If you are just catching schoolies then you might want to move out of that spot. Every plug has its time and place. Just because you can't figure that out you shouldn't bash it. I could say bait is for morons who can't fish plugs but I know it has its spot in the rotation. After reading quite a few of your posts it seems you don't really care what the thread is about, you just want to increase your total post number.

Looks like I will forget about this site again, maybe you will go away. Probably not so most likely I will.


GO YANKEES!!!! F THE PATS


Oh yeah. Went out tonight for a little over two hours. Six bass. 4 were high teens into the twenties and 2 shorts. 3 blues. ALL on a Yo-zuri Mag Darter. Thats a plastic swim bait by the way. Dumbass

If you paid a little more attention to this site, instead of flying off the handle, you would know that George (numbskull) is an intelligent, insightful individual who often writes tongue in cheek.

Suit yourself on leaving/staying.

I think George is probably a hyper-normal individual. Kindasorta the Ned Flanders of the Wire Trolling fishing world yet he allows his Alter-Ego to flourish in our little corner of the Internet. Secretly, he fishes Eels and does not consider the usability of plugs unless he's simply waiting for noontime to employ the effective live eel.

I know this because I have personally witnessed Nubskull retrieve live eels, XRay the little heathens to determine their spinal flexibility, and sort them according to this flexibility at which point he fishes them via lead core or wire line off the back of his Bayliner.

(EDIT - Sorry Tagger, after posting this I remembered you wanted to keep this topic on track - I'll give you an eel the next time I see you! )

For the record, the only reason I dump on plastic is because it works better than what I make. Makes me insecure. No doubt, however, you could become an excellent plugfisherman without ever swimming wood. Even I wouldn't think of going to the outer cape without it. Bombers (straight and jointed), Rebels, Redfins, Mambo minnows, GS Slammers, SS needle, SS darter, SS little necks (the 2.75oz in particular), Spofford needles, the whole Yozuri line, Rapala Xraps, Pili poppers, CCBC superstrikes, and Cordell BigO's all are great plugs and worth owning. Some of this new Seible (?sp) also looks intriguing.

I think the area wood has an advantage is primarily in larger plugs. Big needles (2.5-3oz), big swimmers, big jointed stuff, big bottles. You also get a much better selection of darters and needles once you include wood. When you get into chasing big fish in bad terrain, heavy tackle becomes important and heavy plugs are an advantage. Finally, there is no plastic plug of which I am aware that can match a Danny's ability to draw large bass off the bottom in deep water/good visability conditions (though pencils and spooks are decent at it).

All of it has it's place and only a dumbass would suggest otherwise (not that that would stop me) so Frankiesurf is right on that. He seems like a good fisherman, and I welcome his input.

"Ned Flanders" I hope that doesn't make the Homer Simpson of the same, I was kinda hoping I would be Krusty The Clown.
