In some places where the water is a little rougher I have a hard time feeling the sluggo? Like it gets washed out in the close by heavy surf/whitewater. Should I add a rubber core sinker, or some kind of extra weight or should I switch to heavy plugs, kastmasters...ect...?

Has anyone had any luck in the breachways w/ sluggos? leadheads?

"Last week I was fishing with tins and hooking up cast after cast. They were all a little under and just barely keeper size fish caught in the upperbay..they were all hanging around on the top of the water column eating small pogies and shiners or something.."

No need to stop using tins because it gets dark. They DO work well at night too!The same fish you were imitating in the daylight are there at night . Try a teaser with them too at night.

This may be going against the grain of things..but I have found just slicing the bodies up the middle not all the way through, tying your rigs up seperatly and zapping the whole thing together infinitly easier... and best yet no hook slippage.
