It's good to see that the senior members of the Falmouth Fishing Doctors' Club are still up to big things! It warms my heart to see them working in tight with big wood that my anglers will cast about six times before saying, "Can we use eels?" Had one person reeling a Danny so fast that it was subsurface and spinning - and that's someone who likes to throw plugs! For what it's worth, fishing doesn't suck - it's much harder than it should be or at least given what it was 20 years ago when I was spoiled into thinking that it would never stop - I should have known better.
What I love is the characters who said they could always do it by using their one "perfected" method of fishing, but now chunk pogies and join the fleet using eels off Sandy Neck. Oh, well, I am going to stick with the casting and fly fishing no matter what because I am stubborn, if nothing else.

Picked up a 35 inch bass on a black Danny pre dawn Tuesday. Still my favorite swimmer in the dark. Almost always start my day with it. Usually catch too. Love throwing wood, my dad's, the local small run guys and finally the bigger guys. All good and all depend on how the lure and I feel. Changes every day, every tide.

30 inch on a stubby needle that my dad made about 5 years ago. Caught then and is catching now. He has been gone 2 years now, but that lure said to me this AM "take me out of the bag and use me, you just grabbed me for a reason". Caught her on first cast with it this AM.

Nice catch, Bill. I have always appreciated your dedication to using your dad's plugs. From watching you in action, they still have his mojo that translates through your hands into some really nice fish caught.

Here are a few pics of fish caught on needles over the last few months. A needle with an eel skin on it got me my best fish of the season (so far) but the plain ones produced some pretty nice fish as well. Not the best pics as I was solo most of the time.

Thanks! It's been fun fishing and catching a few on my own plugs. I got out last night for a few hours and got this one on a plug loosely based on a musso surface swimmer which I've never actually seen in person but found some info on here in the forum. I really enjoy fishing the metal lips but I drop a pretty good number of fish on them so they don't get thrown nearly as often as the needlefish.

Another great one. Metal lips are my fav to fish especially along the islands amongst the rocks.

Judging by the hook swing on that swimmer you fish it plenty and that is a well earned fish.
It is really cool to see someone who already was very accomplished with eels exploring what they can do with plugs. |

My biggest bluefish of the year from back in August. 17+ pounds on a JLH needlefish. I thought I had a monster bass on due to only having the single hook buried in its throat. Damn thing almost killed me on the fight.

I thought these pix were cool...I built a beefy darter for a windy spot with strong sweeping current. On this night the lure did its job.

Thanks, and I agree numbskull
that was 3rd fish of night, first with my wood. Tide was dropping fast, and could not keep big bucktail (that cut wind) off bottom long enough to sweep through. It took several casts to cut wind, dig in, and sweep through...but when it did, BAM!
wish I had more time to build and test
