Do I see a flap tail?

Been awhile since I have seen a post anyone catching on homemade wood?

Here is one....BigFish Pencil in Bunker.

I'm trying, but I'd need a magnifying lens to make the pictures look worth taking. :wall:

And a bag over your head.

:rude:

Numby, you're the funniest guy that I know. And I know some real live wires...:rotf2:

Nice bag George,,,better watch the green police they be asking you why you didn't use paper.

HAHAHA too funny

Fresh Fish!!
 

3 1/2 pound largie this am on a 1 oz. "Prey" swimmer! Fish cleared the water and took this plug before it even splashed....NO LIE! My rod was still in a downward cast motion when he hit it!!! Nice fight from this guy!!! Great morning in the yak!!:drool:

Nice fish larry

40 pounds on a Pencil Popper I made.

KAAAAAAPOOOOOOWWW! Nice catch.

Thanks george. I took a nice mid 30 on the lipless swimmer you made. The fish was released so you can catch him. Nice job on that plug, rolls a little more than the original musso, but the fish don't seem to mind a bait being tossed around struggling.

Thats a great fish to be had on top water. What does the sideways peace sign mean again?

Eskimo,

Never forget that strike and explosion.

The sideway peace sign is for a tournament that is run on another site (not sure about posting other sites here so I will refrain). Its catch and release so you can weight the fish take a picture with the sign and release the fish and still be eligible.


Kindest,
Billy

Way ta go Chris!!

I haven't been carrying the camera since the phone 'incident'. I've had a few fish on darters and pencils into the low & mid 20's, but nothing over 30 since the end of may...

I've not had any over 20 since November :smash:

Nice 40lber

Inches or pounds?

Both.

Good lord, you've got Backbeachitis.(Actually my form of suffering is worse as you inexplicably catch nothing at all while others around you tong away) There is really no known cure for this as prayer, plugbuilding, and community service are simply feelgood elixirs and have no measurable effects.

My advice is to simply state you don't fish anymore due to family, work, and personal issues. Eventually, and the day will come, you'll sneak out the door way past midnight, undetected by the masses, eels in hand, and within a few short hours all will be right again...keep the bag on your head though if you decide to collect photo proof of this phenomenon.

Actually, eels are even being snubbed with all the pogies being chummed about in the sounds and around the Elizabeths. Highly suggest going at night, which is when I saw someone who looked suspiciously like Sauerkraut launching at the Woods Hole ramp. The gentleman in question wouldn't let me look in his cooler to see whether he had pogies or eels in there, but perhaps it was a plug bag filled with wooden goodies that he had aboard!

Was he wearing a hospital issued mask and rubber gloves?

Actually, he was wearing what looked like hospital issue scrubs, but no gloves. Then again, he did look like he was trying to get in a little fishing before his next surgical procedure.

Did I Put A Curse On . . .
 

by having a dedicated flyrodder (my preference) and eel-slinger (out of necessity) post on a plug thread?:biglaugh:
Hope I didn't offend anyone, but I sure hope somebody is catching some nice fish on wood after all the great work I have seen members exhibit over the years.
Please give me some hope that wood is still good . . . and can catch even with all the pogy chum in the water!

Floyd Roman Nike Jr. Fish!
 

Finally tossed the Nike Jr. I made this past winter! Caught a small fish in the ditch this am on it! Great action! Very cool plug! Never fished one before!:uhuh:

Stumbled across this in my travels.....42#, slim donny......otherwise it is a steady diet of 12lb fish.

Awesome fish Numby.

nice fish numbskull - nicely done
