Yup thats the one.
They are tail weighted (I roll lead flashing around a wire) and there's also some lead in front of the hook.
As far as fishing them deep, they sink so I just let them. Retrieve as slow as I can bear with occasional twitch (to confirm contact).
second picture is a few in need of epoxy, first is of few that have caught plenty (mostly small). |

Dude, epoxy those bad boys up! Let's rock them for the next trip. Also, I'd like about a dozen more: all the colors of the rainbow. Including rainbow. And wonder bread. |

Those pictures are very helpful, ChrisJoe, I like the idea of working something that looks like a baby lobster deep. Thanks.

The pipes, the pipes are calling...
Had it all yesterday beginning with nearly perfect weather...the fish cooperated too. Good thing Numby is one of the best guides I've ever fished with because his cooking stinks...
I must say this was without a doubt the single most exciting fish I've ever taken in my life...the hit was just mind blowing as this fish of 35# or so came completely out of the water after my white danny. It reminded me of those tuna pics you see everywhere where the tuna leaps completely clear of the water while pursuing the bluefish. I was chanting like a cheerleader while Numby and ProfessorM simply chuckled...was really cool. We took a few pics, weighed it on Numby's rusty old chatillion, then set her loose.

It's not the bait

Banana plug does damage...
Was kind of grinning to myself when George put this thing on, but quickly crapped myself as this upper 20#, maybe 30# fish took it down like it was a twinkie just scant few feet from shore...

ProfessorM raised some amazing fish on the flaptail. I've never seen one in action before, but might need to put one on my "to do" list for this winter...a couple real good fish didn't want to stay on the hook for PM, but the real thrill was watching the fish come up and take the plugs...fighting and landing them paled in comparison to some of the hookups we had.

Worth the trip today. Here is a blue with some shoulders that crashed Tagger's predator (good windy day plug). 13.5#.

Autumn Fish!
This mack "Prey" has caught many fish this season and continues to be a workhorse in my bag! It took a beating today! You can't beat catching on swimmers!!! |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Very slow going, but the few we found were good.
29.5 #, 2.75oz Gibbs clone pencil. Thank you, Stan.
