bluefish1928thing Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Sometimes I wonder if Marylanders call striped bass rockfish because they fight like a rock. Heavy weight, sometimes lacking resistance. Â worst fighter= crappie.....they feel like reeling in a piece of paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunt for blueessss Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Sometimes I wonder if Marylanders call striped bass rockfish because they fight like a rock. Heavy weight, sometimes lacking resistance.  worst fighter= crappie.....they feel like reeling in a piece of paper.   +1 Crappie they just lay on the surface and get pulled in  that's what I always thought. Then I scaled down to realistic tackle for them. 2 lb test line with a 1/16 oz jig and mini mite on an ultralight setup for all panfish - then call them weak!  It's not fair to fish 8 lb line for a fish that at 3/4 lb is a SLAB #1 white bucktail. #2 bunker chunk. #3 bone Redfin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â It's not fair to fish 8 lb line for a fish that at 3/4 lb is a SLAB I guess you have a point. I feel like some fight like bass and some don't fight at all.

saltydawg Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Down in the Carolinas they tie cords off to the boat cleats attached to planers with a spoon attached and troll for Spanish and king mackerel. That was always a pretty weak fight, pulling them in by hand after a 3 ton boat already dragged them for a bit. Â Â I like when they don't trip the planer and you pull them in a half hour later with their stomach folk of a gallon of water. Â Speckled trout suck at fighting. - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Speckled trout suck at fighting. lol,had that happen before too with the Spanish. Always use ultra light for specks. The larger ones fight ok. The smaller ones like pinfish.
