srm413 Posted November 13 Report Share Posted November 13 once or twice a year i go out with one or two friends, with a guide, in southern maine for stripers. its the usual routine, head out, sabiki some mackerel and then go baitfishing off rocky shores. not my favorite thing to do as i prefer to keep casting and working lures. question is...what would be some good plastics in the 1-2oz range to keep me busy?

striperswiper06437 Posted November 13 Report Share Posted November 13 Sluggo, Sluggo, Sluggo........thats really about all you need. srm413, yogiiiboy and sytheteacher 3 It all started last year during a terrible thunderstorm, when I locked myself out of the house. Shelving myself with a large piece of sheet metal, I ran for cover under the tallest tree I could find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvalente98 Posted November 13 Report Share Posted November 13 z-man makes some good paddle-tails. And they're non-toxic so they don't smell/taste like a plastic factory. (not that stripers probably care but who knows). Not too expensive depending on the website. I found some on-sale recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petespeak Posted November 14 Report Share Posted November 14 Albie Snax and Super Snax...Super Snax on a teaser rig was my highest percentage bait for "bigger than slot" stripers this season. Had one of my best days in fifty years: found a pod of big fish trapped in a deep, backwater trough at low tide. After landing seven 40+ inchers in seven casts, I just sat their watching them feast on a mat of jumping sand eels covering the surface. I stopped because catching more would be diminshing returns: try eating a gallon of your favorite ice cream: the last bite is forced down, no enjoyment, just knee jerk fishing and catching. Did not want to diminish the moment by being a glutton. dangingras, espo@mtkpnt and ermghoti 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird season: Sluggos struck out for me this year but PINK Super Snax saved my season. Thinking the pink color resembled a squid. Best hooks I found for the Super Snax were 9.0 and up weighted Titan Riders. Edited November 14 by petespeak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
