i do well with bombers when the peanuts are around. not a huge plug but definitely much bigger than a baby pogie...

I can't believe nobody's jumped on this one -- I like big baits and I cannot lie...

Anyhow, if your bait is huge, it will limit your catch by what can be fit in its mouth. The predator will be attracted to whatever prey is tastiest/easier to catch. I don't know how fish do the complex math in their heads, but I think it's something like 2yummy + 3crippled X 5bleeding +2size. I do know that I've caught schoolies on large baits and keepers plus on some little stuff. Until I get inside a fish's mind, I'm going to bring a whole bunch of lures and bait and throw it all until something works.

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

Capesams has a fifty on one sandeel.
I have seen a 28 inch bass scaled by a monster bass.My brother had a monster bass at the boat on a 10 lb bluefish he was fighting.
I think in nature when something goes nutty strange things happen.often excitement draws predators that are mostly docile into the fracass. Bass an sharks will swim in the same waters. hook the bass an he becomes shark bait.
