Thumbs down

I went to the West Wall tonight. Conditions were real nice - SSW, high tide, ducks eating bait. But no bass. Tomorrows weather could change things for the better.

fish here yet?

I fished the shoreline near the Amelia Earhardt Dam in Everett on Sunday morning and caught over a dozen stripers ranging from 20 to 28 1/2 inches. The must be chasing the alewife that run up the Mystic River. I caught them on a variety of plastics.

Scotch - what time did you get down there? I was down for a couple hours, wind was SSE, fairly flat water, and little gannets chasing some stuff - not a bump but I did hear then see one big splash followed by a smaller one and no birds came up after 15 minutes of looking... Left shortly after 5pm.

Joe - good to meet you finally!

Glow is my favorite color also. I have only caught one keeper on a cocahoe, mostly some nice schoolies. Have you guys had luck landing keepers using cocahoes?

Now that you guys are talking about the sleek, slender, most subtle lines of the cocahoe minnow. Damn I am getting excited.

IMHO the best spring time plastic, no offense GS (Ilike your stuff a lot)

I caught SB up to 38 inches and around 18-20 pounds on the Queens...have seen the Kings on spreader bars trollup a 40 incher or so

I have 17 of the 133 colors and there arfe some schweeet ones.

John, they actually sell them in a package 1 rigged spinnerbait style with a spare body.

I have a sneeky feeling that at next years MSBa Show there will be a cocahoe booth...once the conflict of interest is gone

Not that I have the only direct account in new england or anything like that.

basic patrick maybe that is my problem. I usually always use the 4" minnows. This season I will try the Queen's and see if I have better luck.
