Wow, this makes me sad! Perhaps Sauerkraut is right: the best way to catch big bass is with an eel - or put an eelskin over a plug. I wish I could contribute, but the only plugs I use in my business are manufactured by folks such as Gibbs. And any custom plugs I have I keep for myself - and I don't fish anymore!
Please help me with some plug love.:love:

recent catch that was puking up herring (I sense a theme here)
got it on one of Chucks' heavy spooks, at least it is wood and not plastic.

I can't bring myself to fish eels from shore only from a boat sometimes when I get invited by some generous friends. I do however enjoy catching on plastic almost as much as wood, have to give them what they want sometimes.

Nice fish Bruce.

I have a few pics from my camera that I needed to resize. Its been a pretty slow first half of the year for me. I found a few nice fish in early june when I took off a week to fish but had no numbers just a few large fish in an otherwise very slow week.. (like 2-3 hits/night and that SW wind we seemed to have every night made it really tough to hook anything).

The only problem with that is you will:
1 have to resize as most pics from the phone are several megs and John's site has a I meg limit and :
2. You may have to store as a JPEG as most phone (at least my 'droid) store pics in a PNG format.

I think he hit the teaser and missed.

Posting a few updates that were caught on JLH's plugs. Sorry for the sucky pics, since Jay has been in the hospital with his son I've been mostly fishing solo.

This fish on a needle was nothing special, maybe 20 pounds, but on the subsequent cast I hooked something I couldn't stop and was eventually broken off when it took me deep into a boulderfield. It could have just as easily been a 30-pound class fish that was snagged as it was a cow, so I'm not losing much sleep over the fish. I was more pissed at lowing the needle than the fish as it was one of two special giants that Jay made for me based off the old Red Fin perch pattern.

And here are a pair of fish landed on a JLH maple Donny that has ben very productive for me this year. The one with hook in the back of the fish's head was 33# but felt like a tank due to the hook placement. I was getting a bunch of weird hits and dropped fish before landing this one that night. The bass were either having a hard time zeroing in on the plug or they were just looking to kill it. The other one hooked properly in the mouth was mid-20s.

Nice

Got a dozen fish in a row on a Swimmer pencil popper recently, I think this is one Frank gave me made of some ash I cut up for him from his tree. Great plug!

More fish in the dark on Numbskulls' darter

Got a nice fish on one of Chucks' Linsider69 darter, a real early one I got from Stewie, thanks Stewie.

Great plug

Got a 36lb fish on my medium pikie, pretty stoked on it.

Will get some pics up soon

Yeah I know they'll say ditch fish don't count, but if you know how and where to fish metal lips in the ditch they slay.

Thanks Bruce!

Warriors of battle. Nice going. Those 4/0 hooks.

Thanks Billy, yeah 4/0 mustad 5x

I just pick ed up 3/0 Mustads and they size up to VMC 4/0. I saw the broken hooks. Now I wonder. I'm changing because of a heart breaker now I see those. Geez!

I am still catching fish after fish on this darter I got thanks to Stewie that Chuck (linesider69) made a long time ago.

I went out last night to a favorite spot I used to fish a lot and was reminded why I don't fish there anymore, a line of people. So I went west, way west and fished the whole west tide. Got fish on the first cast on darters by Chuck, this yellow one and a dark blue mackeral one too. It took a while to fish thru the schoolies to get a decent drag burner and some other decent fish but worth it. I did not do so well jigging. I was glad to have a few poles worth of real estate to myself when this fish took off. Not as big as I thought it would be but that is plug fishing.

Chuck, make some more of these please :)

Took a nice bass (31lb) on the wooden magic swimmer I built.........then dropped it overboard the next day. It sinks and sank :fury:

Big predator doing its thing.

D'oh!! Still must have been nice to catch on it George. Nice work.

Attachment 64650C'mon guys and gals - It's October and other than George and Slipknot, nobody has done anything this fall on their plugs or some they got from friends who do the wood thing?! Where's Larry with a BigFish showing? Where's Paul with a flaptail fish or two? Or is George right in saying that your talent lies in a plastic plug, God forbid? (Actually, I made that up!)
What about the rest of the crew? Or have eels and Sebiles, SP Minnows, and Savages stolen the soul of the dedicated plug tosser?
Just to get thing started, no monster, but a photo of Tom Worthington who caught this on a R M Smith Jackhammer along the islands on Monday in heavy swell that made dodging rocks and working in tight interesting in order to avoid one of those rollers breaking into the boat. It proved to be a good day for keeping track of what was behind us!

I made a small 3/4oz. pencil popper earlier this year and have been taking lots of fish on it recently. I really just had Albies in mind when I made it but it has been working well for keeper bass when there on peanuts. The bass in the picture is 38" and was a decent fight on my albie setup.
Also been taking lots of fish on some darters I made this year. The other night I had 10 bass on this yellow over white darter, which was the only darter out of that batch I didn't hydro-orientate. My buddy was struggling to catch any bass on a super strike darter not 15' away from me.
It's been a slow year all in all but fishing is starting to get hot in my area.

My time on the water has been pretty limited this year but I did manage to fool a nice bass with a skonrad earlier this month. Not a great pic, I realized after releasing the fish that the camera lense was all fogged up for the pic. Oh well!

Nice to see and so deserved.

nice fish Jay... cant say I'm surprised!

Nice fish guys.

A few from our 10 days on Damariscotta Lake in Maine! Angie and I caught some nice largemouth on the "Mayhem Minnow"! These are just a few pics!

Got two of these today on metal lips while bass fishing. Incidental catches. Both were larger than all but a single bass I found.

Friggan Awesome George!
