Like slugo's or jigs knowing how to get your offereing to the bottem where they're at makes all the difference. If your furtunate to live near a rocky stretchs with ideal eelin conditions I think you'll out fish some cape guys who are throwin plugs mid summer. The way I see it is there's all types of different fisherman here, if you fish with same guys its going to take you a lot longer to get better bass #'s. If you can fish with one guy who shows you one thing you could have been fishin the rest of your life not knowing it. I agree there's tricks to everything under the right conditions, but IMo doesn't it break down to where you fish? The fish have to be there plain and simple. Isn't this why we often go through great measures to preserve what we worked for.

yes the fish have to be there and one way to find out is with a live eel. Eels work every single place a striper swims. I have had the same results on the cape as I have had in rhode island.The other way to know is by learning how to read water and structure and how bass relate to it, structure is structure weather it be a sand bar or trough or drop off on one of the cape beaches or if its a boulder strew shoreline in rhody, the difference being that on the cape you have constantly changing structure, one day there is a hole the next the sand fillis it in, in rhody what you see is what you get , boulders do not move.In that regard rhody has an advantage.The old days of daignault and the plug are gone, there isnt that much bait anymore.
I emphisize it so much becasue I am amazed at the people who just wont use it or try it and then complain at there lack of success. I am not stupid, if bass are crushing live bait in front of me I will toss on a plug but the reality is it doesnt happen aften. Its not that its just that its is smart! and isnt cacthing fish what one wants to do? It only makes sense to me to use what works...That in my opinion is not an "easy" fisherman but rather a "smart" fisherman......
I have nothing against other methods, if you want to toss a danny swimmer in rhode island in july and august your going to get exercise and thats it........
If a trohy bass is something you want, toss an eel...........
I gave you guys some real good tips here, hopefully you will try them, this may be your last year to do so....
