Nice B. That picture sure wasn't today, I see sun. It was like fishing in November today. I still haven't warmed up.

Oh yeah nice one Matt. You got that on a rubber shad and Larry made you change it. Tell the truth now.

Just kidding big guy

Took a while. Empty am at the canal and boat stuff has been grim, but snotty SW and rain was too good to pass up. A fatty on ProfM's lido clone, and a nice fish on a large (7.5") donny clone. Felt great.

From last week. Taken on a DC custom 2.5 oz pencil. It was literally drawing fish to the surface while everything else was failing...no eels yet in 2009.....not sure how much longer I can hold out.....

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

Gliders

Fished my gliders in several places on the Cape and in Rhody and was pleased with the way they worked. Definately figured out that brighter colors work much better with these and that they caught fish on the swim and when worked fast or hard. I got a much better idea on how I want to tweak them weight wise and figure I should be able to get some to cast comparably to a pencil.

Nice to see you again as well. You are some VERY lucky folks to live near such a terrific place to fish. I enjoyed my week there very much.

Nothing like the firm "yank" when a nice striper swallows a slow moving swimmer! Only 20 pounds but it was my thrill for today! Can't beat the "Prey"!

Here's a nice fish on one of the darters George gave me at plugfest. It was 28# and took the darter down headfirst, that's the tail of the plug sticking out of the mouth...

That's been one of my 'go to' plugs. I hope it makes it thru the season...

nice fish guys. George makes a nice darter and yes Lawrence has a winner.
Speaking of darters I saw Eastend Lu at the canal yesterday and he gave me a bottle darter. Man that has some sweet action and I hope to ruin it some nite.

Don't worry you didn't give away all the good ones. The one i got from you got a small keeper on it's first cast on the first night I brought it with me. Since then any it has been in my plug bag I got the skunk. On another note here's some decent fish on my spooks and canal specials.
