Pumpkinhead Flatwing
 

Got the idea of this one from Thanksgiving dinner...

I have just the place to fish it up on the Essex River, 3AM, 2 hours before low tide. Only 5 more months.... Nice slow dead drift with a floating line.... Mmmmmm.....

Sweeeeeet!
That thing ought to look great in the drink!
Are you going to catch a fish on Halloween with it?
I made a black and orange cockroach style for bassing on Halloween a few years ago.
BTW, nice job!
