big old bass get that way by not being caught or getting caught and released(which is very likely),think about it a 50lb striper is around 18 years old this old lady has seen everything from rigged eels to danny plugs.but in a sense when your fishing with bait your not tricking the bass into striking like with a plug,you are feeding the bass with a chunk of mackeral or a live pogy or eel which they will take down in a heart beat.

You should ask stiff tip about the 50 plus lb. fish in the canal that ate his plug many years ago.

Or, you could ask Al McReynolds, Tony Stetzko, or Charlie Cinto, all of whom took 70#+ fish on lures (Stetzko's even hit a teaser fly instead of the live eel that was on the same leader), or Tim Coleman and Iron Mike who have multiple 60s on wood. |

Frank Daignault, 7 stripers over fifty on plugs or rigged eels, and countless amount of 40 pounders. It doesn't take any skill to use bait it's all luck. Tony C. last year caught a 62.5 on a Habs Jointed Neddle

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

that is totally awesome, I think if that worked it may prove that stripers feed more based on sight and/or instinct than smell....
hmmmm...

One thing that we do not Need in the Fishing Game at this time .....Talking about a few guys using nets to catch fish.....I'm sure that the fishing community at the time did not recognize these men as Legend's and especially not future legends............ The close knit family of Striped Bass fishing as a whole know's who earned there status and I am sure we all agree on that . Are you saying that these two men became legends without using a rod and reel ????? And were never seen by anyone during the daylight hours ???? As far as someone becoming a legend because he fishes twenty four hours a day... I don"t think so....If a hundred anglers fished twenty four hours a day all season long, You would still have only one or two that would attain respect by the rest... I know a couple of past and present respected angler's that there family life was batting a thousand and there children went on to make great careers for themselve's, Aided by both parents guidance... As a whole our sport is healthy and I do not think that we need to post negative things that can hurt us................

Over the Last Several Years HAB'S NEEDLEFISH Have Caught More "Confirmed" 30, 40, 50, and even 60 pound Striped Bass than any other Wooden Needlefish on the Market today. 2 Over 50lbs. and 1 Over 60lbs. in 2005 alone........... "HOOK UP WITH HAB'S" Your Best Bet For BIG BASS.....

What is their secret?
It's simple. They have put in their time. Most have probably fished since they could walk. Some have walked away from careers and family to fish. Others just bring their family along for the ride and schedule some kind of career around their fishing. Either way, it's like anything else in life, you can only expect to gain based on what you've invested.

learning the spots
I meet a guy at work about 15 years ago. We became good friends and started fishing together. At that time I was catching fish, but nothing like what this guy would catch. He began teaching me his spots. One spot off Falmouth is so particular that you have to approach the spot perfectly. Your line needs to be down ~45 feet. He had it worked out that you need 100 yds steel line with a 10 foot 80lb mono leader. The detail was incredible. It took him years to perfect this, but that spot with that technique works every year. The bottom line is that some guys put in a lot of time perfecting technique and spots to fish.
That's what pisses me off about On the Water. They give away spots that have been favorites to a handful of folks for years. It's unfortunate that sometimes the only way you ever get to really catch fish is to meet the right person.
