I had many night like that in FI Inlet...almost to a tee
the only thing (and i threw the bag from small to large) they would touch was subsurface eel skin metal lip.
Hoever ,this spot has a wicked current which in my opinion makes the skin plugs really come into their own

Not to much of a current here.I wonder if they would leave the large number of bunker to hit a eel.I still would rather catch on a lure I will deffantely try some of these thanks again I will keep you all updated.

We have been into giant schools of Blues in Narr. Bay all week. They are on peanuts. My brother and I have been killing them on one of my plugs which is a Zarro Spook imitation in White and gray and Yellow and black. Fished slow on top walking the dog. Lures are about 3 to 4" long with a long white bucktail siwash on the back.

I love walking those spooks and have been doing very well with them in the day but at night the fish are there but not touching anything.

Try a Chicken Scratch Bomber or a small Metal lip swimmer. Fish the edges or behind the bait schools with a SLOW retrieve. Worth a shot. Also don't forget Sluggos.

Been there , done that ...... Try a teaser next time ,also small jointed lures (like pikes ) sometimes will produce in that situation and as mentioned above "rubber baits" shads and mullets .
