Captains Andy and Rich spend mid-November morning off the
Connecticut shoreline experiencing incredible non-stop blitzes.
Hundreds of screaming birds, and dozens and school bass and big blues,
all on diamond jigs and teasers. In addition
to hosting the show, Captain Andy runs
Long Island
Fishing Charters and Captain Rich runs
R&G Charters.
Both boats leave port only minutes from these very same waters. The techniques and tackle in this show
can be used by anyone who wants to get in on the fall diamond jigging bite.
If you have questions about any of the equipment used during the show,
please contact us
or send us a message.

| The outfit used consisted of a
Shimano TLD 15/30 reel on a 7'
XH (extra heavy) Compre rod rated for 15-39lb test line.
This combination is capable of handling diamond jigs up to 8oz and had more
than enough muscle to handle the biggest bass and blues.

|
|
| The reels were loaded with
50lb
Spiderwire Stealth.
The thin diameter and lack of stretch were perfect for this type of
fishing. The rig we recommend consists of a dropper loop tied into a 3ft
length of 40lb
Berkley Vanish Fluorocarbon approximately 24" from the a 4oz
hammered diamond jig from
West End Fishing Tackle. The
flat shape of these jigs is by far the
best and most effective we have ever used for bass and blues. A
teaser was added to the dropper loop consisting of a 5/0 black
Mustad
Ultrapoint Beak Bait hook and a
Mister
Twister Exude scented
Crystal Slug in variety of colors, all of which were very effective. The rig was attached to the main line with a 230lb
SPRO Power
Swivel. |

| All the tackle used on
Northeast Angling is stored in
Ameripack tackle
systems. The Backpack Tackle system is used to get the tackle to
the fish! All the rods and reels are transported using the Rod
Pods and the Reel Locker. They insure that everything makes it to
the shoot in perfect condition. Their versatile Fly Boxes are also
used for bucktails and rigs. |

| Even though most of the fish were
school size, every now and then the right fish came along and a
Frabill
Powercatch net with it's extendable handle was used and ensured that
none of the fish were lost at boat-side. This is a a great net that stores easily and all
you have to do is slide, lock and
load and it is ready to go! |

| Capt Andy and Rich wear polarized sunglasses supplied by
Azores Eyewear.
Finally someone has come out with a premium sunglass line at a reasonable
price (less than $80). The polarized lenses eliminate glare and allows
anglers to spend long hours on the water without having to worry about
headaches and eyestrain. All models have 100% UVA and UVB protection.
Never settle for anything else. No angler should be without these
glasses. |
