Fishing Lure

Albie Snax rigged with BKK Titan Rider hook,

 I busted out of my November doldrums today in a big way.  I had good numbers of stripers along with my biggest fish of the last month.  I just knew this northeaster would produce because this type of weather was so good in the past at this time of year.  My big surprise of this rainy day was a 40+ inch striper.  Add to that a slot, several near slots and some schoolies. Finally, lots of action.

I found the fish but getting them to hit today was a chore. After countless casts with a jig to breaking fish and no hits, I decided to go with a white Albie Snax. Yes, these lures catch more than just albies.  I had used them on and off in the past when dealing with fussy fish.  Mine was rigged with a BKK Titan Rider hook, a set up I have written about on this blog when using plastics like Slug-gos and Finesse Fish.

You work this skinny plastic just like any other weightless plastic. Cast and reel in slowly with twitches of the rod tip to make the lure dance.  Every once in a while, stop. Expect many of your hits to come on the stop.  This bait is a great imitator of large peanut bunker and small mullet.

Here's a slot fish taken today on the Albie Snax.
