Oh NO! Another pink worm convert. Congrats Rob, they like those things, don't ask me why. They're great to fish when it's cold and you don't want to keep rinsing your hands to clear off egg goop.SS

You think plain pink worms work?
You should try the new salt saturated ones by Outlaw. Killer!

You landed a dark fish Rob, it's probably time for you to put the rods away for the year. After all, it's what you tell everyone else to do... [img]graemlins/dork.gif[/img]

Great job!

I tried out the pink worm today also. Had one violent take down, but when you forget one time to mend your line, that's when you are bound to get hit! [img]graemlins/dork.gif[/img] :blush:

I'll get one yet on that thing.

SKP :grin:

I should add I was drift fishing them NOT under s float.. no take downs to miss they bite it just like a bait of eggs. The fish I caught had the worm long enough for me to feel it... reel down make sure and set up.. the rain seems to have stopped there might just be some fishable water in the am :smile:

Rob, all I've ever done is drift fished it. Maybe one of these days I'll try a float with it.

They do like 'em.

Last year I was fishing this spot when I decided to try a pink seducer. Second cast, missed one. Fourth cast, fish on. I was dragging the fish up on the bank when it broke my leader and got away with the only worm I had on me. I switched to eggs and four casts later, fish on. As I was fighting it I thought I saw something pink in it's mouth. When I landed her she had my pink worm!
