Plugs For Cuttyhunk
I'll be making my 1st journey to the Hallowed Grounds at the end of the month and I was wondering what Types of lures and Colors seem to be the best producers out there. I have a few ideas what to bring but curious as to what I may be missing.
Want to hit the man cave and make a few for the trip.
As always any help is Much Appreciated

Surface oriented lures such as Danny's, Pencils and spooks will be your best bet especially if fishing from shore. Pearl White, Pearl White w/ light pink sides, Yellow/silver sides and pearl belly and Black/gold.
Flaptails will work also and if fishing at night Nebe's Surfhog and rubber like that.
|
Why even try.........

I've always had luck in the morning with skinny polaris type poppers, off white with a red head, and copper over off white pencils. Like Flap said, surf hogs at night. I'll be plugging out there this weekend, If there hitting anything in paticular, I'll let you know.

Just bring everything you've got, including the kitchen sink ...  That way, you won't be out of anything. |

Yeah boys, it's coming up!!!!
TDF, double up your production....some for me, and some for swapping/hoeing.
Slip, that is a classic memory I carry from those trips. If they only knew what you had to leave back at the house and how long it took to load your drag bag!

Eels have served me well out there, but most of my 30#+ have come on plugs (2 on eels and 12+ on plugs). Many plugs have worked for me. The Buzzard's bay side is where my eel success has come. The point by Sow & Pigs through the bass clubs is where plugs shine. Tattoo's danny worked really well for me along the rocky shoreline, while darters, long casting stubby needles, and pencil poppers at 1st & last light have been key at the point. Bring something "squid-like" as the Canalman pencil I took 6 30's on looked very much like a squid. I found working along the shoreline by the bass stands, as opposed to casting out to sea, payed off well also. I now keep it simple when I head out there and keep my selection limited to the following:
- 1 pencil popper like a Gibbs canal special or Canalman in white or yellow/white
- a dark and a light colored Habs 2 ounce needle
- a dark and a light colored Tattoo danny
- a dark and a light colored darter (Tattoo or Super Strike)
- a couple stubby needles like the Super Strike bullets
- maybe a Giant Pikie or an Atom 40
- maybe a bag of eels just in case

14 fish over 30 pounds out at the hunk? 
I don't know if I have that many 30's in my life I guess I better spend more time fishing and less time choosing which plugs.
Classic picture John, I couldn't find that one.
Slingah, that was only one bag, you should have seen me out on cuttyhunk  next time I am following toby |

Slip, I have been fortunate enough to have been on the island when big fish have moved through. I still think about what I could have landed had I not made mistakes on a couple fish I hooked. Three of us last fall hooked into multiple fish each during an epic blitz that made us look and feel silly. Only a couple times in my life have I felt under gunned, and last year's blitz was one of them. If you truly try to target the big girls, they can be found. I feel your odds of hooking a monster go up 10x out there. Unfortunately, your odds of landing her after hooking up go down just as much. As anyone that has been out there knows, it is not the easiest place to fight and land a good fish. You need to be willing to sacrifice your safety at times just to get a hand on her. We still re-live stories of that night and my landing techniques.

Yes, that place has all the ingredients! As well as a high factor to break your assbone and need to wait until mid day to get back to civilization... |
