tough the 2 conventional schools of thought would be 1. match the hatch, now your sand eel weather it be a fly or a red gill has to compete with 3 metric tons of actual sand eels to get bit. 2. predator vs prey and bust a HUGE plug that gives the appearence that its looking for the same forage..
I usually sit and watch for a few when they wont take my stuff and hopefully learn something. usually though I think that when i turn around to leave.. one comes to the surface rolls on its side.. and gives me the "fin".  |
Domination takes full concentration..

If you quit using eels and just fished plugs you'd know why you weren't catching anything........you needed more plugs.....and everything would be great.  |

I just think that the fish
Have won again. I hope that they have enjoyed themselves. Who said it was right, really. It's not fish that I'm after....

Yup. I use a bait pen tied to the mooring.

So many of you have said what I've always felt -- the fact that there are no definitive rules, or guaranteed formulas keeps the game fresh and alive. However, trying to figure out some of the subtle nuances that turns on the cows can often lead to the difference between a poor day and a great day.
6 hours spent in the water two weeks ago verified that the big cows were holding in the dirty water and a week later we made sure we fished all the roiled water and we caught large.
A week later when five foot surf was slamming the beaches we made sure we pushed into the milky water and again we were blessed with big feeding stripers.
Massive schools of sand eels are responsible for the large concentrations of bass and in many cases smaller eels are producing big stripers while large eels get eaten by bluefish.
I would love to hear some other examples of when making a small change proved to be the key to success.

Remember where we use to fish the cape, Mike? Fish used to pile in there mid/late June and just swim around for a couple weeks before we could actually catch them. You'd be drifting along when a school of super large fish would suddenly surround the boat without warning. Never figured out how to catch them, but at some point there would always be a trigger which would put them into a frenzy. Usually happened around 7/10-7/15 or so every year.
