The 4" anchovy is a definite xmas stock-up. Just have to find someone who sells them!!
This month I was at CGH and a gentleman was hitting them time and again from the wall. They were cookie-cutter smalls, but they were the only ones around. The rest of us just couldn't convince the fish to co-operate (well, I did have one who was kind enough to be interested in a small pearl shad and stopped me from being skunked!). He was kind enough to show us what he was using, and kinder to let me use one of the 4" anchovies..... next thing I know we're hitting them side-by side every couple of casts. I know that this may not happen again, but I would prefer to have a couple in my bag just in case.....
Another fisherman tried everything in his bag, cocohoes included. When the first guy left, he gave the him another of the anchovies. The tide had turned, and the bite slowed down. He fished for another half hour until a fish finally hit, played it to the wall, lifted the line to pull the fish up.........only to have the line break, thus losing the only fish to have said hello to him, and the only lure that they were interested in....
He took it in good heart!
