3 bass on Bill 's lures (my dad) that I caught this weekend. Have not been fishing too much earlier this season, but started more frequently recently. Great to catch fish on his lures.
One from MV on his Lido Flaptail (lure almost as big as the fish). One on his classic black darter. The last was on his Purple Pencil popper. Fish absolutely devoured it. All released healthy.

No fish yet but these are ready to go

Bill just etexed these this week. He did 2 Parrot needles, knowing I wanted them for the Block next month and also left the red Cedar (from an old limb in his backyard) natural because it just looked so good. (He has 3 more to coat). I will hit MV for a few days this week and next and see what I can hook up on his lures. Hopefully next pictures will be of lures with fish, but since Bill had not been feeling well it was nice to see him feeling well enough to get back at finishing some lures. Thought you all would enjoy seeing them too.

I enjoyed this one. BIG surface hit on a copy of a Bluestreak popper. Just as I imagined it while building them. Made up for getting blue-balled by albies today.

I had built these a year ago but used them very little. Turns out the plug floats much like a pencil, tail down and mouth about an inch out of the water. At first I did not like it and felt it was too tail heavy, but today I realized that it means you can work the plug like a spook as well as a popper. Really neat plug with oodles of big daytime fish potential.
