Here is a decent fish from a really good night several weeks back that ate a black danny. Been a banner year for danny plugs.

Nice fish George. A big fish on a metal lip is still on my bucket list but I don't fish them as much as I should.

Beautiful fish there George,and on a metal lip even better 
I got this one on a plug I got from Johnny in 2006, one of 3 plugs from when he first began making plugs. I modified it then with some weight in the belly, and yesterday I added some lines on the sides with a sharpie.
It is offset turned and does a tight spook action. Sorry for the weird angle from a cell phone pic, the fish was fat and did not have a snook front end to it like it looks like. Anyway, great plug by a great guy! Johnny you rock. |

Really cool Bruce.
This small darter from George kicked butt until a 26" fish got it stuck in my hand. With a friends help I pushed it through and cut it off, swam back, switch spots and got another fish on it.

Damn, sorry to see that.
Here's a nice fish on a big 8" needle I made last winter, experimenting with a low line tie. It seems like needles are turning into my 'go to' plug this year.

Nice job. That color needle your favorite too. Seen a bunch of fish caught this year on that color CCBay side.
Nice Frank. Ouch Frank.

Got this 41" bass on a pikie I made. It's a lose copy of a GRS, I handmade the lip and weighted it in the belly. Swims real nice.

I have been crushing all season on these 2 new plugs I have designed specifically for fishing from my kayak! Been doing 90% freshwater this season but they have been stellar from the salt as well! Had more fun with these 2 plugs this season than any other in recent memory!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Here is a 46.5 inch 26.5 girth striper caught on one of my dad's Stubby Needlefish (in black he built from Dave Anderson's Fisherman Magazine article years ago). First cast on it after 15 on a white magic swimmer (all shorts). I will never again say a full moon is too bright. Visited my dad at Bourne National Cemetery this week. Thought it only fitting to use one of his lures. Nice that he and I are in the same neighborhood. After the photo op she swam away fresh.

Rarely use a tail hook on his stubby needle or his darters. After seeing almost all hits on front hook. One less hook to deal with in the dark for a quick and safe release. Do the same with some swimmers too (even plastics).

As usual I fished a lot of bait this summer but now that tournament season is more or less over I've started putting in some time fishing the needles I made over the winter. Took a few outings to finally land anything on them, skunked once, and dropped a couple fish on another outing, but finally connected last night with fish of 22 and 30 pounds (and dropped another decent fish). Have to say that I'm not used to dropping so many fish, maybe that's why I don't usually fish plugs...

Or maybe that is why you should fish plugs. I think you are starting to learn. |

Challenge accepted! I stuck with just fishing needles every outing last week. Had at least a couple fish every outing, nothing really big, mostly high teens to mid 20s and one 32 pound fish that took a green needle. It's been a lot of fun seeing how they perform in different areas with varying conditions and catching on something I actually made is great. I've even starting considering what color to throw, never had that problem with eels...
Now all I have to worry about is not running out of plugs before the end of the season. |

Yellow Danny
I turned a half dozen of these yellow dannies last year. Due to family obligations and work I haven't been able to get out as much this past year. In early Nov I got out before sunrise to witness nice size fish cruising the surf line chasing bunker schools.
Everyone was throwing yellow darters and bottle plugs. So, I follow suit and I can't catch a thing. After 5 to 10 casts with each plug I throw on my homemade "slim" yellow danny and on the first cast I catch a decent size bass. Screw that factory made stuff!
