Cows: redux

[NarragansettBil]

I believe that they are always within striking distance of most catches. By this I mean that the "dinks" or schoolies are quick to hit and are not as wise as the cows.

For instance, I was on a local bridge roadway looking down on someone fishing from the rocks below. This guy caught about 20-30 dinks! Having a great time! But, what I saw and he did not was almost every hooked schoolie was being followed by a much much larger Fish. They just came up out of nowhere and seemed to almost escort the dinks in. And when they came to close to shore they dove back down into the deep. I watched this happen atleast a dozen times. At that time a light bulb when off and repeated the well know saying "Big Bait begets Big Fish".

There is just no other way to get past the dinks down to the Cows without getting the schoolies to hit.

Just my thoughts!!!

Tight lines to all!

Id say alot of time and a little smarts and throw in some luck.....live bait helps too....if somebody is really targeting large and does so with vigor they will be rewarded

This year I have a 10' and a 11' 9 ' All Star spinning...going with some big reels with 80# braid and 80# mono leaders... going off Cape to more rocky destinations.

Some plugs 9" and bigger and some rubber or plastic 9" up to 16"
....even 36" tubes from shore

Won`t be doing a lot of casting at 52 years old with a very bad back and some other extra health issues but I will choose my casts, locations,times , etc. etc. well.... or I will attempt to
