Just because they sink does not mean they have to be worked fast. My favorite way of fishing them is in a nice chop on the water. Can work them in seams and work it slow while popping it.
My least favorite way is around trees and throwing by hand......

thanks monty. ao basically a slow retrieve with intermitten pops. ok I will give er a try. I did notice with my sinking creek chub popper that it had some nice movement in the water sub surface as I was bringing it in.

I get it to the surface quickly, then swim it like a metal lip a few feet then pop pop pop then swim and repeat (this can only be done with the 2 3/8 SS model black eyes). If blues are the only game in town get it to surface quickly the just pop at a moderate pace. The floaters have a tendency to fly out of water.

I have CC striper strikes sinking poppers also, in pearl white(red eye they call it)that cheap a$$ plug has bailed me out many times,it is just one of those plugs that just work when nothing else does.(Especially in the back bays and rivers)I've noticed with sinking poppers that they will raise a bass and they won't hit the plug just follow it until you give a slight pause and it sinks just a bit they nail it.SS are the ticket with plastic plugs but that CC is always with me.

Interesting what kind of fish is that? looks like a kingfish but skinnier.

The Super Strike 2 3/8 oz Sinking Little Neck Popper are rockets.
This morning they liked this color.

I like to either pop them on top until I raise a fish if they won't commit I stop it and let it sink then they will usually slam it.In darker conditions if they won't take a metal lip I just swim them with an occasional twitch much like a floating needle reel some twitch and so on.

I am really getting tired of this winter....
Looking forward to fishing the SS Darters more this year

Thought I'd see you yesterday^^^^

Thought I'd see you yesterday^^^^

Was in crazy rush, had to be back home by 11:00 and watch grand kids, was 10 minutes late . Was in and out pretty quick, fast walk through and out.
Got what I went for (SA needles and CCW small dannys) and was out. Amazed at the line, moved relatively quick, but was long. Past years I usually bumped into a few from the site there, didn't see anyone this time.
Think that is the only show I can get to this year, too much stuff going on. I like the Berkly show best too. Trip to Arizona for work coming up, likely means that the weather here should warm up when I leave, my timing is usually atrocious.

well hopefully you got home before all the snow. Took us 2 hours to go from the college to Barnegat. Then I had another 1.5 hours home.

Got some limited addition needles that Steve at SS painted just for Surf Day Show
