If you don't know the spot already there's nothing in that video that is going to lead you there. I don't know what the tv show is going to be like - I was not involved in that.
It's looking like eels will not be legal as bait in RI - I'm not sure if the word is official yet. Sluggos are going to be good sellers if they ban eels - that's why I invested in the video.
Joe, I wasn't saying the video was bad or good for that spot in the format you presented. If I didn't know where it was shot or didn't know the angler in it or had never fished it, I wouldn't even know what state it was in. Cool video none the less!
"Out there in the surf is where it's at, that's where the line gets drawn in the sand between those who talk fishing and those who live it."
- a wise man.
They were in short supply last August September also. There were about 5 weeks when I could not get any.
So, yup - I will buy lots of Sluggos in advance....
There is not much money in selling Sluggos though...
Eels are what bring the surfcasters into the store - they'll buy other stuff when they are there, but if you snip out eels - you'll have a significant population that will be drastically reducing their visits.
RI's eel ban and MA's herring ban is going to really hurt the baitshops and have a significant impact on established methods. It's a disruptive event.
