Got a 24-LB on my 5" needle tonight.

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.

I don't know about plugs but I sure would like to credit the guy who makes the canal jigs for the four fish up to 33 pounds I got this morning.

Why even try.........
