Hey Professor,
Read the original post closely as I edited it to say "artificial”. The word "Plug" is much too parochial 
Don't get sidetracked by our resident purists Flap and Numby, either... they have plenty of dirty little secrets, I'm sure. |

wellsley farms apple pie is damn good... mmm mm 
this is a boat vrs surf question.... because you have to
be right on the money on shore... (usually)
with a boat or kayak you can troll or fish finder your way into aggressively feeding bass...then switch offerings
but on the shore it's more like the color of the day and or the presentation of the day or last couple of days |

Sorry Mike I didn't look close enough.
George has divulged a few to me. Flap never calls but I do watch him with binocs on occasion if he is in my area. Haven't seen anything dirty. Spring is all about top water plugs for me, howdy's, spooks.Pretty simple when fish are hungry. Summer is bait, trolling, and Fall is a little of both. I just like to fish, with a little less emphasis on catching. If it happens that's great. I just enjoy trying to fool the fish with plugs. To me that is the most fun. To me knowledge comes with repetition. |

Just bustin, bud.
As for Flap and Numby, they like to play in the grey area with eelskin coated wood, smelly jelly, sex toys, and the like. Watch out for those guys when they try to take the high ground in this debate.....hypocrites they be......  |

If you can't catch a fish on a Storm or Tsunami shad, you need to take up golf.

I know you are. Remember I am a Franklin High grad with ADD. I miss a lot.
I would not speak for them but I think G. and F. have done the live bait, trolling, eels thing many times over the years and have evolved to find the plug thing to be more rewarding for them. kind of how I feel. I just like foolin em on wood. I do know G told me that one of his fishin buddies fishes eels 98% of the time so i don't think he holds anything against people that do it. I will say when we went out in his boat this late fall I left 2 doz. eels at home because I was nervous he had a no eels policy.  We used plugs only and didn't catch much but I enjoyed the hell out of catching not much. |

Shhhhhhhhhh. Just because he's my fishing buddy doesn't mean I don't consider him a morally corrupt despicable incompetent evolutionary dead end. And that would be on his good days. |

oH NO, WAIT A MINUTE HERE NOW! I never ever did anything with sex toys. Jelly and eelskins maybe but no sex toys. That's all Numbys thing. |
Why even try.........

I think whatever requires the least skill is the best fish catching tool ..
1. chunk
2. eel
3. jigg
4. plug
After that its the quality of your fishing hole ,wether you found it yourself or were put on it .
The plug I like best is a slow sink needle (8'-20' of water)for larger fish and also requires very litte skill . reel slow but don't get hung up on the bottom . floater for shallower water . I think throwing a jigg at the canal is the most physicly demanding fishing I do .. Close second would be running on the rocks behind Numby being both physicly and mentaly abusive .
