ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

ok I was fishing off a dock and there were no joke 100 stripers. I was using clams and small poppers. the bass would not take anything. they were only eating these long red bugs. what should i do to catch them? can anyone tell me what these bug things are?

a long red lure would be my guess

ya I need to find one. It think what happened was called a worm hatch?
I bet a fly would be good

Were the long red "bugs" wormlike in appearance?

yes

oh that was a disgruntled ahhhhhhhhhhhh not a just cracked open a can o suds and took my first sip on a hot day ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

how about a net? :)

they are that close that would actually work, do you no what these fly things are.

throw out a small fin-s or sluggo, like 3-4 inches.

sounds like a worm hatch...use little red rubber worms...they actually sell some that comes in a jar...deadly for the hatch...

Got to small, unweighted pink plastic worms / jigs / flies - still not guaranteed to catch though ;) fish can be pretty stubborn on a hatch but the fishing can be pretty good too

use a french fry

Get some red berkely power worms in red and then take a sharpie and blacken the head...then cast it out there on a casting egg

French fries work on me. I always get fooled by ones that have a little ketchup on them.
