Needless to say it didn't turn out good for him, the pig. The plug was newly made and only caught this one fish. Looks like it has seen many fish. Done real well with these mini hawgs this year. I will make more this winter and I will load them even heavier too. Lost 2 other plugs this morning too from the yellow eyed buggers

I took my new yellow danny from my "Danny Time" post and fished it for the first time lastnight. Had non stop action for 3 hours. Nothing huge, except bluefish, but did have a couple decent fish. I have no pics of fish (I don't like to bring the camera out on the jetty) but do have this pic of my danny after 3 hours of use.

Congrats. That first hit on your own plug is one great feeling, whatever the size of the fish.

Hi:
My name is Bryan and last night, I c/r a nice healthy 38" fish on a plug.
Whew.
that was tough to say!

Of course, the guy next to me throwing an eel released a larger fish

The weapon was a Gags lime green needle.

For my sins I will say:
four 'hail eely's'
Three 'Our Anguilla's'
And make the sign of the eel four times

Sorry backbeach.
You must be disappointed in me

Bryan

Nice to have you at the plugaholics meeting. There's plenty of coffee in the back. Stick around and you can get your 24 hour chip. Dr. Bill would be proud of you.

I'll be back on the eel-pipe before the end of the week, faster than a crack-ho w/a fresh 100.00 bill!

I'm not opposed to throwing a big purple Hawg pencil made by some machinist, especially during the day!
best casting plug in my bag!

One from today. Not large but fun. I did pretty well on this sandeel looking needle. I intend to make some more this winter. Maple weighted on the bottom in several spots. Real nice swimming action. Fish were not abundant today but what a beauty weather wise. Fished in a t shirt it was so warm and calm.

Nice work Paul!

steelhead

Just found this thread.

A friend of mine, John, more well known to you guys as "steelhead" has been nice nough to keep me ankle deep in some quality wood this season.

I wanted to put up a couple of pics to showcase his work.

The spook and pencil are 8 and 9 inches respectively and are some of the best performing ones I have ever laid my hands on.

The spook is the perkiest for it's size that I've ever used and can even jump out of the water if coerced enough. It did some work on some rather large Rhody spring bass chasing bunker. The pencil is very unique as well. I can just about stop reeling and just bounce the tip and it will dance in place.

Both are covered in battle scars.

The danny's are a couple more of the most recent additions to my collection and are a little less abused. I had some the same size and shape in yellow for the spring and they are remarkable slow rolling movers and poppers to say the least. The wide belly on Johns danny's is part of what makes them so unique and functional.

Keep up the good work john and can't wait to see what you turn out this winter!

Somebody needed to toot his horn. His stuff is getting really good.

thanks to you S-B guys for helping him out along the way too!
