Couple of my skinny dannys, one of my spooks, a bunch of 8" ronz jigs, and a couple 9" tsunami shads. Bad spool of braid accounted for a 2 of the 3 plugs.

One of my skin plugs, a Tattoo diving swimmer and a SS Zig Zag darter. Same night, fairly deep water, good current and a ton of blues along with the bass dining on the feast.

there is a nasty double set of reefs, at my biggest producer,
between the island and the promentory i cast from.
great cover for ambush positioning, not so great for anything that swims deep;
and i DOOO use eeeeels there ~~OFTEN and very successfully

that's where i lose most of my needles,
and you guys are right ~~i'm working them way
too low for when it's shallow. don't mind loosing good wood, as the RI
builders will keep making more and one night, I KNOW, i'll land sumthin'
on some of that fine AYC that swims so sweet

anybody else have a slow learning curve before figuring out the "needles retrieve"??
i always thought that John's mantra was "....if you're not bored, you are fishing them waaaay too fast!", no?
had been working the top and middle that night and was going for low and slow to see what could be raised ~~ NOTHING!! it's still early up Cape Ann's way, at least that's what i'm hoping!!!

thanks for your good suggestions and tips, gents!
Greatly appreciated! should've known to go with
the cheaper stuff until i get the depth thing dialed in

"The first condition of happiness is that the connection
between man and nature shall not be broken."~~ Leo Tolstoy

Tight Lines, and
Happy Hunting to ALL!

I was using a Hab's canal pencil popper and broke it off on a cast. Them plugs do fly. Well I walked the beach looking and found a gibbs popper, a bunker snag rig, and after only 20 minutes I found the Hab's. So I guess I'm up for the season.
