Fact is EEL'S work but THERE are those times when them plugs just WORK Also, Can you Cast a Sluggo or a EEL 100 YARDS or More because sometimes you need to..............You can fish the HABS in shallow water, Cast out reel in fast till line is tight then with rod held at 11 O' clock reel so slow you are bored Plug will stay on or just below surface, I never lose them in the shallows doing that...................Give it a try or do What Works for You. Go get em

This thread was never meant as a debate of eels vs plugs. It was started as a question of what you use on the island in the fall as opposed to other times of the year. It is a matter of personal opinion, and should not be a source of argument. Sure we all have preferences of what works where/when based on our personal experiences and what we are confident in, but nothing is written in stone. I think some of us, myslef included at times, need to realize that none of our words are gospel. Every aspect of surf fishing from plugging to eeling to chunking comes with different levels of skill. The basic idea of each type of fishing is easy and basic, but the nuances of each is what separates the average fishermen from the consistantly successful ones. If you limit yourself to only one method of fishing, you are possibly losing out on some memorable experiences and catches. If there was one single way to to catch large every time, there would not be so many options available to us in the surf and the challenge many of us hold so dear would not exist.
