What is...........

Wading or taking the kayak and fishing the breachways & channels running through the salt ponds has to be my favorite. Working a 7.5” Fin-S or shad body on a lead head down into the holes has been producing nice fish all year. Also fishing the rocks and white water with slug-o’s and swimmers, probably be doing a lot more of that this fall.

1. Jigging the canal, although I think is more about my attachment to the place than the method of fishin.

2. unloaded redfins. Something special about them to me

It is awfully tempting to drift a bunker where I am. Especially since they are often to thick to swim aplug through without snaggin or to get a jig underneath. But I resist. NIce conundrum to have

Fishing plugs from a boat along a rocky shoreline with a nice drop off and a good current flow ... especially when the bait is packed into the rocks ...

live baiting pogies and seeing them do the circle of deat swim as a big bass is about to explode on it like someone dropping a bath tub in the water

I enjoy wading in moderate surf and fishing rocky bars and holes. I really like to be in the water when I fish. Like most, I enjoy the "hit" when using plugs, but there is always a voice in me that says I should be using eels if I want to get bigger fish. I get bored using eels when there is no action.

flip..... i think i,m going gay for you... my favorite sound is the sound of the cash reg. at the fish market, as i drop my catch on the concrete floor.....the thrill is in the sell not the catch....WOW

I say it everytime I'm asked; a beer, a chair, and a chunk of mackerel at the canal.

[Slingah]

it's all good.....
it is the hit and set for me.......eels, plugs, sluggos, storms.....whatever they want...I like catchin'
nite time is the right time

90% of the time it is eels the rest is plugs even thou I throw eels I would never use any other bait for stripers dosent make sense but that is the way it is plugs or eels thats it and I love them both equally.

Livelining scup/pogie is a blast. I think a pogie is proably the best bait but not as hardy to keep alive,, and come summer pogies are very hard to find. Theres nothing like feeling of vibration through braid... of a nervous fish being chased. I think the bass nails the bait to disorient it before she takes it down, you can tell evrything thats going on down there before the fish is hooked.
Another big reason I luv this style fishing is because its middle of the day, the sun is high and when that bass comes up you get to see it in its natural state still swimming and all those awsome colors. It just never gets old.

5 oz jig. 300 ft of 60lb wire. no leader.

jig by hand, and get my shoulder ripped by a good fish.

Wire is an art unto itself (and I seem to suck at surf fishing).

1)Paddling my kayak 10' (or less) from the crashing waves on my local rocky ledges and tossing my homemade Akespook into the whitewater.

Worked great this AM!

2) Standing in the surf .
