They look better that way.. 
Nice fish and pluggage! |

No, they don't look bad to me for twenty fish. |

Here's one from a few weeks ago (when I still knew how to fish) that ate a Tagger needle......... the best needle I've ever fished (although his large ones are damn good, too).

A similar sized fish from the summer (one of only a few I found) that ate one of those parrot musso clone darters I carry on about.

Great stuff George!

Just for interest. Note the color of the plug and time of day.

Here's the plug that was working the other night. (fish pics in habs tally thread).
These little plugs have broken many a skunk. Weighs about 1.6oz, made of maple, casts a mile, and will reach the bottom. Affectionately called: stubby squid needle.

Chrisjoe, this fish? Very cool, please tell more. Tail-weighted? Also, I'd be interested to hear how you fish them deep.

Spent the day slumming with lowlife from Franklin and eating P&J chew toys.
Prof M with a lido flaptail fish (after he shed 3 larger ones).
BB with a slim danny fish (before he nailed a much bigger one).
Pretty plugs, ugly mugs.

Yup thats the one.
They are tail weighted (I roll lead flashing around a wire) and there's also some lead in front of the hook.
As far as fishing them deep, they sink so I just let them. Retrieve as slow as I can bear with occasional twitch (to confirm contact).
second picture is a few in need of epoxy, first is of few that have caught plenty (mostly small). |

These two 30s were caught on a custom made gold and copper stubby squid needle made by ChrisJoe13. Both were PBs ... in the same night!

LOL. Good for him. He needed it. He was a little bummed when I saw him last week at the canal, especially as Dave was releasing a 30 lber, and he told us he had been all over creation and hadn't had much luck. Was saying to myself today that it would have been a nice day to be out in the boat.

Nice G. I know exactly where you are. I got a little memory left. I was wondering if you had been getting anything in your neck of the woods lately. Nutin better than getting a fish on top water, especially one that size. I hit the canal this morning before I did some family stuff . Deader than a doornail but a beauty of a morning to be out there and not more than a handful of fisherman out there. Looked like most have given up for the year. Guess I missed the memo.
