’t always on the bottom; sometimes they are suspended a few fathoms off the bottom and sometimes they are holding higher in the water column. Hope this helps. –Ric Burnley
