Right now, I have been doing quite well on a blurple 2 1/2 oz Beachmaster needle and before that I had luck with his 3 1/2 oz BI fat needle in olive/gold over white (but lost it). Taken a good number of fish #20-30 on those two plugs this summer. I don't think anyone makes a better plug than that guy. I have so much confidence in his lures I find it hard to tie on my own.

for top water it has to be the BigFish's yellow pencil...I have fished that plug for two years solid and it always produces for me when they are on top.....I LOVE IT and him for the endless supply

night time if not fishing eels it's the black mambo minnow....I dunno know what to say...it works for me.....Id really like to try a real wood Finnish swimmer someday......I might have to try and handcarve some....

I dont know what it is bout these two plugs.... I do fish other stuff, but these just seem to work the best for me (local and round town ).....

Speaking of wrong threads you might be up for that most posts in a day deal. You went on a tear for a few days early last winter if I remember correctly.

To stay on topic I realized I forgot to mention Labrador's swimmers. I have complete confidence in the 1 Oz. bunker and 2 oz. Blurpe. Nuthin better than getting them on metal lips IMO.

And your point is what? My cabin fever of last winter may have some thing to do with you being on Cuttyhunk twice this year, no?

I have this Chartruese musso/pichney type deep danny that I made a few yrs ago.I gave one like it to U Larry.At the Mass Bass Show. I have taken hundreds of fish on it.I am real carefull with it.no Knicked leaders an so forth I have to make a few more.
Pencil poppers are cool but I really like the game of cat an mouse with topwater wooden swimmers.

FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..

Block Island would have been a good place to try it.Thats A BI color.I know it's probably a bit heavy for ur usuall gear.It's a good big/whitewater color also.Not a flatwater plug.Good for the Breachways,think of it as a big loaded redfin.Good to reach the outer bar.Bend the lip up.Hold it in a wave an hold on.
