OTW this AM
 

Anyone catch OTW this morning? They were fishing the west end of the canal with pencils. Nice to see some "surf" fishing for a change. definitely got the juices flowing. just wish they would have got some shots of the fish hitting the plugs....

That show was on awhile back. Wading, a good rip, nice bass and if my memory is correct one of the fisherman made his pencil poppers.

Agreed, good show.

great episode. makes me want to start making my own plugs

I liked the episode when clammer took them out whale watching.

:laughs: :laughs: :laughs:

I believe the camera angles were trying not to totally burn the spot so they could not get a straight out shot of the bass hooking up way out. Dave makes some sweet plugs and is a real good fisherman :btu: That episode has been on a few times.





if you're serious, I can help you get started. It really is cool and rewarding catching fish on your own plugs, addicting too.

This was the episode that made me start making my plugs!

Thanks Slip, I really appreciate your offer.. Yeah, I've been seriously considering it for a few years but never took the plunge mostly cause I didn't know where to start. I'll send you a PM.. thanks

makes sense

episode was good. Made me go tie some leaders yestrday.

That 38# on top was a nice fish.

That was precisely the reason. I thought they did a good job obscuring it. That video was taken during the legendary mackerel event two years ago. I fished at that spot for a week straight and it was the most amazing fishing from shore that I have ever experienced. The night before they shot this video I lost the biggest fish I have ever had from shore (unless it was foul hooked). Fought it for a long time and she finally broke me off around a rock. Whenever I see this episode of OTW TV and I see Chris Megan get that nice fish it always brings back the memory of the one lost and not the other tons of fish I caught that week.

figured it was from that week. :fishin:

That was a very memorable week at the Canal.. Along with Columbus Day weekend a few years back, its doesn't get much better than that!! :drool:

Indeed Bruce, Dave (aka Diggin Jiggin), does make some sweet plugs, especially those canal special pencils!!!:drool:

I thought that was him. Although I don't know him personally, I recognized his face immediately from pics posted on here. nice work DJ :kewl:

I'll gladly burn the spot via pm to anyone who's interested...of course this would be in exchange for some back issues of yankee magazine or the like.
