For the most part ,,, No longer exists ... smaller thinner plug profiles are in because we are mainly imitating sand eels and spike mackerel .. There are no pogeys so why imitate them .. When's the last time a harbor filled with pogeys and died from lack of oxigen due to high numbers ? Talking with Rockfish 9 about this today. Talk to a real old guy like Angler #1 he'll tell you about back in the day how you could hear the Silver Hake (whatever those are) coming down the canal before you could see them .. Then you'd see the Silver Hake all skittering(big popper?) on top of the water trying to get the hell out .. I remember in my short yrs. seeing the canal loaded full of squid . All the plugs hanging in the bait shops now are blue,green,mackerel . If you need a Squid color your screwed, but who's going to need one of those ?? Yea ,,, sadly enough the need no longer exisist for the most part .. Only bright spot is we can bring back herring imatations due to latest conservation efforts . More striper conservation ? I think the whole eco system needs an overhaul . Gotta feed em ..
