drifters Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 If you want to get fancy.. get a rigging needle and run a little rubber band through the mac's nostrils then attach it to the hook with the band.. I've found this keeps them fresh longer and avoids them hooking themself in the eye, which kills them quick. Through the jaw kills them quick too, but helps casting. That said, if its fast an furious I almost always go straight through the nostrils and toss her out. Worth mentioning is that macs are faster swimmers than stripers, if you're getting chased a lot but not picked up, trim their fins. Pollock are always through their meaty back, behind the dorsal up to a float. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captahab416 Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 I hit up a usually reliable NS river last night on the ebb. Fished from about 0200 to 0600 with eels then topwater once the sun came up. Not even a single bump. Then some fly guys show up on a canoe on the other side of the river at about 0500 and they were killing it. The only thing that saved my sanity was seeing a doe prance around the marsh at sunrise, absolutely beautiful. Hoping I can get the night off from work to try my luck again tonight.

Unfortunately, the ocean both giveth and taketh. Hope your friend at least bought breakfast. Fishing kills me exactly as it keeps me alive.

MBean5 Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Caught 3 stripers 24-28" early this morning around Salem Sound islands. Topwater, blind casts using super fluke. Fun fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlumFishing Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Went to the river on Sunday as much to fish as be near the water. Halfway there (bout 30 minutes away) I am thinking I should grab some reel oil at Surfland and it hits me I had forgotten my casting rod at home like an idiot; had taken it out to wash down after my last outing and hung it in the shed. Had my chunking rods and my girlfriends rod with me so didn't have to go back, but am still stunned I let that happen. I have never see so many people on the riverbank, it was an absolute zoo! We pulled a skunkeroo during about 5 hours on clams and worms. At one point a guy comes over next to us, pulls store tags off his new gear, ties on a pre-made fishfinder rig with a piece of clam, walks into the water mid-shin in a pair of white ankle socks and lobs out his bait and pulls in a ~20" fish after about 2 minutes. Unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
