here's a couple on the customs successes...the flat bottom herring pencil continues to produce and I've managed not to lose it...monster 16lb blue in this instance, and the Mac I absolutely loved but sadly it was broken off by a nice fish recently so back to the airbrush I guess...

Here's a decent one. Dark night, no moon, shallow water, no current type spot, tons of weed, and I took 5 of these in a row fishing a parrot Musso-clone darter real slow and twitchy...after covering the same water with a needle for a single smaller fish. Learning all the time.

Good thing your hiding behind that fish, I don't think the world is ready to see you in that wet suit given your "physique".

Why even try.........

I think this was a pbadad floating needle. Dynamite plug in quiet water. Learned something from this plug.

How would I go about acquiring one of those? Looks like a sweet plug.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

You have to be worthy. AND TRYING TO TRADE EELS FOR IT WILL NOT WORK!

Why even try.........

Nah, I gave a whole bunch of plugs to Sauerkraut and whatever he is, "worthy" sure ain't it. Might make you stoop to coming to plugfest to get it, however, Mike.

MIke if he doesn't give you one I'd be happy to give a fellow Franklinite a few, maybe good trade bait for that eel rod we were talking about. BTW I fished an eelskin one last nite in canal and got nutin, probably operator error though. George and Josh are much better drivers than I.

Me too, so lets not get off track berating a lowly eel fisher. I've made sufficient accomodations for the tomato throwers in the other forum...

This, I think, is the best swimmer I've ever made. It is a skinny donny with less belly weight than usual and an added tail weight. Cool color too, green cloud. Unfortunately, I needed an Xmas present for this lurker (and the nicest, most enthusiastic fisherman I know), Earlybird. In a moment of weakness I gave it away. All day today I was reminded how much I hate Xmas. This year he gets fruitcake.
