Thank You for providing a "legitimate theory" Flap.
Now go find where you put your medicine.

I gave up the meds that might be the problem. Going clean and sober is tough.

You did? I saw a picture of you somewhere and you look leaner and healthier.

C&S: I had to awhile back but they keep giving more meds now.

Referring to surf fishing, ./// Are you sure chunked bait is the way to go?

For the most part, you lose some things while bait fishing.....2 things that go hand in hand, Distance + you'll definately be covering less water, not that you always need distance, but depending on where you're fishing, it could mean the difference between catching something or nothing at all, nevermind a 50. Not to mention, crabs won't normally pull your plug under a rock , skates and dogfish prefer bait over plastics 2 to 1 according to the last census,..// etc// ...you can fan while baitfishing, but it won't last as long with the continuous casting, the eel being the exception - but you'll still lose distance with eels. How many casts can you make and how much water can you cover with a plug versus 1 cast and turtle retrieving an eel???

Think about it.

I still think BAIT, alive or fresh would be my answer.

I will say that if there is a 50 in front of you....that is half the battle. Getting it to take your offering is the other half and at that point you have a better than even chance of getting it to take either offering! My 50, if I ever get one will be on a plug!

all pretty much agreed "live bait"wins the take large catergory .. That being said ,, taking large on a plug would be more of an achievement .. again if all agree using "live bait" the chances are better of taking large .. No ???

[BigFish]

I agree that 8 out of 10 times a fifty will come on "Livies"!

Just found this Thread!

My contribution to this Thread/ question, was just now written (silly enough) on P. # 4 of that "Why haven't you landed a 50 yet?" Thread!
