Nice P. and BF. :btu:

P. you ride your canal bike down from your house. :huh: :D

Good catch Al...maybe I should take you up on your offer!!!! Congrats!!!!

Nice fish, and plugs, fellas. I caught a perch in my backyard today at lunch :hs: Keep the pics coming.

43" pencil fish, got it at dusk tonight on the twin to the pencil I posted with the mangled hooks. Good thing I made 2... If it's 30 it will be my first 30 on a pencil. :jump:

beauty.

George you did what you like and that is what is important. I personally didn't work hard for the fish, other than loose sleep. I am lucky to have several friends, mostly retired, i have got to know over the years that keep me in the loop. They called me on Sunday night and then on Tuesday and told of the issuing fishing, although i do mark those set of tides on the chart months in advance. I would have to give all credit to them and i hope I can reciprocate the info this year at some time fishing my favorite areas.

Got this lastnight on one of my yellow dannies. Its not huge, but its a nice high-teen fish on a homemade, i'll take it. This is an awesome thread, lets keep it going!

16 lbs. on my pencil popper .. I'm Wearing my Prof. Moriarity disquise..

Watch out fish, Eddy has got his groove back.
Looking good, Mr K.

Eddie, Slingah got a fish on one of your swimmers, chum clone, on Friday. Larry must have gotten a picture. I wish I had black hair again.

Nice fish. Tagger, you disguise makes ya look like Ringo in his glory days....

RoyL got a pic...I'll post when I get it..:wavey:

Complete slayage on one of my own pencils last week. Over 80 fish up to 33#.

Your a wild man Mr. Orlando ,,brother Gibby .. It would look so nice "Ditch Troll" where it says "registered user".....:kewl:. nice Mac pattern ..

Munch, munch. That plug is a spot burner all by itself. :kewl:

Youare a sick man. Thats great T. I took about 8 pictures of other peoples fish on friday and none of mine :wall: I wont let that happen again!

Nice.......

Eddie, nice fish and nicer plug. :hihi:

The law is closing in on you that fast. :huh: :D

BTW- what's with the Michael Jackson glove???????

Gloves for marathon braid casting,,, use the other one for thumbing braid on my conventional after I noticed the groove in my thumb.. Surprised you didn't mention the lipper .. Boga made my 20# fish a 16#...

It's' funny how much you can be off sometimes. The past 2 years my boga's let me put back a bunch of good 27-29# fish that were shy of the 30 I wanted for the striper cup.

Nice plug Tony. I was using something very similar, in pink too. Got to luv the hawg hunter type pencil for the canal. A proven slayer. Does it sink or just barley float?

44" on my pencil this morning. Probably should have weighed it in for team S-B but couldn't bring myself to kill it considering all the fish we had last year were bigger than it.

Barely floats at an angle Paul. Nice fish Dan

WTF, the one you gave me didn't catch anything over 30". Must have been a blem you were trying to get rid of...:laugha:

Probably because of the 7/0 you rammed through its eyesocket. :tooth:.

$25, and no discount at the Plugfest.
 

Anyhow, the plug is paying itself back. That's more than I can say for the rejects I scrounge out of the Numbskull's and Flaptail's garbage and refurbish.

The plug: BF 2.3 Prey surfster lip.
The fish: 20-12, 39 1/2", ALS tagged No. 158844, and released.

Bonds to all who love the gene pool enough to release them.

Great pic Sauerkraut! Nice fish! I love that plug.....its a killer! Thanks for posting the pic and congratulations!:kewl:

that picture is the seeds...

Next time use the reel. Diving in and grabbing him with your teeth is unsporting.

since the celtics are whackkin' it about now, thought I'd catch up on putting up some pics of plugs of mine that have done some damage on fish for me this spring so far.

on the right is from top, a pikie I made a bunch of, a RM Smith danny that the bass wouldn't leave alone, then a spook modeled after a jigman spookk in that olivy color, a pearl white pikie I made, then a junior from Mike Thomas at M&D's


the right side has 3 plugs, a killer mr. pogie that swims amazing, then an awesome rockfish9 dater that catches even in the daytime, then a howdy I made.

2 more pics

the mac pencil worked well in the canal


the little swimmer is a chumbucket and the fish trashed it hitting it so hard, the belly swivel broke so I had to re-wire it before next time when it continued to attract the bass.

Oooo, Slip! The jointed Nike!! Heck, they're all awesome..

only one fish away from the mini slam on my blue head spook.. Caught my first bluefish this season last night. It was awesome, the thing jumped like a tarpon and nailed it. What a cool sight and great feeling. All i need is a tuna on it and I'll have keeper bass, bluefish, and tuna all on the same plug. Anyone wanna take me tuna fishing?

hmmmmm...sauerkraut with a white plug...that is what I read in his article....nice job....

Nice Bruce, did Jiggy authorize that spook? Looking good

From the hook marks on the spook, I'd say slip got it right :btu:

Hey, anything that hits a pencil is ok in my book :tooth:

yer kidding me:rotflmao:

Photo contest for a free plug?
 

Slingah put me on to a photo contest whereby I might win a free plug; but he suggested I may already have enuf.

Is it possible to have enuf plugs? What makes ya think I have enuf plugs?

Nope, they'll actually hit them pretty well :tooth: How about a Redeye (I think you call them Rock Bass up that way) on a pencil:

Or a Mud-marlin on a topwater prop bait

Jigman

The fact that you'd trade them all in a second for another eel trap and lifetime supply of horseshoe crabs, maybe? :bl:

hey kraut...it's actually a large aquaskinz bag stuffed full o'plugs....you never have enuff...unless ur Flap....he has too many:rotf3:
