Peg Leg, Aug 16
« on: August 17, 2006, 09:03:39 AM »
Fished the Peg Leg gong show from 2:00 to 8:00 pm. Fishing looked good when I got there. Fair amount of fish being caught. The bite slowed down as the day progressed. Hooked and landed a spring within the 1st hour. Lost one other spring. Had to really work for the socs. Only managed one to the beach and lost one. Green, purple and orange yarn combo with a silver corky was the ticket.
I think the commercial opening caused the poor fishing as the day progressed. I saw more springs caught than socs.
  18 lb red spring and a small soc

   madness........  but I love it   looks like there is room for 2 fishers between the guy in the camo waders and the guy in the blue shirt and pants

THEY DONT BITE !!!!!!!!! THEY DONT BITE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY DONT BITE !!!!!!!!!!!   ;D

Well said......I too am one of those beleivers that think the colour of wool is only used because it's the only chance us guy's can legitimitly accessorize with Pinks, purples, yellows, and neon colours.   HAHAHAHAHAHA

Type of hook is important.  Some hooks are better for hooking then others, sharper!  Should make up another name for Peg Leg,"Gong Show" is an understatement!  Wednesday was almost worse I have seen there!  I will never go there again!

I manage to avoid the 'GONG SHOW' so far.  I'd been fishing tidal waters for sox.  You are allowed to keep 4 per day. ;D :P

In salt water they BITE..BITE..BITE..BITE..BITE..BITE..BITE..BITE..BITE.
