Which Artificial Do You Start Off With

a sinking needle is a great search tool- when i scout around at the beginning of a night looking for fish i always try to cover all levels of the water column- once i find fish, i switch over to something that may be more appropriate- usually my eels.. if the fish are deep and its windy the needle stays on.

When fishing rocky areas with current I will ussually first pull out either a darter or needle. Fishing inlets or other outflows, Bucktail is ussually the first thing I clip on. When fishing the backbays, alot depends on what bait has been present , but ussually I will stick with bombers, needles, and small bucktails. During first light I will ussually throw either pencils or bucktails.

in almost every area i fish, the first lure i tie on is a 5" Tsunami Swim Shad.

[striperking70]

dawn/dusk/day= yellow bomber, black label swimmer
night off/in the rocks= black bomber, needlefish

Mostly the Tsunami or Storm Wildeye shads to test out the waters.
