Well not a custom plug, but a jig I made. This one went 23" long and had an 18.5" girth easily 7+ pounds.

We try to not let that happen. Many times if they get air-bourne is when you see your lure fly out of their mouths.

First Striper 34"s

Of the season for me. I found this little Greek swimmer in my bag after going through an hour of watching fish sipping. They were on worms or shrimp and I had nothing near the size they wanted. Found this one in the bottom of the bag. Cast and just let it sit, Bam. Saved my night.

Got out for the first time this year and had good results...7 hookups landed 4 up to 36" in a little over an hour all on one of my spooks. First picture is the first fish of the year and the other one is a 36".

Cool fish, guys. Gotta laugh at your's Bill........Ted spends all that time getting his plug to swim right and you catch fish dead-drifting it.

And 229, a 36" fish for 5/5 when fishing out of Pembroke is no small feat. It is 5 days later and I've yet to break 28"...........nice work.

Finally a 1/2 decent fish. Took a cloud Conrad Jr on an otherwise slow night. Great jetty plug.

After spending way too much time on them this winter I finally got into some fish on darters last night. Nothing to brag about size wise yet but atleast they work...

Nice going everyone!

I hope to shake the skunk off in the morning, had a fish on last week, but lost it... that'll teach me to be lazy and not change out dull trebles.

60 % of the time, it works every time.

Nice fish George and the rest of you bumm's.
Got a 37" on my brainstormed, bastardized, spook. No camera though. I have high hopes for this week as the fish should be bigger in this area and I will remember the camera.

took a 30" this morning, not on my own plug, but on wood none the less, sorry no pic, but it was so crappy out this morning, it wouldn't have mattered. Lure of choice was a little white darter. the skunk, she is gone.

Caught this one tonite, on one of my Pink sided eel danny's, same color that Bill Couch caught his on, it was actually his color idea, so I figured I better make a couple of them just in case the fish like the color.
