Winter Blackmouth Fishing

The reports that we have been getting from the saltwater has been fairly good for blackmouth.  We have heard good reports coming from both Possession and Satchet Head areas of the Possession Bar.  Jefferson Head down in Area 10 has also been kicking out good numbers of fish.  Most of the fish we have been seeing are in the 6-8 pound range with a few fish pushing into the mid teens.  Most of the guys we have spoke with have been fishing Tomic or Silver Horde plugs in both the 4 and 5 inch models.  Colors have been tending toward the 600, 602 and 603 models in the Tomics and the color 60, 61 and 62 in the Silver Hordes.  These colors are all basic "Glow" plugs of the Mother of Pearl varieties with Chartreuse or Lime Green enhancements.

Spoons fished either by themselves or in conjunction with a flasher have also been productive.  Give a White Lightning Cream, Cookies and Cream, Irish Cream or Lemon/Lime Cream a try.  I generally fish them by themselves without a flasher.  By doing such I am able to fish lighter gear, making the fight more enjoyable.
