So, any plug-caught fish pics?

Hi Paul - Thanks for the reports; I was beginning if big wood had gone by the wayside with all those Savage Sand Eels, Whip-it Eels, SP Minnows, and Stick Shadds around. I fished with someone the other day who will only throw topwater; she loves nothing more than watching fish blow plugs out of the water. Maybe when you take up guiding, I will hook her up with you.

Some spring/summer fish on custom wood before switching over to eels/rigged eels. Metal lips did well and needles did really well. Fished a bottle from Glen and had several nice fish on that as well.

My most productive plugs from this season. Various colors but the same plugs.

Super slow sink needle I made. Great for skinny water.

Clone of a 6" Pichney Danny I made. I was able to get 3 lips from PM as they're not a currently produced lip. Great plug except it swims better with tandem 2/0's and I prefer 3/0 but they marry.

Slim swimmer which is my bread and butter. Just a stretched out musso with a lefty 1 lip. Same weight but made 1/2" rather than 3/8". Not sure if stops it from rolling as much but I keep making them with the shorter/fatter weight.

GooGooman's bottle. Perfect plug for big water. some nights I couldn't through metal lips and my darter was just tumbling I pulled out this plug. Bites well and work it with the slowest retrieve possible.
