Question

I know this has been asked before. I know that most of you have already posted your favorite ways to catch them. But there are alot more new members now and I would like to ask them. If you have posted before on how you like to catch them and you wish to post again, please post, I want to know.

I have so many ways that I like to catch them. Well there certainly isn't anything like going through a rip on your first drift of the morning just as the sun is rising and having that line ripped off your finger when using a eel.. God I love that!

I also enjoy bucktailing the rips very much. Nothing like that bump that just stops you from reeling.

I have to say one of the coolest ways to catch stripers is on live adult bunker. It's so cool to see that bunker on top of the water stressing, just knowing that there is a big bass down there looking at it.

But by far my favorite way to catch the finest inshore gamefish that we have in NJ. On a popper from the BEACH/JETTY. Nothing beats seeing a busting bass all over your lure. I could do it for days and still get the same excitment one the 100th,just as I did on the 1st. Top water SH*T rules!!!!

Give me what ya got.... I wanna pick some brains, and see if there are anymore cool ways to get them to bite.. Please feel free to post..

A. Eeling, Nothing like finding a pocket that nobody's on & sliding thru it & hooking up!

B. Bucktailing, Working a bird play & jigging them buggers up!

C.Poppers, Like you said Skip, NOTHING like working a plug & catching them, NOTHING!

Hope to get another trip or two on the Stalker before it's all over. As of today My Corona is wrapped up for this year. Give me a shout!

My favorite way to catch the bass is on the chunk,with fresh bunker,love waiting them out,then the sound of the Shimino Baitrunner screaming with the smashing hit.

Never caught a bass that I didn't enjoy. Every method is fun and has it's place. Anymore I really enjoy catching them on the flyrod. You have to work harder and you don't get as many (unless they are surface feeding) but I enjoy the feel of pulling next to no weight and having to use you hand as the drag untill the line is on reel. Now that the water is getting cold, eel clam or bunker on a light rod can't be beat.

My favorite way to slay those big breeders is non-fishing the aquarium. HAPPY DAYS.
