New stuff,,,2013

[Rip-Plugger]

not a new plug but, new paint on a very old plug.this plug is from 1981.
a real Leo cooper goo-goo eyes swimmer,not the big daddy but, the smaller one,I forget the name right now.
came out good despite the pock marks from big gators from way back then.
I added some silver dust[courtesy of WWM] to the epoxy to give it some sparkle.

Nice wood rip plugger. Your sig pic says you live in new haven or wallingford. When do you start catching fish up there?

Thanks Buckethead,,


well,there are lots of fish in the housatonic now at the power plant,I usually start in may,I don't do the preliminary fishing anymore,I simply target larger fish.
I could actually start in april or when the water temps get to about 42F.
I do go early but, not all out,I fish hard just before the bunkers show up which is usually about late april or early may.

I have great success with large wood,I guess I have always had a knack for it.it began in 1978 when I first got into saltwater fishing,gators were what was on the menu and I did very well with them on large wood back then.
now that same large wood is smaller than what i build now and looks inadequate to me.
at any rate they work and thats what I want them to do.
thanks for looking M8.
