Yep Blue all you said above is what I use plus some other things. I have a couple of poles (Mr. Shortie and his evil cousin "The Bastard") who catch 85% of the fish that get caught off my boat. I do another trick butttttttttt I'll hold that one back for the people who fish in my boat.
Can't give out all my secrets

I figure if I come back with no fish and I tried everything in my tackle box then they weren't going to bite.

Could that be the rack of hand grenades I saw in the garage Lee?:zip:

Ok, I'll bite...drifting eels with medium spinning tackle? Or a special plug pulled right in the propwash? Am I getting warm? :fam:

I know you've caught some pigs....I remember that much.

"Mr Shortie" and "The Bastard"...LMFAOFF!!....:you:

Nope C-4 is my friend, I don't use eels much, I have better luck with 2 other baits but you have to match 1 of them to poles, they dont work as well on some poles as others.

But the magic is in the cousins "Mr Shortie" and "The Bastard".

It took me about 15yrs to find out what to purt on these 2 poles and that includes the reels also with the bait.

Keep guessing Blue, I'm as tight lipped as trying to get the info out of
"Mr Shortie" and "The Bastard". :beer:

Ok, 2nd guess...

The rods mysteriously draw them next to the boat in a daze and you free gaff them without even wetting a line.

Almost Blue but I just net them as they wander close to the boat

Wish I would of seen this earlier
 

Me and the ol lady were @ my families beach house in sneads Ferry coulda cruised up and hung out while you were there. Oh well maybe next time. I need to catchup and meet some of you NC guys when we go down to the beach for some fun in the sun. Glad that you like our coast Willy did you like that Carolina Custom Sportfish? or I think thats what it was definately looks like a Carolina Custom.

Actually it was not the boat that caught my eye but the three bikini clad hotties that were on it, the boat is fabulous, saw lots of fine rigs down there
