Good Question Adam,
With water and weather conditions the way they are here the standard Eastcoast stuff just can't handle the conditions unless you get flat water or as you would call back east Just fishable!
What is like the eastcoast is when the first fish arrive they will not be intuned to surface plugs but go for amall bucktails like candy. For me the wood fiend its a wait and hope game. But if I time it right as the fish for some reason want surface my numbers explode, while the lead throwers can't figure where the fish are. I have had some outstanding pencil popper action including an 18 fish day. Yes I did say day as in light fellows. Last week the striped junkies have even started on the pikies which means this is the second phase of the migration as these fishes size jump from 3 to 8 pound fish to 10 to 20 pound fish. Right now we have a huge storm swell but and rain but if you understand weather direction you can find fishable spots. Today I hooked two but lost them both in a small corner where most guys would walk right by.
I am carring needles and darters for when conditios fit thier use. The one major change I see in the leadhead gang is they are finally seeing that swim baits work. assains wildeyes and other plastics are showing up. Now its up to these newage guys to have enough faith in them to keep throwing them.
I'll keep you guys informed and keep checking in. TL and I are keeping the spot namers busy on the other board I frequent and I really don't like talking to those guys that have recently joined the site. As I told Slip this is my happy sight like the old mom an pop bait shop. Hey Adam, You interested in bunking with me and Throwing Timber and Jigman in RI? We have the beach house next to Bernzy.
