BM used to fish with Popper John and if I remember right killed them on big poppers at night down cape...at least the posts implied that.

Also...did`nt Zeno have a Super Strike article about great results with a sinking/swimming littleneck used at night last year in OTW or this year?

With the Fall hunger upon the bass and in a bait filled stretch the ability to take them on poppers at night is probably magnified right now..... possibly?

Good health and family

Super Strike Black/Purple, Squid, Transparent Amber at night but especially when there is an east blow on and you need to clear the break.
In Reading The Water there is a chapter by Roberto Germani about using poppers at night in Matunuck. That's a good expample of the type of place where they work very well. There is often quite a bit of whitewater, a dropoff, a hard sweep and the need clear the surf in order to avoid the plug tumbling in the wash.

doc....very very nice fish...

i have few questions about night popping...

does the color matter?? dark color??

will a pencil do the same trick at night??(since i fish pencil a lot) or must be a regular popper style lure.

rattling???? more attraction?? or doesn't matter...


thanks

I think Zeno did have an article about popper at night in OTW maybe last fall? anyways, logically, needlefish are kind of worked like poppers and they are known night-slayers, so why wouldn't a popper work in certain conditions at night? Doc proved that alright...
