Theo’s Sand Eels
Striper fishing is picking up along the Jersey coast, and our friend, Theo Bakelaar, has been tying his Eel Skin Sand Eels for a shop in Ocean City. These flies really are tied with freshwater eel skin, and they are extremely effective, as our past fishing experiences have shown. Eel skin is very tough and “swims” very well when wetted, and perhaps even gives off a bit of fishy odor. In any case, they look great and they fish great.
