Got this low 20ish fish this morning on a 2.25oz skinny pencil in "great white" color scheme. Pic doesn't do the fish justice, but it went airborne several times during the shallow water battle and was a real pretty fish when it hit the rocks.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

This guy inhaled an OD Mike 2.6 oz. pencil last week. That plug's done pretty well for me so far this season with bass and blues.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Watch out. This daytime plug fishing will spoil you.

Always been a fan of Bigfish pencils, so did some over the winter and tweaked them for what I wanted. Second cast from the dock fooled a just legal fish.
