3) spook- when bluefish eat your eels and you want to get even
4) subsurface (atom jr, bomber type)- when you don't have time to buy eels
5) surface redfin type- when you are wasting time on schoolies waiting to fish eels after dark
6) needle- when your eels aren't working, there are no bunker to be had, so you go chase breaking tuna instead

Your most informative post in a long time, perhaps ever. Even an old salty dog can learn new tricks.

Admittedly, the bulk of my large fish have come on plugs this year. I guess I'm just misunderstood, meaning I'll employ whatever works best for the big ones at a given time. Most of the time its elvers though....

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
