Coded message

Uncoded
Dont listen to this yahoo
stay far away from him at all costs
The only reason he likes smack-It's is because the name sounds cool
He lies alot
He probably has never caught a fish in his life.

Just kidding Greg

IFG · 03-16-2003, 05:34 PM

Buck tails of many kinds are good to have on any trip
THe most useful are those with a red and white head they are used all over the world and standard issue in the US Navy's survival kits. The bigger the jig the bigger the fish. large bucktails
are great when fishing the canal they are a sure fire way to bag a striper(lest thou useith plugs like true gentlemen and fishermen

) Now get a variety of sizes and shapes but I generaly use white and redhead some guys like black I dont.
Storm swimers are great Pogy and White colored but tend to be very oily so I dose'em in Bunker oil. Parachutte jigs are another poppular jig in the canal they are basicaly a bucktail head with a fiber tail that is very big and pluffy creating a great swim affect. Crippeld Herrings are probably the most popular and productive in the canal and anywhere for that matter.
THINK BIG

I'll be at the MSBA show this weekend, not all the good stuff was picked up this weekend at the Worcester show and I'm hoping to do some pouring this week; if my damn restocking order ever gets here. You and I will be fishing together soon

, figure another month should be just about right.

schoolie monster · 03-17-2003, 11:55 AM

Whoa Manic, take it easy, I realize we're all gettin' testy with cabin fever, but I think you got some good answers there.

for schoolies to keeper size...

6 1/2" smoke/clear ledgerunner jerkbaits
5 1/2" smoke/clear ledgerunner split tail
pearl cocahoe shads on 3/8 to 1/2 oz. leadhead
blue/white atom striper swiper
chrome gag's grabber
bagley's floating finger mullet (blk/silver or red/white)... lipless crankbait
zara spook red/white

I use Fisherwoman's teasers on the shads and poppers and simple
red/white works great, though I really like her blueback herring pattern. Teasers interfere with the action of the jerkbaits and "walk the dog" style cranks and also seem to deaden the "feel" of them, so I don't use them.

for larger bass at night...

Eels
pencil popper (black) with black teaser

but that's kinda pointless since I really only use eels... if I was going to throw a plug, I would use the pencil popper (really slow). I'm just not a big plug- guy.

I would listen some of the other guys who are plug crazies (see Slipknot, JHabs) and know about a million times more about pluggin' than I do.

I'm going to try some of GS' 9" jerkbaits and 7" split tails at night this year to see how they do. Weightless up top...

IFG · 03-18-2003, 06:56 PM

SLuggos: White 4" 6" and 7"
Silver and clear 6" & 7"

Pig Tails Big and White

Tubes BIg and White

12" Power WOrm black or Rootbeer

Bass-pro floating popper mouth worm white

Steve K · 03-19-2003, 09:20 AM

I agree with the use of jigs. I also like:

Polaris poppers - 2 3/4 oz
Danny Swimmers
Storm Wildeyes
Teasers on almost everything
Pencil Poppers

I am planning of using more eel skin plugs and jigs this year.
