Go nocturnal and throw big plugs and eels in big fish spots with big fish gear. Easier said then done, but that will certainly help your cause.

hey Island Girl
First of all Welcome to S-B .... 
All the info you seek is here in the forums if you read fast....
otherwise: look at the many sponsers plugs and start your own
hands off MOTO ->stash... heh heh 
some people are strictly bait fishermen throwing out chunks
of mackeral or bunker (change it every 20 minutes to keep the scent from washing out ) and others are strickly pluggers....
some do both until they find the right method.
it's a "rock fish" so look for the rocks at low tide and fish them
at night... use scent and/or different colors until the fish give you a clue as to what they're interested in during that specific time.
it tends to change as does the tide when different food sources or natural conditions prevail... experiment with different retrieves
different spots ....and bait .... until you find that winning combination.  |

This is a new section for How-To's, Tips & Tricks plus Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Tons of great guys and info here for you to learn from.
You wanna catch biggins, you gotta come into the darkside and learn fish eels w/ me!
Raven, thanks man..but get this..Her stash is my stash...  one of the best benefits of getting your better half into fishing...heheh..more fishing equiptment for me..(cough, and her too), as she helps to pitch in! She already has the "Plug Ho" syndrome!  sarah..you'll understand that later 
hmm..maybe now you can come to the next official hooters striped-bass meetings  I'm sure the guys wont mind at all..just make sure you bring your "hot" girl friends..

Right now
Buy a box of whole squids...defrost.... large strong hook and heavy outfit.
Toss a whole one out at night near deep water off rocks (be careful).
Leave bail open and hold line with fingers..... hold on!

Good health and family

I second the eels at night, heavy gear for serious fish plan...If you like to plug, learn to rig dead eels- you can work it like a plug, cover more water, and its easier to keep alert since you are moving and casting at a faster pace. When they hit them it won't be like a pickup on a live eel- often it feels like they are trying to rip the rod out of your hands. A conventional graphite 9-10' with a 7000 series abu and 50# powerpro and a 9-10' 50 flouro leader tied direct to the eel works for me. Check out Secrets of Surf Fishing at night book by Mueller for details on rigging.Oh, and invest in goretex wading jacket and waders so you don't get soaked and miserable before the cows come home....Best of Luck, Jim p.s. don't get caught up in getting numbers of schoolies- rarely will big fish mingle with them-unless they are eating them! Keep moving til u find bigger fish- it takes self discipline-but it's a must.

 get proficient at a few simple knots. To the point where you can tie them in minimal light. To start check out: palomar, improved clinch, and perfection loop.
If you want to go with artificials and not fish live eels, sluggos are a viable option as are the real eels and ebens hog eels. Needlefish also serve to imitate good forage. Dont count out the humble black bomber and/ or the black mambo with silver sides. You want structure. Rocks boulders, grass, dips, etc. You'd be surprised what a group of 10 rocks will do to a beach that is pretty much flat.
Start on beaches before hitting up the rocks for sure, until you can get around rocky areas in the day time checking for places that seem fishy.

there is one secret to catching a big bass. You have to put your time in. That means forgetting about sleep. Bass are nocturnal so if you want to get the big cows you need to crawl around in the wee hours. Don't get discouraged as it takes time but ask any of the seasoned vets and they will tell you "put you time in". You'll understand what that means after a few months.

Hey thanks guys for all your info. I am going to put it to some good use. I can't wait to go out now..... I know it will take many hours of night fishing, and @ least I have already scoped out places during the daylight so I can get right to it.... Oh yeah just so that everyone knows I don't always wear those shoes that was a one time use only......  |

If she can still hook them after she names them, let her name them. Whatever gets you more fish time.

Ok I need to defend myself a little here......... Well can you say tonight is the night we are headed out to go fishing and yes one of the eel's that I named will be tossed into the sea hopefully to become a cow's victim. Although I am getting a little attached to the critters, but hey life's a *&@$% then you die right. Ok good luck to everyone out there fishin. Hey maybe by me naming them it will bring some good fortune.... |
