Stick to what you like...plugging, and work at it. I love the top-water bite also and will pass on fishing chunks even when others are catching with it! Not fun in my opinion....just find it boring. You can't beat working a plug across the water and having it swallowed up in a violent, splashing attack! That is my idea of fun! I like to run and gun not stand around waiting for my rod to bend! Keep changing your plug selection from time to time and vary your retrieve speed and method to find "how the fish like it"!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

part of my problem is i feel like everytime i see a bait store i need to stop in and see what they have for plugs, and given the money every time i saw a new one i would buy it. granted i dont have many compared to some of the pics i've seen on here but i feel like i always need to get a new plug to see if it works better than the ones i have now.  |

You could try to figure out what's around for little guys -- mackeral, herring, mullet, whatever stripers would be eating -- and try to match what's in the water at the time. The stripers will spy your "injured" little "fish" and be on it like spandex on Prince.

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.

If you know the fish are there and they're not hitting your topwater plugs you gotta mix it up a little. If they are chunking they are getting em on the bottom, you gotta try and get down there too. Try some strom shads, or fin -s fish on little ball jigs, maybe some sluggos with small lead heads.
One other thing you can try is using a teaser up in front of your plug, I have been using them 2 1/2 - 3 feet in front of the plug and doing very well with them. I had one day pluggin this year during which I caught a LOT of fish and every one of em was on the teaser.

It really depends on the bait that is on hand, plugging is tough in the summer and to me better in the fall. I hate to hop on it but I would really consider using eels, its alot like plugging and the best of both worlds.
If I had to plug? I would not hesitate to use a 9 inch black slug-go, they work fantastic...
