I've been out fished by more foriegn kids with tin cans and bummed hooks than i can count! I even noodled once in oklahoma! now the stripers have my full attention and cann't seem to break the 30# mark...so i have learned afew things from this post! Lets keep it up!

You really have to chat with Angler #1 .. He fished the world off a Navy Destroyer WWII.. He was in charge of recreation, and by the time he got out he had 8 rods stowed on board and had the whole ship fishing .. He got in a jam for bending a small crane trying to haul a big fish on board .. If you two chat, I'd love to listen .. He's a forum leader in mass forum over there .

Thanks! I never used (or needed..if ihad i would have used) a crane. Used the b'osins skiff to land the shark...The XO told the deck crew to help me land the fish..a couple "well" placed shots from a m9 made the fish more "stable". I was merely a willing particpant i the melee. Tuna off hawai, unknown fish in the black sea, Unknown fish with grenades in the persian gulf with "indeginous" people. I should be thanking all you guys for paying your taxes on time to let my teammates and myself fish some of the best and worst waters of the world! TANK YOU! Back to the topic...is the white water the best place to fish the big metal lip danny?

No, you want calmer water
they work well near the mouths of breachways, ina bowl on the beach at first light(white) sometimes when smaller fish are around eating stuff like small needles and sluggos, a better fish will come up for a danny and surprise you.

Dannys and whitewater have gotten a ton of press recently (and for good reason) but, in my experience, I think their biggest strength is in enticing reluctant fish to hit in conditions where they would ignore most plugs.....namely calm, good visability, deeper water, day or night. I think the surface wake they make is a big part of this. As it gets rougher this advantage is lost and a subsurface swimmer does better.

i would concur with George, wholeheartedly

and since this seems to be becoming a Danny thread;

something i stumbled on last year that offers a different "twist"
than has been mentioned thus far is to let the Danny hit, super crank it for four or five cranks so as to make the Danny pop-pop, then swim it steady and much slower than the pops.

pop-pop-pause-ssswwwwiiimmm. continue up unto yer feet, from false dawn right into an hour past first light.

~~olive green over creme, yellow over white, white/white ~~ has raised sum goodun's from Gansett to the NShore,,,,,,,,,,,,1'-4' seas gentle rollers, decent visibility, had more than a coupla nice twenties launch themselves at a "wounded" danny.
