Got a few 20+ lb fish at Cutty this weekend on my plugs... the parrot darter was great at night and caught many fish . My red headed yellow pencil with white belly scored a nice 10AM 20lber after Johnny Duckett got a very similar one at daybreak on a pencil

Here's a couple from Cutty

Bluefish on a Spook made at Biteme's Place
And my PB from the surf on the First pencil I built at Biteme's place. For reference the set of wraps past the reel seat is taped out at 34" :jump:. It was the first bass I had ever caught on a pencil as well.

This thread needs a kick.

Here are some from the last month.
First is a @#30 fish that ate a yellow musso darter clone for my son
Then a fish that ate a banana just before I got hit by lightening
Then a pair of low #20s that hit simultaneously.

There are still fish out there guys. Anyone else fishing?

Sgt Striper 08-09-2012 03:49 PM

Banana!! Doesn't look like your normal white or yellow one. You have a new hot color?

ProfessorM 08-09-2012 05:00 PM

Nice George. Looking forward to get back to fun fishing.

3 bass on Bill 's lures (my dad) that I caught this weekend. Have not been fishing too much earlier this season, but started more frequently recently. Great to catch fish on his lures.
One from MV on his Lido Flaptail (lure almost as big as the fish). One on his classic black darter. The last was on his Purple Pencil popper. Fish absolutely devoured it. All released healthy.

Nice fish, neat story.

hardcore from shore 09-09-2012 10:22 PM

No fish yet but these are ready to go

Bill just etexed these this week. He did 2 Parrot needles, knowing I wanted them for the Block next month and also left the red Cedar (from an old limb in his backyard) natural because it just looked so good. (He has 3 more to coat). I will hit MV for a few days this week and next and see what I can hook up on his lures. Hopefully next pictures will be of lures with fish, but since Bill had not been feeling well it was nice to see him feeling well enough to get back at finishing some lures. Thought you all would enjoy seeing them too.
Bill

BigFish 09-09-2012 10:38 PM

Those look awesome Bill! Best of luck with them and hope your Dad feels 100% soon!!:uhuh:

I enjoyed this one. BIG surface hit on a copy of a Bluestreak popper. Just as I imagined it while building them. Made up for getting blue-balled by albies today.

I had built these a year ago but used them very little. Turns out the plug floats much like a pencil, tail down and mouth about an inch out of the water. At first I did not like it and felt it was too tail heavy, but today I realized that it means you can work the plug like a spook as well as a popper. Really neat plug with oodles of big daytime fish potential.

My plug works !

First cast this monster jumped on...

The plug is 8" long, and a bigged up copy of the Twisted Flaptail, sans flap, and weighted to walk the dog. Atlantic white cedar with no belly weight, just tail.

ivanputski 09-16-2012 09:01 PM

That plug looked so nice in person...

numbskull 09-17-2012 05:31 AM

Nice plug. Gotta admire that little guy's spunk.

ProfessorM 09-19-2012 05:19 PM

Nice one G. and Woodrow and hardcore

No camera this morn but I got a 25 lber on one of my small Musso copy darters with the concave slope in canal. Took several fish on it actually but the others were not real noteworthy. It was cool and something I will use more often.

Zeal 09-19-2012 08:08 PM

Scary how bass will try to devour something it would probably choke on. Gorgeous fish and gorgeous plugs! Now this is making me hungry....

Goo Goo Man handcarve, first cast with it. Too pretty to fish, but that's what he built it for and this is what happened.

bart 10-14-2012 12:39 PM

Bronko 10-14-2012 06:08 PM
