This is just one of many but Clogston and I were fishing on an outer cape beach one night maybe 4 years ago when we were really new to the sport of striped bass fishing. I don't think we had ever experienced a blitz at the point nevermind caught a fish on wooden plug. Anyway we were fishing eel and black 2 oz. Hab's needles because that what we knew you were supposed to do. I think we both hooked up on our first cast and it continued cast after cast for maybe 45 minutes. I don't think we broke 30 inches but for a couple guys new to catching it was great.
I went to the same spot the next night and hooked up with a cow that nearly spooled me and I ultimately lost it due to a sticky drag and poor angling skills. I think loosing that fish was it for me. There was no turning back after that. Since then there have been alot of good fish on those needles.
