What's the most plugs you've lost

[Rappin Mikey]

I loose a bunch to trees during the river action each spring. I've lost so many in the summers since the seal population exploded on the outter Cape 4 years ago.

thats funny, i find lots of plugs in fish heads washed up on the beach. i thought you guys were just setting the hook too hard and breaking the fishes neck and your line ay the same time!!!

Normally I walk the beach early in the morning and find most of the stuff the tourists loose. Also If I am desperate I will put my lobster pots within casting range of known hot-spots...this usually yields a bi-weekly bounty.



(just kidding )



One time I had a line problem and I snapped off 3 tins in a row. That was the worst. When the last one flew into outter space you might have heard me scream WTF!! I took off the reel and threw it into the back of the truck while murming 40 years experience all for naught! (It happens to everyone now and again)

Last year I think I lost two or three plugs total.

Sauerkraut came by my basement and I lost six.

I lost four needlefish one night last summer out at the Race, P'town...all with fish attached...to seals. While it was easy to replenish my needlefish supply from Numby when his dog isn't looking, it is not so easy to get in front of a school of big beach bass in anybody's territory.
