All fish released, of course. Yet I practically kill myself pursuing them.

Nice catch SK. Are those gloves hospital issued? |

Yeah, on Numby's boat or his truck ( especially the truck which he hasn't washed since the day he bought it in 1998), if you don't where them you can easily pick up some un-pronouncable desease. Masks are advised as well.  |
Why even try.........

Boy does it feel like a large yellow danny kind of night outside. 3/4 moon, no lighting to dodge, no wind, crisp & cool... Can't wait to get out there and see what happens...

How big a plug is that pikie? If that's a Moore's pikie lip, then that is some substantial fish. Gotta love jointed plugs. Nicely done.

Gary has his lips made for his plugs . I think they're made in like Germany .. I had a bunch of his plugs for Mac auction a couple of years ago . Glass eyes, mint paint ,, each one in its own fleece bag ,, Huge plugs ..Moore's pikie lip would look like a lefty on the plug I have .. |

Weird square lip on that plug, though obviously it works.

Jigman spook has been THE go-to plug along the islands this year (after Eddy schooled us with it last fall). Any plug that can pull up decent bass at a tough time of year under bright sun conditions is a quality design. Today, 11 am.

Pathetic when all I can find is a bluefish. But this fish was bigger than the camera angle shows and fought harder than any fish I've caught in several years (foul hooked). Crushed a Jigman spook.

Thanks G. you are too kind. I will say it was a really enjoyable, interesting, plug to build. Especially the threaded thru wire ones I did. I saw it at VB 's house amongst his millions of vintage plugs and wanted to build one. I was surprised when you told me you had one and fished it on occasion. When I did swim one myself I was impressed with the commotion it made. I have several more sealed in a box and will finish them up this winter.

Got a very nice fish today on a plug I whipped up over the weekend. Had several other blow ups on it too. Made my day. It is an extra large version of John's Howdy. I will dub it Howdy super doody. I have not completely figured out how to fish it though because I use his normal size from the boat and fish it with the rod tip below my knees a foot above the water. It is much harder with an 11 foot rod in the canal but that is half the fun, to figure it out.
