really!? shows what I've learned over the last few months....I only bring this up because whenever I troll a greenback and reel it in to remove eel grass, they go right back to running away, peeling line as they do.....

I agree that spanish are tougher than the greenies and have caught some toad calico on them more than once. :shock: I think whatever bait is present is the bait to use but when given a choice I will opt for the greenie. I don't really know why though. Maybe because a spanish will last longer in the tank and if I had to I would probably rather eat the greenie!! :lol:

Spanish are much tougher when it comes to crowding in the bait tank. Never had one die in the tank. When I cram my bait tank I always have a few greenies roll. I have caught half my yt this year on spanish and half on greenies. I know at least one big wsb was also caught on a spanish. That being said I still prefer to troll a greenie when I have a choice.

There's some days that size seems more important than type. I remember one day where Lamb caught about 7YT on big, big greenbacks. My small greenbacks went untouched, so I put out the biggest spanish I'd ever caught and was picked up within minutes. It never hurts to try something different. I'm gonna try flylining grasshoppers this weekend.

I caught my third WSB last year on a half dead smelt and my first halibut on a dead sardine. The first rule is there are no rules. Go with what you feel confident in.
I prefer to troll greenies because they can keep up if I pick up the pace. A hard charge will usually do a spanish in, unless it's a big one on 'roids.

I like greenies better because they've got fewer spikes to jab me with! :lol:

I find the sea lions don't eat the spanish as well as the greenbacks. Less spines I would guess. Fish with what you catch for bait. They all catch fish. As stated before, you must fish with confidence.
