Got a 40 inch fish on a beautiful "Johnny" off center turned plug I got at plugfest, in canal today. Sorry G. no camera. Took a lot to throw that plug but it swims so beautiful I couldn't resist. I threw it at a deer first but it wouldn't touch it. It was too busy swimming for its life against the current. He needs to get a tide chart.

Nice, another cool fish on a light rod, probably shallow water as well. Love seeing this stuff, helps keep the motivation up even when the skunk smell gets strong.

I don't have pictures but I have done well on my customs. 2 weeks ago had lots of fish on several plugs including a nice pikie I made a few of. Yesterday AM I got 4- 20 pound fish on topwater at daybreak on a mackeral pattern pencil I made.
I love plugs but I still catch plenty on rubba(atleast rubba is not alive)

if I get some pics, I'll put one up someday, but it's the moments I live for.

Thanks Al, but you got yours at night and it was bigger
I love needles and love when I catch on them even more.
Good fishing.
I'll never forget my first fish on my own plug, it was a needlefish plug of course. It's a great feeling catching on stuff you make yourself.

That's for sure I been having a ball. My two fishing partners love the needles also. It's a great hobby. Fishing's been good.

That's GREAT news!! I'm 7 hours away renovating a 170yr old farm house. No chance for salt or plugs until fall for me. Thanks for throwing it. If you lose it,... there can be more !

Thanks. I would really like one in a lighter color someday. The one I have is burple, but still worked in the daytime. Really nice realistic swimming action. I'd give it a 10. Good luck with the house
