a red cedar howdy style spook in yellow over white caught not the largest but the most.

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!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

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

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.

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

Be encouraging, not discouraging

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

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.

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.

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.
