Thanks for the info guys. I tried the Rapala cd14 in green mac.

I prefer not to troll too much, but there's no good bait at the bait barge, and as everyone is aware, catching bait right now is tough. I spent 30 minutes working the sabiki yesterday and only drove away with 5 baitfish, none of them being macs.

Just FYI: If you have time before your next trip, check out eBay. Since Rapala discontinued the larger sizes I went on an auction spree bidding on every CD-18-22-24 that I came across, I bid on avg. about $18 each. From some sellers with more than 10 available I made offers for 5-10 at a time and got them for much cheaper (found one mid-west retailer with an overstock of 24's and bought 8 for about $14 each)! I have at least a dozen green Macs in each size now. I also managed to find a number (6?) of purple and black CD-24's for Tuna, Hoo's & Dodo's.
Just something to think about.
