    beachmasters are good, I also like the slopehead swimmers. They are pretty versatile. I will use them for almost any kind of bait at night except for when its a pure rainfish bite. They are a great all around plug for targeting bigger fish. Nice pic monty.

    With the sad disappearance do the bluefish inshore this fall I have been throwing 90% rubber lately.

    Does anyone think with the mullet and big bunker around it is a good idea to be casting these right now? thanks

    What finchaser said. Dannys and metal lip swimmers are great when bunker or herring are around in large enough numbers to get fish in the mood to chase them. Unfortunately NJ beaches have less and less bunker blitzes because most of our structure has been buried by the acoe. The recent storms pulled some sand out and exposed some rocks. I don't think we will have a lot of blitzes in the future like we used to have.

    That big plug mentality works best where you have big bait regularly moving in and out of an area. This is only my opinion. I have caught most of my bass this year with bucktail and pork or small profile offerings.

    Last fall on the SS when the mullet and peanut bunker were moving through metal lips were money.

    No disrespect but Super Strike doesn't make a metal lip swimmer. I assume that was what you meant by SS

    I did not catch many fish last year on metal lips.
    A few blues on Rip Pluggers metal lips and a bass bass or two on his Side Winder.

    I did not get in on the mullet action in 2015.
