Couldn't begin to count how many I've caught on my own lures. Thousands of blues --- into the hundreds of Stripers

nailed em

first day I really hammered them was today on my plugs. after catching the first fish on a yellow spook, I snapped it off. this plugs got some serious mojo cause on the next cast with its brother(another spook) I hooked the line and got it back!!! put it back on and managed about 50 fish throuout the day . largest at 40 inches about 25 lbs!!! tell me it wasn't worth it now!!

the most uncommon thing you can possess,.................. is.............. common sense!

Pretty much all I've used for the last few years has been my stuff or stuff I've got in swaps from other builders. Have not caught a monster on my stuff yet, but know a few guys who have caught some pretty good ones on them.

Here's one from my fishing trip at the beginning of the month. These were all caught at night in a nice 3 foot surf on the the S Shore of Nantucket. We were only one em good for 2 nights, but it was a great time.

In the picture is my Dad, Jim (an old family friend) and myself.
Dad and Jim were fishing my slim yellow danny's, I was fishing my larger fat black one.

The fish weren't huge, 33-37", but how many 86 year old guys are still out there fishing the surf. This was a really sweet night. The past few seasons we haven't been able to get Jim onto any good fishing but we kind of lucked out and found some fish near where we could park so he didn't have to walk too far or fish in a crowd. He ended up with 3 keepers, and a few good memories...

Hey diggin-jiggin, that picture really brought a smile to my face, thanks for sharing it with us. Those are the memories of a life time. And it's also encouraging to us all
