Preseason Discussion #1: Early Season Lure Selection

[The Dad Fisherman]

I use the 4" fin-s and Queen Cocahoes in Pearl. I made some small 1.5 ounce Pencils to try this year, pearl and yellow over pearl. I'll have the 5" and 7" mambos in olive, black, and in white. Also made a couple of Howdy's in Pearl and Yellow over Pearl. and some home made swimmers in Pearl, yellow over pearl, and Black.

as always I'll carry some bucktails....never get chit on them though, but they'll be in the bag because I'm stubborn.

I'll primarily be fishing river systems starting in a few weeks. Big pencils (white and yellow), 9" Finess, 6" bassassassins, and 7"crystal minnows during the daylight hours. Black 7"Mambos by night. If I head to the Cape I'll be throwing small mambos, bassassassins, and crystal minnows.

herring, shad or mackerel lookalikes.
I can't wait to see live lined mackerel trying to fly.
