Nice catches guys. Some pics from last week. The shallow water, top water fishing was to die for with larger fish each time I went out. The best day I forgot the camera. Anyway my yellow howdy in red cedar is my usual go to plug, thanks John, but had very good luck with the spooks I made over the winter like the red headed one and one in yellow and a green top white bottom one too. Also had real good luck with a yellow howdy that had the bottom flattened like a hawg hunter. Caught pissa but a fish stole it on me. Had a different action, which I liked. Its all about the strike for me . You could take the hooks off and I would still have a ball.

Here are a few from last pm and today.
A fish caught by Earlybird on one of Flap's spooks
A fish caught by a really, really, handsome guy on a skinny danny
A bad picture of a 24.5# that ate a yellow bottle.
Time to go get 'em, guys.

Nice fish guys. George I threw the big yellow darter I got from you @ plugfest in the bag last night and it caught first cast. My first bluefish of the year... I really like that one, it's heavier than mine and perfect wieght for the rod I'm using.. I put it back in the bag for tonight.

I fried my cell phone a couple nights ago so I haven't been carrying the camera the past few nights. I'll bring one tomorrow...

A couple teens on top and a 21 that inhaled a darter pre dawn. I may retire that one and use it as the standard to judge my others by. Most of my decent fish this year have been on that plug.

I love seeing these fish on homemades!

I got a fatty on my flat bottom pencil this morning, the fish was in the rocks the entire time and my biggest concern was losing the plug as I felt my line dragging across the structure it seemed to keep finding ...it's the only one I'd made...got em' both out of the surf safely

Nice Dave, I think I have one of your darters, a squid colored one, I intend to try it shortly.
