Hi
why don't you just fish with a 2 hook rig and an anchor 5oz weight with some
Mackeral, Squid or Worm on it.

You'll catch ALOT more fish than casting lures constantly.

Maybe. Though I find it rather a chore cranking in all that line to find out
whether a three inch pout has hung itself on.

In general in the areas David is fishing a moving bait - lure, floatfished,
flounder spoon or at least twitched over the bottom on a light lead will
outfish a static bait (except maybe for soles, dogfish and eels) until
winter storms colour the water and for a little while even then.

I saw bass, scad and pollock taken on lures last night all fish between 3/4
and 3lb. I spent most of the evening wading for a larger bass but although
I saw a couple I couldn't interest them :-(

Cheerio,
