Custom Wood Fish 2013
 

OK guys, let's see what gets eaten this year.

Here are a few to start it off.

First is a 30" fish that liked a 5" darter off a quiet shallow beach.
Second a 6" Musso clone and a somewhat better fish that apparently was on its way to P-Town.

No picture but a 30+in. on a "Numbskull" 5" darter. White. First cast, nevertheless.

Had success with pikies last spring, so I replenished my stock with a nighttime color.

Been catchin most of my spring fish on top with a bigfish 1oz pencil, that counts right?:huh: nothing really over 35" but plenty of em. And on the pencil yesterday got my first blue of the season... NOOo0o0oooooo... too early!

Jeeeezzzz guys. Save some fish for us NorthShore boys!! lol I love the "only 35in" comment. Man, I need some fish! Nice fish everyone!

I'm only good at catchin fish less than 35" So I gotta try and soak up the glory when I can :)

BTW fellas we got lots of blues comin in more every day... I dropped one in the rocks... whoops he'll get out with the tide its fine :devil2:

Smallest pencil in the bag comes through again.
 

Very cool morning with a water temp equally chilly, my toes were cold standing in the water!

But after making a diligent effort, switching from plug to plug to plug, Larry's 1 oz. pencil came through so I could get my Jones' taken care of.

This was my first keeper sized this season on a Blondterror plug. One of my canal pencils red head, yellow upper/white belly. Fish was 15 lbs on my boga and 32-33 inches.

Nice fish, Chris. I had a lot of luck with the yellow red head canal pencil you gave me a couple years ago. But, it's a bit beat up from all the fish it's caught, hint hint.:)

Yo FishBones.... that BT plug you have has great Mojo now... fish it with pride... change the hooks if need be

Nice Chris.. I know what I'm using,!! the plug you gave me at the fest!

I must need to sharpen my plug ho'ing skills, lol. I was hoping you'd put a 2013 model BT in my hands. I'll definitely keep using this one and hope I don't lose it. I've already changed the hooks a couple times.

No pic, but got into some bluefish this a.m, with a small pencil I finished this winter. Felt good to be on the board.

Visited my dad Bill's marker that was just installed this week at Bourne National Cemetery Friday then caught a 26" bass (missed several others) that afternoon on his yellow pencil with his signature red throat. Will be throwing a lot of his wood this year ( as usual). He and I always talked about me " visiting" him when I fished to cape, an easy promise to keep. Looking for 1st 2013 keeper on his wood, but I am sure it will come soon.

Very cool!

Bill I am turning up somewhat similar long green needles such as what your dad made for you and was so successfull on the island. Just thought I'd let you know. Peace

Got this one yesterday off the buzzbay shoreline on a 3.25oz gibbs pencil copy:

I'll bet that felt good. A little time for yourself likely comes hard these days.

good show Mike.

Good Stuff Mike I love the purple hues in that fish!

that looks like a real slob!

looks way better on the comp than on the phone. beautiful shot

It is an absolurely gorgeous shot. I am going to print it out for further consideration and attempt to paint the pic.

Good times.

New PB!
 

Shade over 33 pounds on one of my medium "Double Shots" in a Creek Chub Silver Flash! Also a 14 pounder I caught and kept first for the table........the biggun is for the chowdah pot!!:uhuh:

Way to go Larry.

Got this low 20ish fish this morning on a 2.25oz skinny pencil in "great white" color scheme. Pic doesn't do the fish justice, but it went airborne several times during the shallow water battle and was a real pretty fish when it hit the rocks.

Nice Mike!!

Nice fish and nice plug, Mike.

This guy inhaled an OD Mike 2.6 oz. pencil last week. That plug's done pretty well for me so far this season with bass and blues.

got a bm clone from Kurt goette from the other site, hes the guy who runs their spring fling donation/fundraiser

took it for a test this am and it worked great,

19" and 39" fish, both for daves tourney

Watch out. This daytime plug fishing will spoil you.

Always been a fan of Bigfish pencils, so did some over the winter and tweaked them for what I wanted. Second cast from the dock fooled a just legal fish.

Wow......thanks Ross I think I am blushing! Love to see some pics of your work!:uhuh: Congrats on the catch! It does not get old does it?!!!

squid colored, little more weight in tail, moved hook hole forward just a touch. But it is still a Bigfish!

How about we call it a "NightFish" or a "BigFighter"! LOL!! Looks great Ross! Go get em'!

Nightfighter mac patern last years plug fest swap.
Got a bunch of mid teen fish and a few low 20's. this the only one I remembered to take a picture of
Also killed a 30pounder on Christians ballerina. But lost the plug on the next fish.

Thanks for posting that Mike! Very cool to see stuff work!

I also want you to know I put a couple plugs in the hands of my friend, Jarrod, who was a survivor of the Marathon bombing, including a few you gave me. He and two of his friends are fishing them while recovering at Shaughnessy! He wheels them out in their wheelchairs! Both brothers lost legs.... Jarrod was more fortunate, but still has a lot of shrapnel in his lower legs.

Here are a few

First a small fish on a pretty day that ate a pretty plug , one of Ted's (Greek) spooks.

A 10# fish (good for me these days) that jumped one of Franks (Eskimo) medium skinny donny swimmers (with a downsized lip).
