Playing and Scoring at a Finesse Game

I've got several NLBN paddle tails ready to go.  These three inch lures are deadly when the stripers are feeding on small bait.

Last evening I was fishing an area with about a dozen other fishermen.  Yes, the word it out. I was using a NLBN, three inch paddle tail along with a half ounce jighead. That bait worked wonders, and I would guess I caught as many fish as all the other fishermen combined. I was the only guy using some type of jig. Many of those other fishermen were casting big topwater plugs.  I don't get the fascination with using a big plug when the fish are feeding on small bait. They caught a few fish, but could have really scored with a more finesse-type of approach and smaller offerings.

On another evening this week, I was fishing next to a friend who was fly fishing.  This fisherman was also scoring real well with the fly which was some type of peanut bunker imitator. Fly fishing is a real finesse approach when chasing stripers that are on small bait. 

Here's a slot fish taken on a NLBN paddle tail. This has been my hottest lure in the  last few outings.
