nice Lawrence. Wish I could join you on the canal but the bite is too good right now via boat. Enjoy the rest of the weeks tides, should be good from what I am seeing where I am.

You will have to believe me that I got a 42 lber, 49 1/2", on a top water plug I make yesterday from the boat in 18' of water. Probably my personal best on a plug now that I think of it. I was trolling T&W and saw a little action on top at daybreak. Only had a glorified fluke set up, not thinking I was going to do any plugging, but it got the job done, got 4 more, all nice, in all on top. Only have a cell camera pic and i have no idea how I would even get it off there considering that was first time I ever used it. Probably didn't even come out. Real nice morning yesterday as I was only one out there for most of morning but over by 8 am as it has been all season in that neck of woods. 3 charter boats took over at that time and I went home. Also got 3 lunkers on T&W too, at dawn. I can't wait to see how many more fish blow into this area after storm passes.

I'm glad for you congrats

if you email yourself the picture from your phone, then you will have it on your computer to see. It shouldn't be that hard to do, just look thru the menus

I wish the flaptail but I didn't have anything but a spook, and a beat one too boot. Never thought I would be plugging that morning.

At plugfest somebody (I've forgotten who) gave me a sweet single hook short black skin needle with a concave nose. Been working well for me and I'd like to thank you. Here is my son with a fair fish it took last pm.
Thanks.

Nice fish for Nick. Nice meeting you George.

My Dad's Stubby Needlefish and the bass I caught on it

A few of you (like Big Fish) know and have met and have helped my soon to be 90 year old dad with plug building tips. Here is Bill at his lathe (a 50 year old Craftsman) and a stubby needlefish (copied from the Dave Anderson Fisherman 2007 article), and the 30 inch striper (one of many up to 34 inches ) I caught on MV with it in August. He also does great darters that have worked on Wasque last year and also worked fine on Cutty this year along with Tattoo and Big Fish metal lipped swimmers I used. He has done a fine knock off of the Big Fish Pencil (thanks Larry- I still buy and catch on the originals as well). He has made me great needles from 4 inches to 10 inches and pencils as well as metal lipped swimmers and great polaris poppers. He also has created a great squid, fashioned after one I saw in an On The Water article (one is hanging up at the Cutty Hunk Fishing Club). Bill loves talking plugs at the MSBA Expo or Tri State banquets. He uses the plastic eyes with anchor stems he or I pick up at M&D's. Over the last 10 years he has become very fancy with his painting almost always putting a splash of red below the lure mouth/ gill area. He uses a clear coat epoxy resin we learned about at the plug builders forum. I can only take credit for making the lures work, he gets all the credit for creating them. There is something special I feel every time I catch a fish on one of his lures (and luckily that is quite often).

Bill

I believe you Professa, even if everyone else does not...

I got a 32# fish in July on one of my Musso style swimmers, but had no camera with me. Fortunately TO and Afterhours were beside me as I hung the fish on AH's boga, then let her go. Was really cool and helped justify the 3K (and growing) I invested.
