Notice no said darters, bucktails - don't bother. Everything mentioned was topwater. If the girlfriend doesn't fish, she might be bored. Good luck.

I am not sure if I would go without a darter....biggest fish on plugs that we had two weeks ago (both in 20's) were on SS white darters. Biggest fish on eel skin plugs I had was ....5lb. I cant make this stuff up if I wanted. I'll agree on the bucktail but only because I never fished there on a hard sw blow. Then again ,from what I been told ,hard sw is not very productive. If you looking for a big fish leave plugs in the club and take eels. Chances are this time of the year you'll have light winds at night and by using live eels it will force you to do nothing else. I can honestly tell you I am never ,ever going there without a wetsuit and rigged eels.
Danny's are good but overrated ,slug go and needlefish much better choice. If I was with da wife I wouldn't even bother ,before she is a sleep

Right on Zeno. I would never ever fish Cutty in waders again!

Probably also worth mentioning that at least one 60lb fish on Cutty was taken on a needle (or so I understand). Didn't it supposedly come from the barges? That's pretty shallow and distance is a factor. I wonder if an eel (even with a wetsuit) would have taken that fish.
