how can you catch blues and bass on the same rig?
 

I have been getting my line bit to pieces by blues, I keep loosing hooks and its annoying to keep tying them on again and again 7 times an hour. Im going after stripers so i can't put a metal leader on, is there any way i can preserve my line and hooks while catching blues and stripers?

2' of 60 lb seaguar fluro as a bite guard.

or 5' - 6' if you fish the surf.

use seaworms for bait the blues dont like seaworms

Thanks, where can i find this stuff and is it expensive? becuase i dont have much of a buget.

I guess if i can find some ill use 3', since im going off of a dock loaded with herring and baitfish, its better than having a boat!

Will the flouro be much more bite resistant than mono? I've had blues cut 60# Ande mono leader...

I find you can get 5-8 small blues and 2-3 BIG blues before you have to retie to remove the chafed areas..... you can see it easy nuff to keep an eye on it...

Best bang for the money!!!

I am gonna have to try the fluro. I got into way too many blues last night..Every other blue was snappin 50# mono...They were everywhere. I did get a handfull of schoolies, and 2 keepahs slingin eels...But I lost my new plug on the 2nd cast..dam blues:af:

where were you fishing, becuase my favorite place to fish is the back river in weymouth/hingham- I live on that river during the weekends and whenever i can go out.

Canal Rat, If blues don't like seaworms then how come they eat one on the back of a tube'n worm? Just curious is it the stink?

thats beacause the tube is moving the blue is going after the tube it does not care about the worm blues will bite anything but when bottom fishing blues ignore worms and clams

I live right off Kings Cove, on the seawall on Fore River Ave..I love the Back River, and fish it often as well...I also fish the cove, at the Fore River Bridge, and the Gut alot...R U a boat man ?

well, i have a boat but i spend most of my time on the docks at the back river. i find it more convinent to be able to go around catch herring and fish at the same time. its not necessary to have a boat in the back river becuase at the docks ur in it.

lived in Hingham/Weymouth my whole life, but I can't picture the "docks" for the life of me. They must be down a ways past Bare Cove... Tightlines....

ill p.s. it to you once i can figure out how to use it.
