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!

JohnnySaxatilis 05-12-2013 09:46 PM

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:

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

johnny ducketts 05-16-2013 04:51 PM

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.

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

numbskull 05-23-2013 09:37 AM

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

ProfessorM 05-23-2013 07:35 PM

ThrowingTimber 05-24-2013 07:20 AM

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.

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.
