In need of plug recommendations

[dj_is]

All,

 

I am used to fishing with bucktails and plastics, but have found a spot where I think that plugs would be ideal. It is a long jetty with lots of boulders surrounding it, and a fair current ripping around the end. There is no light, so I am guessing lures with more action would be key, and it would be nice to be able to stay out of the snags! Any recs?

 

Thanks!

I personally would stay with the bucktails, but you can always give a darter a try. Toss it up current and retrieve. I sometimes find it hard fo get the darter to dig depending on how high I am on a jetty.

Sounds like your spot was designed for bucktails and darters, maybe some shad.

B/M darters will work Sweeet, just my 2 cents

Don't forget the PROFILE.

Here are two thoughts

1 - Sluggo rigged on a Point Jude Wobble Head. Heads come in various sizes; I'm sure you can find a size to swim in the current, over the structure and not snag.

2 - A metal lip that dives a bit. Tattoo diving swimmer & JNSki Slope Head Jr. come to mind. You can adjust the depth by bending the eye of the plug a little.

sounds like the perfect place to sling out a large pug and allow it to drift out and slwoly bring it back.

 

even drift it out and let it hang there waggin' like a dog.

 

I would say a 6 inch danny,choopy's 1.5 oz swimmer[online store here] a 6 inch darter held out there would do it too!

 

have a look at the online store right here!

Since I have not fished any MD waters other than OCMD Inlet and am in MD for the next year you should take me and well throw bunch of stuff. lol

[natedog]

i fished an inlet in jersey on a falling tide. caught numerous short stripers on a pearl bomber, much fun. however guy next to me with plain white bucktail caught all keepers

[BS4Shore]

bring extra jigs and leader material and stay on the bottom.

Stay with the bucktails. use a heavier one if the current is ripping as you stated. cast upcurrent and let the flow bring the bucktail to the sweet zone

Current around the jetty,get a few yozuri mag darters,they should do

[Striped Bass]

Bottle plug, darter, needlefish, popper

[ReelMan]

I have 4 in my mind,

 

Darters (my fav at night is the yo-zuri Ghost Black 1-OZ mag darter)

 

WTD (Heddon Super Spook Bone or Baby Bass and Mirro-Lure He-Dog 95MR)

 

Bucktails (spro Bucktails)

 

Poppers (floating type, any will do)

 

Also i have a great success at night using a 4 inch fresh squid or cuttlefish stripe on 1-OZ jig heads (slow retrieve with some twitch's)...

During the day- a big spook just crawled along. I've been doing pretty good with them lately. At night, I'd probably go with 12" unweighted sluggo if it's less than 7-8 feet or a bomber... If it's deeper than that then a weighted sluggo.
