Stomach contents of a 17# fish
Wife was bugging me to bring home a fresh eating-size fish . Last night I picked up couple and brought one home. The belly was pretty distended and after filleting it I took a look see....
2 lobsters and 30 baby scup about 2" long. (and it tried to eat a 9" Bernzy flaptail howdy as well)

One of you plug makers should make a "lobster Plug". I can't tell you how many of these I find in bass. I think it would work and I would love to be a field tester  They make lobster flies but I need a 3oz plug that looks like a lobster running for its life. |

Black superstrike darter, but retreive it with a jerk here and there. Works for me when lobsters are present. I actually have thought of modifying one this winter to make it a little more realistic .... |

I have to admit I've thought about it more than once.

black jig with black/orange uncle josh porker seems like a good choice to imitate a lobster.I know that color scheme works well for swimming plugs but it doesn't seem like it would have the action you would want. |

Jim,
Rec season for scup is closed - better not get caught with those 30 undersized scup

i once bought a lobster jig. it was 4 o/z jig imbeaded in a 5'' rubber molded
lobster, the body was 5 in with the claws dagleing about7 oveall. line attached middle of the curled tail and hook was in middle of the claws. i caught a lot of fish on it til it got hungup one day and i lost it.
i got it inland at the army navy in brattlebourough vt. i have never seen another one like it and it was the only one they had.
seems though some of you rubber makers could produce one. it looked exactly like a real lobster. sure wish i could find one like it

Sometime this fall Ill ask the sporting goods guys if they have a clue who their supplier was, couple of them have been there 20-30 years so you never know. |

Rob, lure was called the Clobster, salesman remembers the distributor but doesnt think hes seen it in the catalog in recent years but hes going to check when he gets a chance since the store was busy when I flew thru on sat, also says it appeared hand packaged as in a small/garage operation. May well be the same lure mentioned above by Petri. |

The thought actually crossed my mind, when I open it up and saw the contents, I said, "great, now I possess 2 undersize lobsters and 30 undersize scup (at $150/fish)." With my luck the constable will drive down my street just as I push them into the trashbag.  |
