A few recent catches on the pichney stuff
Had some good outings in the last week. I put the mack colored pichney sand eel on and the fish couldn't keep off it... I eventually lost the plug on a RI rock...  The white worked well also.
Next night I fished the 8" musso sr. slopehead and caught fish practically every cast for two hours. No pics of the fish, but had close to 20 fish up to 20# on it. Funny thing was I couldn't get a touch with an eel and went to the plug...I then hit paydirt.
Can't believe what I was missing until I started building and fishing my own plugs...I'm gonna piss myself If I have any more fun...

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole

 Considering they wouldn't take an eel one night, it was actually easier with plugs...unhooking a thrashing fish while you're in a precarious position ain't easy though...in that situation I'd prefer an eel or single hook offering as you need not worry about the trebles. I did get one about 35# on an eel the first night though...everything else came on wood.
Here's the musso sr...it held up real well, but a large bluefish took a big chunk out of it.

Lose the barbs, Mike. I mean it, seriously. You don't need them, particularly on large fish. You'll drop a few fish when they switch directions in close, but it beats hell out of having to go to an ER from where you sometimes fish. Also, if you are out on a rock, try a small lip gaff. Makes life much simpler. Nice plug, by the way, very nice. |
