Lessons Learned from 2012

[storminsteve]

Sandy was a *****!:2flip:

Bunker didn't make everyone a bass fisherman in 2012
A lot of the cell phone guys did not get a trophy as the bass were only in the jetty area for less than 10 days.

Sandeels are manna from heaven, without them things were tough for the fall.

Lets hear yours

Caught a few Gators in 2012 :) . A way lot more Blues than the previous two years, actually the most Bluefish I ever caught in a year.

Sandy sure was a *****! in many ways.

Beaches have a lot more structure since Sandy.

Caught more Stripers on Plastic this year (Mambo Minnow, SP Minnow and Mag-Darter)

Wood is good but IMO plastic is better always swims the same

Rubber is the best

Keep a lower profile so DS can't mug me


Always fish up wind of DARK most important

Rubber is the best



X2. If folks learned how to effectively fish rubber and bucktails with pork they could do away with a lot of the custom plugs. I have caught and released bass up to 40# on them.

More forage less bass not great with the blues either from what I hear.
