In the past week I've had 2 300g hammered first drops slammed by what I suspect were triple digit AJs...both fish quickly took 24 lbs. of drag into the rocks and parted 130 lb. leader. The hammered jigs are hot!
I too would love to see a long, big profile hammered or all silver jig come out from ET.
Stellwagen Haddock
Eastern tackle 300gm
Accurate 870
500gm Mud-hole custom by Mitch at "Devocean Custom"
Sweet rod. THANKS
Nice to finally get out. Short but sweet day. Getting tuned.
Dang ...Knife. That potroast gets around.
We don't have those fish in quantity here in the mid atlantic (at least not target recreationally) so I think they are cool from a variety standpoint.
Cassidy, the long hammers are coming. You can just drive over and get them when they arrive. I am going to get my passport renewed next week, or at least submit the application.![]()
Yea I saw all those fish caught on the potroast figured Id give it a whirl. Had to change out the hooks for ground fishing up here. Nothing like the AJs you guys catch but these Haddock are good table fare. Had hoped to see some Cod too, maybe next trip.
Bluefin are many weeks away. Stripers any day.
Just digging the jigging...been a long winter.
