Minnow Plugs: An In-Depth Perspective

- In this video, I will be discussing minnow plugs and how they can play an effective role in my surf bag. Specifically, skinny water back bay applications is where these plugs thrive. Although back bays are where I typically throw plugs of this type, never shy away from experimenting in calm to moderate surf/ inlet conditions with a select few. These types of plugs pull fish anywhere from schoolies and slots all the way to cows. Interesting enough, my personal best was caught on an sp minnow weighing in at just about 40 lbs. Furthermore, there is no doubt in my mind that minnow plugs can be an effective tool in finding big fish as well. If you liked this video, please subscribe to my channel, thank you.
One my all time favorites are those mag darters you can steady retrieve or put a little action to it.
I snook fish south Florida during the mullet run and all year and fish mag darters just off the rocks in the inlets which works great cause the shape of the head just bounces up off any rocks you contact instead of snagging.
They're great plugs
I watched this video and enjoyed your explanation of the swimmers. Can you talk about your rod and reel setup? Line and leader? I’m primarily a kayak angler, but joined a solid surf casting group and am trying to learn the ways of the sand walkers and rock hoppers. Nice job hanging a 40# off a swimmer!
As a young guy I used to use the ref head red fin all the time casting the jetties off Long Beach n Atlantic beach. It caught lots of fish but it never casted well. Maybe 150’ max lol. I had a 9’ Hal brown lami with Penn 710 filled with 20# Berkeley big game green. Lol. Boy how things have changed
Amazing how times have changed with the advancements in technology. Also amazing how these plugs have withstood the test of time cause they simply pull fish. Look forward to seeing you at bay park this spring tight lines Joey 🎣💯
Truth be told, the minnow in small,size and large size have caught me bass, fluke, and blue fish. One of the cheapest plugs and yet one of the most productive.
Hey Nick, love your videos! Just starting to learn,quick question I fish over by the jetty by Reynolds channel. What would you recommend a minnow or a darter
@surfcastingtheisland4914 Love your videos. I'm new to surfcasting and I'm looking forward to your next video's. I'm going to fish primary on the south side of Long Island. Jones beach inlet, bay and beach. Occasionally the rocky north side. What size minnow plugs, poppers, spooks and swimbaits do you recommend?
Anything in the 5-6 inch range i prefer, thanks for the support.
Hey man great stuff. Do you ever use the sinking SP? If so how often, in what conditions and in your opinion is the action much different?
I use the sp sinking very rarely,,,usually stick with the floating model. If I really have to cut through the water column, a bucktail or a needlefish is much more effective. I appreciate the support 🙏🏻
Can't wait to hear what's you favorite popper ......Fish on
absolutely
