When the conditions are right, spooks can rock at night

Congrats on the fish!

Maybe some of my best nights plugging have been on a white Spook. Nothing that large, biggest on a spook was 28#s or so.

Give the RM Smith Floating needle a try. Very spooky but with a thinner profile. That plug was great for me this season. A large surf howdy has also been great but that was when the profile of the large howdy was much thinner. I would be a little less likely to fish the more wide bodied big howdiesn at night now.

I second the floating needle. It's real easy to work and casts pretty good. Another RM plug that works at night is the Jigsmith spook.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
