It's like everything else to me, "WHATEVER FLOATS YOUR BOAT" is the right way to it, whether it's politics, religion, fishing, sports, everything....

I must be getting old and grumpy because I can't take people pushing their OPINION as being the right one anymore. I am not smart enough to talk somene into changing their opinion, so I don't want to play. I'm taking my balls and I'm going home.

It comes down to personal preference really. I enjoy using just plugs...wooden ones! Its just what I enjoy!! I have fished eels....did great with them! I have done the cut bait thing....still do on occasion....just a little boring for me! I just get a kick out of fooling a fish into taking a piece of wood! I will disagree with F-18 though...catching fish is not always as easy as just ch#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g the plug in the water! If you have no clue how to work it, how to vary your retrieve speed and to use the action of the rod tip to breath life into the plug....you may catch a fish or two but you will catch alot less than someone who knows how to work a plug! Thats the part I enjoy...foolin' fish with fakes!

Addendum: F-18 knows how to work a plug.....thats my point! Go get um' Dave!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Do what makes you happy, do what challenges you, mix it up every now and then to keep yourself honest.

Some nights I like sitting in a comfortable beach chair w/beer in hand after I have cast my bait upon the waters. I like sitting back and looking up at my rod tips, beer in hand, and at the moon at the same time. This type of fishing generally goes well or even better when I am with my brother, because we say the stoopidist god damn things to each other and get a laugh out of it.

Most other times I throw just about anything that I think will catch a fish. More often than not what I am heaving forth into the briny blue is made of wood.

But lets not forget, I go both ways. I flyfish also.........

I fish this way because it floats my boat.
