I sure hope you don't depend on that watch for precise time,,,,,:humpty:

From the boat it was either a sluggo or wire line jigging with a white smiling bill and a red trailer. From shore - maybe sluggo or a guppy pencil in parrot. Fairly boring response but they get the job done.

Depending on where I was fishing....my Canal Pencil was a champion in the Ditch! On the beaches the "Prey" Swimmer and 3 oz. Danny were bass magnets!:kewl:

The Dad Fisherman 11-03-2008 09:05 PM

Early season a Salty danny in Olive....late season one of my Canal pencils.

But either way there were not a lot of fish caught by Moi this season

TSPS 11-03-2008 09:23 PM

BeachMaster Danny was my best lure this year.

Bomber Long A Magnum's have always been very good to me. :)

BatesBCheatin 11-03-2008 11:19 PM

Used the SS Darter more than ever before and it did the job at night. Fish always seemed to want it.

Daytime was good for the Afterhours Senior.

ilovetwofish 11-04-2008 05:24 AM

Mostly pencil poppers and rubber.

jimmy z 11-04-2008 05:44 AM

A pencil, at daybreak, was the best producer for me this year.:kewl:

Slingah 11-04-2008 06:33 AM

BigFish Larry's bigger pencil & canal pencils did the most numbers and produced the largest ....beat out the bomber this year

IMO it is the best schoolie lure there is. I have also caught some bigger fish on them but not many.

steve 11-04-2008 07:35 AM

rwilhelm, The cocahoe is THE best I've ever used for schoolies. I hear it works on bigger fish and that the queen size is good also. The 3" pearl is something else though! It is the only thing I use in the spring.

Clogston29 11-04-2008 07:45 AM

qnty : blurple a-salt

qlty: black / gold bigwater jointed diver

Yellow SS darter had most of my keepers.

steve 11-04-2008 07:52 AM

K-E-V-I-N- That wild color on the Tattoo - Someone gave me a small surface swimmer in that color and I laughed at it as I put it in my bag. About two weeks later I was fishing and catching pretty good when I tried to find something in my bag that they wouldn"T HIT. Well I put on this tattoo danny with the wild color combo and continued to hawk the fish until the hooks were mangled. I went home , changed the hooks and have been catching fish on it all season. One night I had a 28 pounder on it right at dark before switching to eels.

kensac 11-04-2008 07:59 AM

Crippled Herring and Sluggo's in the "Ditch"

Yup pearl is my favorite color too. About 8 years ago I was fishing Middlebridge and not catching anything. An old timer came up to me as I was leaving and handed me a cocahoe. He said try these next time you go. Well sure enough I did and I caught fish after fish. Really nice guy named Ernie, he was the one that introduced the cocahoe to south county. I think he is still fishing, I believe I saw him in Sept fishing the wall in gansett.
