Porgy, first one that comes to mind is a guy using a double shad rig when the surf had 4' waves crashing on the beach. That didn't work because the fish were out further and you can't get casting distance with a rig like that. Metal was the ticket that day, and the furthest casts got the fish. As told by OGB.
Bunker head on a Hopkins:
The 2nd recent one is when I ran into Roger, his Dad, and their 2 friends one afternoon in Ocean county this fall. They had bunker heads and huge bunker chunks on their Hopkins metals as they threw them out to wait for strikes.
I thought they were nuts, and they were, but in a good way.
Big blues, and some bass, had big schools of bunker pinned tight to the beach. The only thing they wanted was meat, and these guys figured it out. They were catching while everyone else was "watching".
Here's the story of their day:

Moral of the story?
Don't judge what someone else is using or doing unless you're sureit won't work.
