Who would fish without eels?

[BigFish]

I know I can reach fish with my plugs that the eel guys can't reach!

If that happens again, call me before Tom's closes and maybe I'll run down to get some for you guys, then I can leave them outside my shop for you, it's on your way.

I would have to agree the better chance at large would be with the eels, although my last 40 came on an eelskin jig
I love jigging
plugging, especially the canal is a crapshoot for large.

In the canal for big fish bring eels or stay home, unless there is big bait in there jigs and plugs can be just as effective, but thats a total crapshoot.

bring your eel guy a six pack every once in awhile. my guy open the shop for me if need be. Needlefish I have total confidence in them.

plugs are my weapons of choice, i like doing things my way. i know that i'm handicapping myself by not using bait but i enjoy plugging so much and catching on my wood that i would'nt wanty to do it any other way, 'cept for one of my flyrods .

I'd fish... you stand a better chance of going large fishing plugs or jigs than sitting home on the couch

He's talking about cows not schoolies !

that fish in the picture was caught on a jig (39.7 lbs)

the rest of my canal 30's were all on eels.

I would definitely still go fish without them and only fish with them about 10% of the time.
