Help only Blues, Gloucester

[Fly Rod]

Before the floro carbs all we used was mono. We also used it for Tuna and we caught fish. Are the fish any smarter? "No". Did the makers of all these new lines do good advertizing and also brain wash us? "Yes ".

All I use today are floroucarb leaders 4-5'. with a swivel attached. I do believe it does increase your catch.

I would not use a floater with chunk bait for stripers. You may get away with it on blues.

We do use a bobber with live baits.

I only use a weight some times when trolling from a boat with live bait.

Chuming is the key to chunk bait fishing from boat or fishing from the shore.

I use a #5 hook for chunk fishing and a #8 hook for trolling live bait excpt when trolling eels I use the #5 hook
