ONE LAST CAST
((Clarification)) Best Thread Today...so far.
Lets just say that you bet one cast against life or death. You have to catch a striped bass over 20lbs. If you hook up, and land it, you live. If you catch nothing, you die. ONE CAST.
Where would you take that one cast? What lure/bait be on the end of your line? What would the weather be like? What month would it be?
Would you bet it all against a single retrieve of a lure, or would you let a chunk soak for maximum exposure?
What would you do?

After paying someone to chum a rocky point for several tides, my one cast would be a whole bunker.  |

Raider, I immediately tried to change the title after I posted, but apparently you can't. I was bored at work and decided to start this, but I really wish I called it somthing different.
Oh well.  |

I would soak a chunk on a naked beach at a Hugh Hephner party. If I didn't catch a striper at least I would go out with a bang!

I'd jump off the Sagamore Bridge and save everyone the trouble of killing me.  |

Same place we fished eels together a few weeks ago. Same tide. On or about May 15th with a 9" tsunami... |
It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

I told you I use the tsunami's when you where a rattle fan..
I was gonna say next to you throwin eels in oct.. 
I have a jig thing believe it or not I prefer over the Pencil thing.I can pretty much pick out on a tide chart when and where I will get another good fish next yr.I have done it 4 years in a row..While it usually takes a few cast's.A few years ago I did it on one cast..  |
FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..

if you had a gun to my head for
one single cast and you were gonna
pull the trigger, if i didn't brang a keeper or bigger
on the retrieve,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,then i'd have to go with;
Sept's New
2-4 foot rollers
certain UDL on Cape Ann
'bout 3 hours before dead Low
pissing, abit, ~with no fire water~
after chumming for an hour or so prior
to tossing the head half of a fresh pogie
chunker style,,,,,,,,loaded with a snelled 8/0
Gamakatt right between these two VW sized boulders
at the base of this trough that dumps several gallons of surf
with each wave into what should be my life-saving spot to CAST to.
then simply wait for the Big Gurls to hit IT!!
give her her BOW, let her ruuuuuun; then put
her at yer feet. and if i do, do i get to snuff YOU??
