Al Gag's Lures has generously contributed several different sizes of his popular soft plastic bait, the Whip-It-Fish, as prizes for this year's My Fishing Cape Cod fishing derby.
These lures are made to work the bottom of the water column. You can fish them at the Cape Cod Canal, at inlets and out on the boat or kayak.
Pictured below is an assortment of 4 ounce Whip-It-Fish, which is a good all-around weight for jigging the canal when the tide is moving at a decent clip.

Aside from the canal, Whip-It-Fish are also good to use for working the bottom of the water column at inlets. The smaller 1 ounce and 1.5 ounce are perfect for jigging most inlets and/or casting from the beach.
The 2 ounce Whip-It-Fish pictured below could also be fished at inlets. In addition, the 2 ounce would work well for jigging at the canal as long as the current is not moving too fast.
Last but certainly not least are the mackerel pattern Whip-It-Fish, which Al has also contributed as prizes for this year's derby. The mackerel pattern was very popular during the 2017 season at the canal.
The My Fishing Cape Cod derby begins May 1st and will run until 11:59PM on October 31st. There are several different categories and levels of prizes up for grabs.

Tight lines 
Al Gags was the jig (2oz)Whip-it Fish , that caught me my First ever canal Striper !!
Nice Stephen! They work great at the canal for sure.
Also, it is terrific to have you back onboard MFCC ??
Just fishing upper buzzard’s this morning, and the only thing we could get the schoolies to hit consistently were the smaller Al Gag’s–1/2 oz 4″ or so.
I can second that. I’ve always had good success with Al’s baits… especially the mackerel pattern.
Sounds great Jim, thank you for the update.
Any action the past few days for you? Have you been out?
Yes, the action in upper buzzards was very good over a wide area this morning (Monday). However, I didn’t manage any keepers. I suspect there were some among the acres and acres of schoolies, because I saw some bigger splashes and swirls, but I didn’t get anything over the low twenties. There are adult bunker aplenty in the area, but the fish seem to be on smaller bait. The al gag’s was good again, but I experimented with larger lures to see if I could draw bigger fish. Couldn’t get them to bite an SP minnow, a large hogy, an MS etc. but they liked albie snax.
