Artificials 98% of the time.
There are the odd times that I'll dunk eels for stripers
(What's harder than taking and ell off a hook? Putting one on a hook!)
or killies and squid for fluke (summer flounder)...
Or pick up my daughters spinning rod with bobber and hook to mess with the b'gills...
So I won't say 100% of the time.
Damage done from one fish.
I think is was a false albacore, note the hook point...
That was brand new, first cast into the water.
The top plug is a retired bluefish killer.
Looks like the dog played with it
While looking for the other photos I found this one of my jig box.
