Striped Bass with Lime
The simple act of tying on my spiked soles forms beads of sweat on my forehead - they slowly drip into my eyes. I head out into the moonlight with a plug bag full of fluorescent limes. I stand on a favorite perch, now thoroughly drenched, and cast a Tagger Spofford lime. As my retrieve brings it closer to the strike zone I anticipate the take... but still it surprises me. Almost too easy I slide two teen fish into the bubble weed on consecutive casts. Time to experiment - I clip on a gift from Canalman - another lime - a jumbo. First cast and I can see it splash down. It slides along the glassy moonlit surface like a mini kayak. I see the blow-up a micro-second before I feel it - water everywhere. My rod loads - the VS yields line - then nothing. I retrieve the jumbo lime now covered in salad. No damage to the hooks. I let fly once again - it lands - I see the wake - the water erupts. God I love this game.

Nothing like a little action in the moonlight after the long walk, eh...  |
"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

Seawolf,
Block is always in the back of my mind. Flourescent Lime plugs are still as effective today as they were when someone stumbled onto the color at a block island hardware store 25 years or so ago.
