Very few hours of sleep most nights followed but long work days.

Some boat fish on custom wood.

No epoxy, just a quick clear coat for these. The trollers are a take off of the newer gibbs GTS but I used white pine and a pikie 3 lip. Would love to get a older pichney version but those aren't a easy find.

Lipless swimbait, 4 sections, little over 5 inches. Be surprised how many 9-10 inch smallies hammer it. This one is a little bigger:

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.

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...

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