So it's about time to set up shop and start building for next year. So how did everyone do with last winter's plugs?? The good and the bad.

I'll start, Big Pikie's (8") worked out great and caught many fish in the spring, Made Atom 40's and Jr's, the 40's rolled out in rough water so I did some weight changes...Jr's I was very happy with. Nike's and Goo Goo's produced some fish during the summer and I will stick with them as they are. Bottle swimmers worked out well but no fish on them since the fall here was Needles and metal. My smaller needles produced but a larger semi Musso style did squat. I am pretty happy with all the plugs I made and I guess it's time for Darter's, this should be fun!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year too all.

and thanks to the Prof. for all his help.

The poppers did nothing for me.
The little 5" darters became a go to plug.
The others odds and ends I built never found a role in the rotation.
