Sight Fishing with the Slug-Go
IMHO there is nothing better than watching fish attack a bait, especially if that bait is an artificial. With mostly schoolies up here on the north shore I set out with my favorite daytime lure- the white slug-go! Usually fish it ala McKenna- very eratic and rather fast along and just below the surface. I was standing above a good drop-off of about 20 ft and at the end of my retrieve I let it sink all the way to the bottom. Crystal clear water and polarized glasses allowed me to watch as bass after bass came in to take a look at this slab-o-rubber, just undulating in the current. Every time I let it sink low bass would inspect and often swipe at it. Caught a few with very little pizzazz and very little movement. Same thing today off a bridge with moving water, let it sink near the edge and schools of bass appeared. Not sure what is so appealing about the slug-go but it is far more versatile than I ever thought...
