1st cast
1st cast to fresh fish not twinks(holy crap small), but schoolies(20"+ but getting bigger 30"+). what are you gunna send out there? and with what?
me,
ideally i want to be throwin a popper, wonderbread, with some blue on the top like 1.5-2oz on my batson 1088 with an abu of some sort (esp if there on top= YAY!!). but im guessing if i want to catch anything im gunna tie on a smoke ledge runner jerk on a jighead.

First cast would probably be somewhere out on the south shore on a warm spring afternoon after a few days of mild weather!
At the end of the line would probably be one of the following!

Sping is fly time for me, not fly fishing, but using what I now call the "Matunuck Special". Casting with a fly on a wooden egg rig.
I know most of you prefer plugs, but I have never been fishing with this rig and been outfished by someone fishing a plug, ever!
This rig works year round but seems to do best in the spring.

DadF, you use a wooden egg from a craft shop. They're roughly a little larger than a chicken egg. Drill a hole down the center and paint it. Thread the hole with about 8 inches of 50lb mono leader. Tie barrell swivels on both ends of the leader. This is for the weight to cast the fly. Tie one barrel to your line to your rod, on the other end tie about 18 to 24 inches of leader with the fly at the end. There are some variations of this, some folks put screw eyes in the egg. With the leader through the egg, it allows you to feel the hit without the fish feeling the weight of the egg.
You can cast pretty good distance with this, you work the fly with a twitch like bouncing a jig. I also use this with small jigs instead of a fly in rocky areas, its works very well. .
My Dad used this rig for years and swears the only thing he caught more bass on was a live eel. He has caught more stripers than anyone I have met.

Thats pretty slick. Kinda of like a slip-sinker rig only for top water. I'm assuming the swivels are bigger than the hole to keep the egg in one place? I'm going to have to give this a try. I know a few good rocky areas off of Gloucester where this would work extremely well.
Thank you for the info

Yup, the swivels are larger than the hole.
This really works well with jigs too, it keeps them off the bottom in rock areas.

Joey T. I use a 7/0 gamakatsu octopus hook for livelining, works great. Keep the run to a minimum and 99% of fish are hooked in corner of jaw.

Just so I'm clear, the egg not only keeps the fly or herring off the bottom, but you use it versus cork to increase your casting distance?

THe egg serves 3 purposes..
1- to give weight to cast far when needed.
2- it keeps what ever you are using as a lure from sinking to the bottom on a slow retrieve.
3- it helps you see where lure is when you are retrieving it.
if you make one make sure you rig it with the fat end of the egg facing the lure... it will cast better.
