Plugs for Cutty in the fall

[tlapinski]

Bill, I was only listing my plugs for Cutty. Steve took 2 30's that night on the slug go, to 5 taken on plugs. I love the slug go now, but it is still lower on my list than many plugs. I am still building the confidence in it out there. It's hard for me to toss a slug go when I have taken so many good fish on other stuff there. Same deal with eels. I've taken some big fish on them out there, but I still have a soft spot in my heart for a hunk of wood and metal snaking sexily across the surface...

I'm the same way.I know sluggo's an eels catch but i like plugs so much better.
It's a long time goal of mine to prove all the eel tosser's wrong.
There's craft in both art's.
I just think u can do as well with the right presentation an the right plug.
Tough to beat that slimey creature with the heartbeat though.

Not trying to yank your chain there Tlap, Whatever it was it was, maybe they were not all 30lbs maybe 26lbs to 28lbs but either way he told me in the spot he was at he had 30 fish all good size and then was nice enoght to leave you all a note telling you where he caught them. I agree you use what your comfortable with, however that sluggo is a fish slayer....For me there is no need to switch from the rigged and live eels because they do work on occasion

tlab, Do you throw that 3 oz. Habs which is a fast sinker into shallow water ? If you do you probably have to retrieve with a high speed to have it ride high in the column but that would defeat the optimum speed which is slow, no

Sometimes I use the big boy to reach out an touch someone. With a big stick. In other words fishin the outer edge''s of rock points.not sure they actually cast much further than the 2oz. Fish it for a bit an git it in.sometimes the fish will drop out on ya and if u can't get a shot at em ur not catchin.Them smaller ones he's been makin are good for that also.

All I can say is this past spring There were plenty of fisherman on cutty and I am sure there were a few of them who new
what ere doing with plugs....I will just say this, there were more than a few of them willing to pay me good money for a snake and kicked themselves for not bringing some out there......A smart fisherman covers all bases.........

its very easy, I have a system I use with a cooler, ice dripping down on them and draining away from them etc ... I also have them on a bed of seaweed like what you get in a flat of seaworms, once at my Island bed and breakfes, they get transfered to the bathtub, and a do not disturb sign goes on the door
