You mean old 'Doc' Pietreszek... 
Corey took my brother in law and me out the end of last June and we had pods of bass chasing topwaters - fish in the 30 to 40# range - bringing them off the bottom in gin-clear water taking whacks at the plugs - it was unbelievable - we have a few stills I took but no videos of the day.
I'll tell ya, I've seen broncos buck, gators f***, been to a cockfight and two World's Fairs and I ain't never seen anything like that.
Capt. Corey knows his stuff...  |

One of my all time favorites is still a Rebel Sea-Gar in bony areas around here - I think I've got a dozen or so left - I prefer the black and silver, pictured below is a mackeral in the middle, casts pretty well at only 5 1/2 inches -
I really liked Bernzy's Surf Howdy, had one of the very first batch and they were killer - tough to come by now, don't know if John will be producing any more, haven't talked to him in a while. Used to murder 'em with the pogie color -
Last season I used a Habs white canal-style pencil that was awesome, got it from Uncle Joe - gotta talk to Johnny about that one... 
Also used one of Don's Afterhours large pencils on the trip with Corey while those guys were using a Doc - it was pretty sweet, I'll definitely be picking some of those up at show time - |

I don't find myself on the water during full daylight very often so my topwater fishing is somewhat limited. On the occasions when I'm out during daylight I'll use a Super Strike Needle (bright pattern IE: Parrot). The key is a quick retrieve and skipping it accross the surface in short bursts creating a commotion. Skipping Super Strike Needles - a little known technique - try it - even more deadly on calm nights.

It's a Musky Mania plug that's 9" at 3 1/2 oz - looks like a vibrator with trebles, basically -
Bone color (no joke intended - no, really) seems to be the color of choice for the most part -

Jay - I don't know about the rest of the family, but after seeing Corey Saturday he still looks pretty well fed... 
No plug works well if there aren't fish around to begin with - haven't seen one yet that will toll fish from miles away, regardless of what guys will tell you -
Finding fish is what counts - and Corey does it like few others I've seen... |

Pretty hard to convince yourself to throw them in the dark, but I had a full moon night when I did very well on small to low medium fish (eating krill) using a surf howdy. You can also retrieve pencils slow and straight and they work like a floating needle. |

Wow, thanks for the info. Never heard of 'em. Do you replace the trebles right away and is it hard to work a 9" 3.5 oz spook or do they slide around easily? I see that they make a smaller size as well. |
