The same old reliable lure as in the past 5 years:
Black or "eel colored" 9" Slug-go on a 1oz. jig.
Although this year was interrupted by a nagging knee problem, I was able (and am still able) to finish out the season.
On a side note, I tried a different line this year. It's a relatively inexpensive braid that I picked up at a Foxborough sporting goods store (
called P-Line. It's held up fantastically, and hasn't failed me yet. After trying (and regretting it) Spiderwire, as well as Fireline, I graduated to PowerPro, but it can be a little cost prohibitive when spooling multiple reels. The P-Line braid has the best of both worlds:
reliable, durable braid that doesn't breakdown and unwind like the forementioned ones, and is affordable. I'm sure there are quite a few brands that are equal, if not better in quality, but for the type of fishing I'm engaged in, it has been a roaring success.
