How stubborn are you (technique-wise)?

I will say this that its never easy to land or hook a good fish. It all takes knowledge. However this board IMO is definatly skewed towards the plug crowd .Its like a republican in a room full of democrats!! From the top brass on down this board is definatly a Plug fishing forum more than anything else with all the promotions,advertisements, plug fests etc...its all plug stuff, because all other methods that include some form of bait are laughed at or called not sporting. Its Bull%$%$%$%$....

It should be called "Striped-Bass-plugs.Com" If anyone comes here seeking advice on fishing live bait they will most certainly be met with hostility bordering that of the stupid "spot burning" stuff. So thats why I say around here you either plug or you "cheat" "dont play fair" and "have it to easy".

I see a Plug builders forum but I certainly dont see a live bait forum...Think it or not...There are tactics in that type of fishing also.......
have a good winter......

I hardly ever fish plugs and my go to bait is fresh sand eels. If it ain't fresh, i don't want it. Yet I never feel alienated by the die hard plug fisherman. I know there is a time for both and the way I fish, plugs are a 1 in 10 occasion.

So lets have a bait forum and you can tell us all how you yo-yo... I just think that with bait, people have more secrets that they might not want shared with anyone who has a computer. I love S-B for what it is

There is more to it than meets the eye, but that crowd is much less willing to share tactics than the plug crowd, many of the best dont even own a PC.Look all I am saying is that I know first hand that there is far more to fishing live or dead bait than meets the eye, far more.

Clammer and I were fishing right next to the best fisherman (to me anyways) in the world for Striped bass, close enough that I had to keep pushing off his boat while we were fishing and clammer and him were chatting, we had Live pogies in a sea full of bass, This particular guy outfished us that morning 100 to one with dead pogies.Its a lesson I learned from. We all learn always! That was a lesson I was happy to learn! You figure out the rest.
