I got my first fish of the season on a copper spook that was in the salties box of blem/unfinished bodies . Not big but first fish of the season on my own plug, pretty sweet way to start off.
Didint crush the barbs cause i didnt think any fish would hit it this early in the season, there crushed now.

I hate you...and your darters too. The dog's paw in the top right certainly authenticates things though...nice going.

Do New York fish count?
Thanks for the inspiration on this site.
Nothing great but it's a start to the season for me.

Hey guys,
More of a lurker here, but I wanted to post this in the thread because whether or not you guys are aware of it you have inspired/helped me a ton (mostly through using the search). I took this fish and 5 others last night on my plug, fish fish on my own plug that I have made start to finish!
Thanks again!

Hooked isn't the word, haha. I got to stick two more tonight on the same plug. Although earlier in the night I casted away the one darter that I finished into the deep thanks to a knot deep in the spool I could not even say, should have maybe changed the line this year . I guess I will have to finish the four or so other blanks I made as that plug was meant for montauk!

Woody... I did not use your skinny today but it would have caught blues if i used it... I used an eelie repro in herring colors yakking on the South side of the Cape and the blues could not leave it alone... 7-9 pound choppers about 300 yards off the beach while yakking.. water is already warm with the sun the past few days on the shallow sound

Hey guys,
I assume this won't count for a trophy but I wanted to share. The season opened this morning in WI. The first time I have been able to test any of my new plugs with hooks on them, so I went to the river to tune the new baits up. First cast with my new custom "Bluestreak" flaptail and bang
A gentleman that lives across the street from the river came over when I pulled up and was inquiring about the baits,"never seen any like that before", so I explained that I make them, casted out and bang.
Now mind you, no tape, no net, nothing but plieres to the tune baits. He runs across the street and gets a net and brought a tape as well. Laneded, measured but my camera phone locked up
A gentleman walking by took the pic with his phone...no measurement photo, I just wanted to get her back in the water.
43 inches and fat, first cast....the bait runs great, and so did all the others I tested. Damn good morning.
Buy the way the blood is mine, hard to land a nice musky from shore with little equipment
I hope everyone is having a great season opener
MS

Glad to hear you didn't feed my plug to the vicious savages.
Ted The Greek did however- and one kept it !
Oh, the 'yuck' is for the pic of shark bait next to the plug.

MS that fish is amazing!! Great to see and especially cause it's on your own plug!!!
That plug is sweet looking too.
We need a swap thread on this site!!!
Chris that plug is nice man, looks good with teeth marks!
Hope you bleed that bluefish and soaked that filet in some milk.
Awesome stuff guys!!

Thanks a lot guys
She tore my left hand up pretty good. Not easy getting a 7" bait completely swallowed, with two 3/0 trebles buried in a soild bone mouth with only a channel locks, in enough time to get her back safely.
She is fine and my hand a small price to pay for a day long rush
Good luck with the new season,
MS

Caught on a Blond Terror canal special pencil. Thanks, Chris! Only fish I got last night, but I had another viscious hit on the same plug. This one measured out at 33" and was released.

Here's a couple from yesterday. My first fish on a spook, nothing great but it's a start. And here's a pretty good fish on a pencil. 42" 26# on the boga.

First cast=pow, then nothing.
Made one cast and partial drift with this 7.5" pichney stlye jointed eely and hooked right up...figured I was in for some fun and it turned out to be my only fish of the night. Still, its likely bigger than anything Numbskull has caught this year thus its a victory (albeit small) for me on mulitple fronts.

Here is one of several recent bass on my Dad Bill's needlefish
After seeing all your work at Plugfest Bill really got into the scaling effect that he saw you guys doing so he made this 9 inch 2 1/2 oz green needle. It has gold scaling effect, his signature red throat and a cream belly. Casts really great. Floats and makes a great V wake. I picked up this 31 incher Sunday night and a 28 incher Monday morning. As you may know bass have been tough to come by on the Vineyard lately (also got a 31.99 incher -just under Derby size-on one of his black darters as well 2 weeks ago). His plugs keep producing, still looking for a really big fish on one. Maybe in RI during the MS Surf Challenge next weekend or Tri-State the following weekend. He is working on a few more black darters now, still going strong. He also does micro glitter since he saw that at Plugfest.
This "Hospitality Bass" became filets for the friend who provided the weekend room for me this weekend and 2 weekends ago.
