There is a guy who fishes up by you I think. He is in Ct too. He has a blog that's interesting. His name is RichZ. The other day he was talking about stripers only hitting rubber of a certain size. If it was too big they would not hit it. So I guess that makes sense.

^^^ That is absolutely true for where I fish. There are places where it's only spearing and minnows. You throw a 5 or 6 inch shad you will catch. You will double your catching by just keeping it simple and using the basic fin-S. Too many fellas want to complicate things. KISS.

Can I believe my eyes? The famous heavyhooksetter is now changing presentations to match the size of the bait. Using the "plastic for boys"? The end of the world must be near.
Just kidding you, man, you are a good fisherman and I enjoy your reports. Sometimes you have to change the size of the presentation to match the hatch. I do it all the time.

well,right now I consider it a continuation of late fall and in late fall I put the big stocks back in the rack and take down the lighter winches[300 series shimano cardiff reels] and throw the small stuff,,,simply because the larger fish seemed to vanish.
every so often I will get a 20 on small plastic plugs and then comes the time to show skill in fighting a larger fish on light tackle.
I prefer to fish for larger with big wood though,,,gotts be flexible.

wow you are really crushing them. pardon me for asking but do you live near an aquarium LOL?
you feel you do better on rubber or plugs this time of year or is it evenly spaced?

LOL,if I lived near an aquarium,I'd tell them to stock it with bigger fish.
I always carry both and I throw both.
now,when I have my bigsticks out I only use big wood or 3 oz BT's mostly.
I do have a few large rubber that's 9-12 inch shads with 3 oz leadheads.
when they are larger fish the wood normally gets them to slam.

when I am using the lighter rigs rated up to 3 oz I will use both normally.
