Is O.D. Mike the new Beachmaster?
 

While fishing with Fishbones on Mother's day morning I was outfished 5:1. I must admit it was very frustrating watching seven landed fish from my buddy before even producing a strike.

I asked him what that brutally hot lure was and it turned out to be someone from the sight. O.D. Mike produced this beatiful slender spook that the Stripers just couldn't resist!

Hats off to both Fishbones and O.D. Mike!

P.S. Mike I want one!

Allright Fishbones
 

Lets see it, put it up. Spook us.

Here's a pic of it. I told Mike I was gonna test it out for him because he's been very generous with getting his plugs in my hands. He also puts in a lot of time building and sharing ideas and tips with others, so I was happy to get some fish on it. The funny thing was that I tried a few other plugs and they were getting swirls and some bumps, but no hook ups. For some reason they really liked that particular plug. I ended up with 10 fish in about 3 hours on it and none on anything else.

Fishbones caught fish? Whenever I fish with him he just puts his hands and his pockets and watches me cast?

O.D. Is that the Frog Tape Plug?????

I was only watching you cast because I've never seen anyone using a push button Zebco reel at the Canal. By the way, I stopped fishing that morning after I caught a fish and was ready to go. It was about 40 degrees and pouring rain with 20 mph winds.

those are what us men call "prime conditions" :jump1:


serioulsy, congrats on a good start to the year.

Uh-oh... This is how the Sebile crazy of 2011 got started. Better get the Vega to work Mike.

I saw his newest creation last week. It also looked very nice.

looking forward to checking his stuff out...

Congrats OD Mike... its the great color and the action on that Spook... I could have used some good plug mojo today .... 3 diff spots 0 fish... and i donated 2 of my plugs to the plug gods... one canal special and 1 sweet darter that I really liked

Mike has the talent but w/o the head issues:hidin:

Yes.
Jim, that fish pictured is a Striped Bass (albeit a small one) that you have heard so much about. Now you have seen one, go catch one.

Thanks everyone!!!

If anyone got a spook from Plugfest this year from, myself, PRBuzz, Johnny D or Fishbones, you got one! I only made enough for plugfest. I will get back to turning tonight!

Dennis, the frogtape lure is a large canal special.

Bart, almost done with your swimmers!

What color Drew?

If Drew is Andrew, any color you make. Please.

Some one gave my 2 year old a spook at PF,I might have to do some testing for him. (hehehehee):devil2:

I would be crazy if I didn't request a clone in color to fishboners plug as well. Considering I usually out-fish the fish boner 10 to1!

Mine must have gotten lost in the mail.

I think I gave all mine away at PlugFest!:smash:

You should of kept one... now they are in demand... they have mojo..

take your time man, I'm in no rush. And I have a bunch of siwash hooks with feathers for you. Thanks again...

I'm gonna have to do the Yakuza finger trick on Johnny D to get my two needles. . . . I have just the cable cutters for it.:uhuh:

Still working out the paint, Makai!!!
 

Thanks everyone!

Bart check your emails!!!! We are going to need your tail hooks!

Keeperreaper, don't have your address......

ChefChris, that's a secret spot, don't tell anyone:rotf2:

Top to bottom pink stripe danny 3oz, tiger maple needles and to be painted needles.

The mack is a 8" spook 3oz. works better in slow or no current. Casts as well as you think it would.....

Wow! Mike those look fantastic! And we all know your plugs produce. Screw the leather hat biz and focus on your exceptional talent...:fishin:
