Ive had a few sessions fishing at night with lures during grunion runs that resulted in bites and hook ups like you wouldnt believe
Expensive does not always mean better
By deploying a combination of downriggers, planer boards, dipsey divers, jet divers, and lead core lines, anglers can cover a wider range of depths and increase their chances of encountering active fish
These include, fishing in really deep water, using rigs weighing more than 8 ounces, using large spoons and diamond jigs, targeting large stripers around gnarly structure, leadcore tube and worm, and fishing for tautog in wrecks
They're soft and only last a couple fish at best, but they straight up work
