Superstitions

Went out last night and fish were at my feet chasing bait. The smell of fish in the air was incredible, it hit me 300 yards from the water. I got numerous bumps on many different plugs, but nothing would latch on.
Couple of good size fish followed my plug up to the rocks and splashed away when I lifted the plug out of the water. I should have brought a few eels, but I was a tad lazy and didn't feel like lugging a few slimy ones.

Superstitions:
1. Since I bought a new plug bag last Saturday after a successful AM trip, I have not landed a bass.
2. Every time I bring my fish carrying rope rig I get skunked.
3. I didn't bring eels when I contemplated bringing them... Bad omen for sure.
4. Braid backlash on my conventional on 1st cast

Oh well, I am going out tonight to freeze again. I will bring eels, old surf bag, no fish rope and stretch out the whole line and re-spool it.

This stuff drives me crazy. at least I did not fall last night.

Protect Striped Bass stocks; 1 fish @ 38"
The last few seasons have been great for medium to large fish. Gone are the days of catching 50 schoolies a tide. This trend has been progressively getting worse.

2 Bass at 28" is CRAZY.
These fish have not yet spawned. Give them a chance to produce some offspring.
