Last week on vacation I found some wood caught fish worthy of some pics.
First one was my copy of the Pichney large white Danny that I turned thinner dia.. fish was 47" and most likely 40 plus lbs. The next fish was just slightly smaller on a med white old version BM danny I made. The night before this I had a few high 20 lb fish on the white med danny. They were fished 3 cranks, pause, twitch another 3 cranks, pause. Seemed to do the trick.

Couple nights later the first pic is a mid 30 lb fish caught on a really cool plug. It is an over a foot long needle made by a gentleman from Conn. that I got in a trade. Gigantic is the only way to explain it. Was really fun using that plug and the fact it floats allowed me to fish it real slow with a lot of pauses like few nights before. Fight was great but the fish put the siwash thru my finger landing it, lucky I crush the barbs. The next fish was the best of the few nights. I wandered away from the few guys I was fishing with that night and again the med white danny just twitched on the surface and reeled extremely slow was the ticket again. The fight was one of the best I have had in years with tons of drag being taken on several great runs but being only sand in front of me there was no anxiety of losing the fish on rocks or structure. Very enjoyable. All the above fish were revived and swam away. I do sell fish but it was quite rewarding letting these fish go.

Nice Vacation you had there PM.

Was that sytle of retrieve with the medium white Danny something new that you have been trying recently or just what they seemed to want that night......and how many other sytle retrieves did you try that night before finding the one that worked?

friend said he got a good one night before on the pause so I used that info. It would not be the way I would normally fish a danny. I like a slow retieve on a danny but the way I was fishing it never really got moving like a danny. Took a good 4 minutes plus to get the plug in from the end of the cast, super slow. It worked for the first fish so I stuck at it . I had been pissed I had left the dark colored danny's at home in Lakeville too and only had white. Glad I did. Learn something every time out.

Here is how big the needle was. Hangs out of my bag about 5 inches

Thanks guys. I don't want you to think this was some kind of premeditated plan of attack. I had run out of places to find decent fish and took a shot. I had gotten a little intel the day before but intended to waste some time there anyway being free of the constraints of work. Bottom line is fish swam by and I caught some. No fishy swimming by I end up home early and not back there again. Got to love Lady Luck sometimes.

was it like fishing in Alan's shoes watching Paul catch them and not you?
I'm sure you handled it well though George, you even took pictures

nothing better than fish on wood
wood is good
thanks for letting them go Paul, I hope they survive the gauntlet this year

I have not had much chance to get out and fish this year but when a friend called and told me how good it was the night before, I had to go out once I got home early enough from a night out with the wife. I credit some good karma from donating 2 units of red blood cells that same day. It was a new moon and I tied on a black needle that I think was made and given to me by Diggin Jiggin Dave Ross.
My personal best from a beach(I have 3 40's from the canal) it went almost 46" and 35 lbs on the boga, she lives to fight another day. Thanks to Folifish for the photography and lighting

One of george's Hab's clones, I have very goo dluck with those in yellow... It looked like maybe the tail hook pulled I landed it with the treble in the side of its head. I was Surprised it didn't pull.

It was maybe the fattest fish Ive ever caught. Pics suck, crappy cell phone... 38lbs and released...

Amazing.........and embarrassing a bit since I hardly ever fish those needles. Guess I'd better rethink that.
