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

InshoreAngler 11-24-2003 07:57 AM

yea most of mine on 4" pearl...6" bunker rocks too

Christian 11-24-2003 08:00 AM

lots of fish. bunker color, the big ones, not the huge ones with 2 hooks.

fishweewee 11-24-2003 08:16 AM

The blue 6 inch shads are DEADLY (day/night) when stripers are feeding on scup.

srfcstrrpc 11-24-2003 08:38 AM

mostly schoolies from the 4" Bunker and 4" pearl , a few nice fish from the the 5" and 6"er's

Big Vern 11-24-2003 09:44 AM

Tons of schoolies, a good number of keepers, bluefish galore:af:, fluke, and most incredibly a 40 lb. tarpon. :D

RIJIMMY 11-24-2003 09:44 AM

Tons of schoolies in the bway ponds on the 4" shads.

Roop 11-24-2003 11:19 AM

Multiple keepers, dogs, cod, a spanish mack destroyed one my daughter was using..

beachwalker 11-24-2003 11:41 AM

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:

HighTide 11-24-2003 12:24 PM

Caught a few schoolies. 4" pearl

Steve K 11-24-2003 12:28 PM

Besides stripers, a sea robbin.

roym 11-25-2003 07:04 PM

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!

ThrowingTimber 11-25-2003 08:23 PM

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.

macojoe 11-25-2003 08:31 PM

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.

missing link 11-25-2003 08:49 PM

bloo fish cut mine into peices

Backbeach Jake 11-25-2003 09:04 PM

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!

bluefish 11-26-2003 07:56 PM

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.

bluefish 11-26-2003 07:58 PM

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....

RiverRatt 11-27-2003 01:00 PM

Tons of schoolies and blues on 4" shad color and 3 keepers up to 34", got to get some more for spring :)

InshoreAngler 11-27-2003 02:37 PM

wow hubco, nice fish! which storm shad that caught on?

Diamondwrapper 11-27-2003 02:52 PM

The slower I fished them the better they worked.;)

hubco 11-27-2003 02:54 PM

4" peanut bunker.......bouncing on the bottom

InshoreAngler 11-27-2003 03:05 PM

ooo.....i can never find the 4" in bunker....anyone know where you can get them?

Don M 11-27-2003 03:17 PM

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.

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.

Mr. Sandman 11-28-2003 02:58 PM

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.
