enjoyed seeing everyones fish last year:cheers2:looks like it may start early:hihi: 5 inch pikie one of mine this mourning 4/6/09...from work

Yikes! It is starting already?~!! I still need to put hooks, not to mention paint and epoxy, on all the stuff clogging my cellar.

:btu:
good going Ed
that's what we make them for

gonna be a month before we get any migrants.... just cant get juiced for 12" holdovers...

Nice Job Ed.... I can almost gaurentee my first plug caught fish will be on a spook...

thanks for the input
 

there moveing around looking for herring..not sure if there fresh or not...this one's smaller on a Mac pikie...they think the sewer discharge is a herring run:D

Well not a custom plug, but a jig I made. This one went 23" long and had an 18.5" girth easily 7+ pounds.

good going eddy spaghetti ... :kewl:

Looks Like The Weather
 

Got some guys out on the water today! This is a Greek plug that was real good to me last year also.

Did those bucket mouth bass jump for you?

We try to not let that happen. Many times if they get air-bourne is when you see your lure fly out of their mouths.:tooth:

for real.... i have never seen lmb that big in my area :eek:

Wayto go guys! Im lovin it!

First Striper 34"s
 

Of the season for me. I found this little Greek swimmer in my bag after going through an hour of watching fish sipping. They were on worms or shrimp and I had nothing near the size they wanted. Found this one in the bottom of the bag. Cast and just let it sit, Bam. Saved my night.

Got out for the first time this year and had good results...7 hookups landed 4 up to 36" in a little over an hour all on one of my spooks. First picture is the first fish of the year and the other one is a 36".

Cool fish, guys. Gotta laugh at your's Bill........Ted spends all that time getting his plug to swim right and you catch fish dead-drifting it.

And 229, a 36" fish for 5/5 when fishing out of Pembroke is no small feat. It is 5 days later and I've yet to break 28"...........nice work.

Finally a 1/2 decent fish. Took a cloud Conrad Jr on an otherwise slow night. Great jetty plug.

Nice shot George, I can hear your helper in the background.

wow
 

big fish:claps::Dwood rules:D

Nice Fish George
 

Pretty pooch too!:kewl:

After spending way too much time on them this winter I finally got into some fish on darters last night. Nothing to brag about size wise yet but atleast they work...

Nice going everyone!

I hope to shake the skunk off in the morning, had a fish on last week, but lost it... that'll teach me to be lazy and not change out dull trebles.:doh:

Skinny 31"
 

Wanted this GooMan Danny.:kewl: Thanks Glen:heybaby:

Nice fish George and the rest of you bumm's.
Got a 37" on my brainstormed, bastardized, spook. No camera though. I have high hopes for this week as the fish should be bigger in this area and I will remember the camera.

took a 30" this morning, not on my own plug, but on wood none the less, sorry no pic, but it was so crappy out this morning, it wouldn't have mattered. Lure of choice was a little white darter. the skunk, she is gone. :btu:

Caught this one tonite, on one of my Pink sided eel danny's, same color that Bill Couch caught his on, it was actually his color idea, so I figured I better make a couple of them just in case the fish like the color. :jump:

Finally
26# (I know, it doesn't look it)
yellow bottle

awesome fish, your finger looks like its tongue.

Great Fish numbskull! Looks like you were dressed for a COLD night in the water I fished last night as well and the wind finally died down around 11:30 on the back side of Cranes

34" on one of my 5 " spook

Chilly out there???? Great fish!

Thanks, guys. You give me hope! Trying NH opportunities this weekend if I either get a turkey on Saturday or give that up for the moment. J

Nice fish George. I finally got my first decent fish of the season last night. 25# on one of my black darters...

Oh yeah. Of all the plugs you can build, knowing you got a darter right is always special.

my little bunker pattern spook has outfished everything in my bag so far, even at midnight last night when all else had failed, worked extremely slowly it produced...

Nice catches guys. Some pics from last week. The shallow water, top water fishing was to die for with larger fish each time I went out. The best day I forgot the camera. Anyway my yellow howdy in red cedar is my usual go to plug, thanks John, but had very good luck with the spooks I made over the winter like the red headed one and one in yellow and a green top white bottom one too. Also had real good luck with a yellow howdy that had the bottom flattened like a hawg hunter. Caught pissa but a fish stole it on me. Had a different action, which I liked. Its all about the strike for me . You could take the hooks off and I would still have a ball.

you guys are on fire.

even though these will most likely be the only two that I lay to rest for this season it still doesn't make it any easier...first two legal fish on my own wood.
