sluggo video
 

Nice vid Joe and Mike. How long has that been on there? :tm:

A couple of hours.....

nice. like the music too.

It will not work on my I book the stream will not play

I'm pretty sure I have a quicktime version - I'll post it soon along witht the small sized videos for dialup.

Cool video. I know that area... :devil:

Thanks Joe:happy:

shoot, I know that rock!!

If you don't know the spot already there's nothing in that video that is going to lead you there. I don't know what the tv show is going to be like - I was not involved in that.
It's looking like eels will not be legal as bait in RI - I'm not sure if the word is official yet. Sluggos are going to be good sellers if they ban eels - that's why I invested in the video.

Joe, I wasn't saying the video was bad or good for that spot in the format you presented. If I didn't know where it was shot or didn't know the angler in it or had never fished it, I wouldn't even know what state it was in. Cool video none the less!

great video.. i have bass fever now. :hs:

Did'nt mean to come on too strong Toby....I was happy that the video came out non-descript.
Glad you like it Nebe....

I have a confession.. I watch charlie moore's tv show just so i can see that awesome sluggo commercial.

I bet i am not alone :hihi:

Joe, i would make a huge order now for those sluggos. I have a hunch they will be in short supply come august/sept.

They were in short supply last August September also. There were about 5 weeks when I could not get any.
So, yup - I will buy lots of Sluggos in advance....
There is not much money in selling Sluggos though...
Eels are what bring the surfcasters into the store - they'll buy other stuff when they are there, but if you snip out eels - you'll have a significant population that will be drastically reducing their visits.
RI's eel ban and MA's herring ban is going to really hurt the baitshops and have a significant impact on established methods. It's a disruptive event.

your right. no eels will mean less visits to the B&T.

Joe, is there any way yet to buy just the Slug-go's in bulk? We all toss the stupid hooks out with the packaging. It's quite the waste.

No way to get the 9" Sluggos in bulk - nothing leaves the factory except in packages of three.

No price breaks for volume on my end either - that's how the Sluggo guy makes the big bucks.

The 9" baits with the factory packaging weigh 5.1oz, of that - only 3.6oz is the bait. There should be a more enviro-friendly way to package them for mail order places. Not only is the plastic heavy and large, it makes you have to ship the Sluggos in a big envelope or box. I plan on asking them if they would go for other packaging options.

And my wife thought I was a moron for freezing 40 eels at the end of the season :smash: :skulz:

Amen; sittin on ~3doz myself Krisp gonna do some riggin in march/april
Other than that I got a few other tricks up my sleave :D

Is the RI eel ban official? I have not heard that before. WHat if buy them in Mass and then use in RI?

The link was dead, when i tried??

No its not official, but I have a bad feeling total ban or serious linits are coming

If theres a ban on sale you can still use what you have or buy out of state with a reciept. At least thats how it worked in CT for herring

Krispy, I was told if there is a ban it would be on possesing anything to do with eels, skins etc. Not sure anyways since it hasn't gone into effect.

T19, i think your right. You could buy landlocked herring in CT and keep the reciept, that I remember. But I think theres a difference in possesion and sale, I guess the wording of the ban will be very important

BTW, just watched the video, nice stuff. Great job on that Joe, I hope it pays off! I am amazed at the action of the sluggo under the water. I used a rigged sluggo a few times this year and it worked well for .When does the show debut on OTW? I'd like to see the whole thing.

I think the show is supposed to air in January - they usually post a schedule on the OTW website.
The video is nice, but the thanks goes to Mike Laptew. I had the idea of incorporating video, but I'm not technically capable or equipped to do what he does.

Is the video link dead or my computer just wont play it? Everytime i try it says the page cannot be found.

No Chef the links are good - so it must be you.

You may be behind a firewall - check your settings. It's a windows media file so it does not work for macs.
I ran it last night and the links were good.

Nice video, got the link on your front page to play
