Let's see some pics/stories of what you caught on these awesome baits!
|
fish...
|
Good during the herring run when people are fishing live herring around you I prefer the pogie color in this situation.
Now when bunker is around during the day pearl the twilight gold at night purple If you own stripers in paradise ou'd know why I let fish'n Dive field that one |
Caught a ton of schoolies and 3 keepers on the 4" pearl this year in the fall. Tried the bunker and mackerel colored but with not much luck.
Also noticed that the Pearl seemed to be the choice w/ most of the guys I bumped into |
yea most of mine on 4" pearl...6" bunker rocks too
|
lots of fish. bunker color, the big ones, not the huge ones with 2 hooks.
|
The blue 6 inch shads are DEADLY (day/night) when stripers are feeding on scup.
|
mostly schoolies from the 4" Bunker and 4" pearl , a few nice fish from the the 5" and 6"er's
|
Tons of schoolies, a good number of keepers, bluefish galore:af:, fluke, and most incredibly a 40 lb. tarpon. :D
|
Tons of schoolies in the bway ponds on the 4" shads.
|
Multiple keepers, dogs, cod, a spanish mack destroyed one my daughter was using..
|
Lost a monster in the channel this summer. Bent the hook out.
SO BUMMED. Those little things are special for matching the feed and getting it down there. Still hurting from losing that one. Felt like the biggest I ever had on the other end ! :exp: :exp: :exp: |
Caught a few schoolies. 4" pearl
|
Besides stripers, a sea robbin.
|
4" pearl storm wildeyes
Used these almost exclusively this fall. Multiple bass up to 34" and once I attached a wire leader almost as many blues. A great lure to use off the beaches!
|
schoolies, had a gator blue rip the hook outta the lead. Fished it for a bit then realized the blue had ripped the hook away from the lead.
|
I might have caught something if I took the darn hook cover off :smash: :smash:
I used them just one time this year and it was at the end of the season. I threw it over and got a few hits, but no fish?? I never thought of using them on fluke?? I will have to give it a try!! I caught some nice Fluke on live Scup this summer. |
bloo fish cut mine into peices
|
My neighbor and I had a duel with those things. We caught 20-25 schoolies 24 -26 inches in about 30 minutes! Giggling like little boys . Great lures!
|
I personally had the most success with the sardine color. Why? I don't know. I do know that often enough to notice, the smaller version did better than the larger.
|
P.S. I've caught more bass than blues I think. However I was surprised to see them hold up fairly well with my namesake....
|
Tons of schoolies and blues on 4" shad color and 3 keepers up to 34", got to get some more for spring :)

The slower I fished them the better they worked.;)
|
4" peanut bunker.......bouncing on the bottom
|
ooo.....i can never find the 4" in bunker....anyone know where you can get them?
|
4" Bunker
InshoreAngler,
We have about 4 packages left at King Cove Outfitters. You can PM me if you want some. I have had decent success in the breachways with the 4" and 5" Pinfish as well as the 4" and 5" Bunker. Don M |
HAD GREAT SUCESS MAINLY SCHOOLIES ON 4'' MULLET AND BUNKER.I SMASH DOWN BARB FOR CATCH AND RELEASE AND WHEN I WAS STANDING IN WATER RELEASING A BASS I FORGOT THE STORMS IS NOR FIRM LIKE A BUCKTAIL AND GRABBED STORM HEAD WHEN BASS TURNED AND STORM HOOK RIPPED MY FINGURE OPEN.DID'NT MAKE THAT MISTAKE AGAIN.LOVE THE STORMS CAST GREAT AND CATCH SMALL AND BIG,IS MY NEW GO TO LURE.
|
This is an exceptional lure. It casts great for being mostly rubber based . The weight is great. I gernerally use a pretty big one from the surf and had great success. Blues make quick work of the boides I personally lost at least two dozen to blues...just heads left. My kids like this little one in the ponds here for school bass...very effective.
This spring I caught a 31#er on one, a 5" or so pogy pattern. I have a huge one about 10" for trolling...I have used it a couple times briefly and so far trolled it deep with wire and just lost one with with it. It is a blue-green color. |
