I spoke to one of the tackle shops in Saugus. They highly recommended using mid sized shiners. They said I would catch more fish and quicker with them. Maybe just a sales tactic? Anyone use em? I have always just used em for icefishing.
Thoughts?
Sorry I have been posting so much. The boredom of not working days has set in!
on a side note....im in the service industry also and yes...absolutely yes....the hrs mess with you. some days im waiting for the sun to come up so i can head out and fish while other days i am unable to get out of bed before noon to go out. can be frustrating for sure. good luck. take care. eric
sure live shiners will catch em. most days you cant beat live bait if thats your thing. i think sooner or later though you will find there are so many other artificial baits that work well and add more to the experience that you will want the challenge of going after them that way instead of just bait and wait fishing. Using live shiners also seems to increase the chances of the hook being swallowed and damaging the fish's vital organs so if you are a catch and release fisherman/gal then be aware of this.

Ive never used live bait unless ice fishing. I have an arsenal of rubber worms that have always worked. But this year I am having no luck. But thanks for the info! I appreciate it!
The hours have definitely effed with me. Im the same. Some nights I am up all night and fall asleep around 9am. I had planned to go fishing this morning but actually fell asleep and woke up around 5:30pm tonight. Every night I dont know which way its gonna go lol

I've never worked service really..but I do understand the shift thing. I drove fork lift for a while for a Keebler Kellog's logistics place in Pennsylvania...worked 7 pm till 7am shifts loading trucks, 2 days on 2 days off...blegh.
Sluice Pond in Lynn BLOWS!!!!!!!!!!! I will never go there again good luck.
Well help a girl out! Where is there to go? If you are more comfortable you can PM me so everyone doesn't have to see it. I wont tell I promise!
I personally would head a few minutes up the road and work the Putnamville shore line wall off of rt. 35. A good mile of shore access with both largemouth and smallmouth.
