Fish caught on your own plugs? - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

no pics, but, no complaints either....

had some schoolies, some keeper size, and bigger,
and a nice one this year

but no camera on sand for me.
I caught a bunch of blues on my stuff too

Best thing by far this year, was coming home and having a message on the answering maching from one of the kids that got one of the 100 plugs I donated, he, and his dad left me a nice message, telling me of the nice striper the youngster had caught... I still get a charge when I think of finding that on my answering machine

Johnny the ratt boy/ plum island surfcaster/ kennedy yells over to me that hes going to throw some big wood, launches a pencil I made and hooks up

That felt pretty cool, cept I didnt have another one on me for myself but thats ok

Nice fish guys

Karl, you should be in the lead for the year-long tourney here on the site with your cow you caught and released

Nice job.

Armand, that is a really large bass on one of your plugs from out of the canal. SWEET!

Sounds like quite a compilation of success stories so far

any more?
thanks

I have not caught on my wood...but... I give most of them away (trade)and the recipients have caught on them....

This was the about the best day with my own wood. not only because we caught nothing but keepers for about 2 1/2 hours, but I brought my brother, who i don't get to see much and he's only caught one keeper to date. I guess this would be a good time to thank everyone for all the info and instructions in the plug building forum. You helped make a good day of fishing into a great memory with my bro.

over 100 stripers on it, held up well, should I retire it now or keep fishing it?

First Pikies I made I wasn't sure of what the action on the originals was , so , I made mine swimmers...swim a couple of feet under the surface , nice wiggle...turns out the things are PISSA when large bait (herring, ect.) is around. And i've caught LOTS of nice fish on other peoples (online guys) stuff...even yer little white Danny, Bruce , it's still in action.
