As you guys already heard that I went to Popponsett Bay with a guy whom I met from other forum. I saw a large striper chasing after my 1 oz bucktail jig and turned away from it when I paused the retrieving. And then I tried using a 1 oz bucktail jig with a plastic femmel eel and I got a bite, but lost the plastic eel because I hooked it into the nose. So I was wondering if I did anything wrong that turns off the stripers' feed bag or something. Or did I employ the technique incorrectly?
