Seriously Wahlie, thanks for posting that, and I am glad you are alright.

				 | yeah, i'm really fortunate that the one hook dug in after bouncing off of the frame of my glasses..... I felt the other set of trebles bounce off of my right lense.... I was with my buddy Orlando and we had to take a 2 mile walk off of the beach. He removed the plug from the wolverine triple splits on the spot and we laughed, I said ouch and then got to the Westerly ER. The nurses and dr. couldn't believe how close it had come to my eye. It was a freakish accident. I was reeling in and hit something. Gave it a simple pop, as we all do, and a wave caught the plug and rocketed at my face...

				 | Well someone had to do it    
The good news is an hour after I took that blue, I took a 38" bass on that needle.  Thats the twin to the needle in the picture I took of my dad with his fish.
 
And if I had my camera with me, I'd have a bunch of pictures of fish I took this am on a white pencil, all in the 32-38" range.  Man I needed that.... |

				 | Eddy put the stink-o-skunk on me, so I'm reduced to posting other people's fish.  This is Art, aka Earlybird.....but he's just a lurker.  No one alive has spent more time plugging and flyfishing the Elizabeth's than this guy.  The most enthusiastic fisherman I know.  First cast ever with a skinny danny he ho'd off me this winter.  Should have given him something else instead. |

				 | Just been fishing a lot, Paul.  Here's another I took tonight on a bottle darter after Sauerkraut spent himself trying to catch a 12" bass and left.   Not trying to show off.  Had five fishless nights this week.  Just trying to keep the thread going and encourage other people to get out there and post their successes.  People like you, you lurker. |

				 | I've been trying to learn to fish needles, and last night thats all I could throw into that wind.  I took a few low teen fish on a black maple needle but i eventually broke off, I then switched to one of Numbskulls Hab's clones and took a few decent fish on that during false dawn....
 Then it was time for the white pencil....

				 | And my best pencil fish so far.  42" 29lbs, 1 lb short of that magic # ... I told that one to go eat a pogie and to come back tomorrow    
The one in the first pic was 26#.  All fish were released...  
I spent all winter turning offcenter stuff and getting the lips, hook placement  and weighting right so they swim just right, and here I am catching on needles and a simple white pencil...
 
I guess I'll be keeping it simple next year.... |

				 | I just have not got anything worthy of the post. I am in the minor leagues this year and you are in the majors. All those fish are very fat and healthy. Breaking tides this week in the canal are usually my favorite for the year.  Maybe I can get to a few of them and catch something on a plug. |
