Here's a couple from yesterday. My first fish on a spook, nothing great but it's a start. And here's a pretty good fish on a pencil. 42" 26# on the boga.

Nice fish! It was good running into you the other night. How'd you do after we left?

Me and my son with some topwater bass. He got his on a Silent Scott pencil and I got mine on one of my poppers.

So, see some friends sunday who have a certain large plug of mine. First thing out of there mouths is "you have any more?" Yeh, Why?? "They swim good, we like them!" My reply is "did you catch" It was like pulling teeth to get an answer which eventually was multiple high 20's to mid 30# for all four of them and not one picture (story was verified by independent source and I saw the plugs, which looked like they went thru hell!) So do I make them more?

Here is an interesting shot.

Probably the only guy alive fishing a small pichney darter (clone), and definitely the only guy alive who would be naive enough to use one by day. We all know they don't work by day. Googan for sure?

Must be a Zappa thing... darters during the day and pencils at night

Ribbed for her pleasure

This fish inhaled my ribbed needle, was 35" and 15lbs.

Got a few others on it too, the needle creates so much drag in the water. slow crawling it seemed to be the key, i mean painfully slow.

LOL. Don't let G fool you he was fishing one too and I even think it may have been his idea. Plus he even kept my darter. One note the fishing was so completely awesome I think we probably could have used bare hooks and caught fish.

The fog in Buzzards' Bay and around the Pigs has been so thick lately, it is hard to get out. I took my shakedown trip to the Pigs and caught 8 bass. Most were keepers but nothing to brag about. The whole reef was loaded with birds and bass swimming right along side the boat while I was trolling.

First cast=pow, then nothing.

Made one cast and partial drift with this 7.5" pichney stlye jointed eely and hooked right up...figured I was in for some fun and it turned out to be my only fish of the night. Still, its likely bigger than anything Numbskull has caught this year thus its a victory (albeit small) for me on mulitple fronts.

Nice fish guys....The stripers are definitely biting better than the muskies. the lakes don't even have defined weed edges yet...cold spring.

Nice work Chris!

Crappy picture of a fat guy in a wetsuit with a low 20 bass (the fish is rotated) on a sweet little 1.5oz musso darter clone. This is a smaller darter than the little ones I gave out at plugfest. Runs deeper. I like the plugfest versions better (a white one has been my best plug this year), but this smaller one looks like it has lots of potential as well.
