For me:
Honestly it was my slowest year in almost two decades. But spooks and canal pencils did the trick mostly for me this year.
But the lures that fared the best for me this season were spooks - and two particulars ones at that, these always seemed to raise the fish best for me:
The AH fat boy slider in yellow and green - biggest fish of the season and some other decent ones caught ... if you don't have the fat boy slider from AH and enjoy spooks, get them, they work great.
Also, a spook made buy a guy in my club ... it's called the Skunky Joe ... the color that provided for me most consistenly whether I was on Cutty, the North Shore, Rhody or Fisher's Island was yellow and chartreuse green.
If any of you get to the Plum Island Surfcasters fund raiser this year, look for the Skunky Joe plugs on the raffle table - he makes a few for the club's fundraiser and they work really well ... fished really responded well to it for me this season.

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. |

Quantity of fish is was probably a tie with old AH bone colored spook and a PtJude nautilus. Size it was an AH 10"white needle. Also, a yellowish danny from MikeCC killed em in the canal.

EELS... But I tend to think that whatever lure you have in the water most often is your top producer... I think that if you caught a bass on "X" lure that if you dragged "Y" in front of it the fish would also strike... I think the fish was caught because it was THERE, and it wouldnt care if it was a needle or a redfin... in many cases at least. But how the heck should I know, or quite honestly ANY of us really know... WE"RE NOT BASS!!!

au contraire, mon frere!!
i will respectfully differ,,,,,,,,,,,,
riggies are the best of both BAIT
AND LURE,
a sort of hybrid since
it is bait that can be fished like a lure, or
is it a lure that can be fished like bait???
same-same for an eeelskin plug, ne c'est pas?
once you affix hooks to it and "rig" it like a Sluggo
you've made it a lure, imho, and a MOST effective one at that!!

I always do well with bucktail jigs, 4 ounce mr.pogie usually
I did well on a number of other lures = my own pencil, jigman spook, howdy, leadhead and bubblegum sluggo, ledgerunner rubba. I hope I get to fish more next year.
