Stillwater-cold, windy, swell, and fish

decided to give it a go today and was expecting warmer and calmer conditions. Not to be today, windy, wind swell, swell, cloudy, and never let up. I still managed to find some fish and landed a grass rockfish at 17"-thought is was a ling or cabbie with the head shakes I experienced. I caught all of my limit today on one of my homemade butter knife jigs, it was like taking candy from a baby-almost every drop resulted in a hook-up. Here are some pics to check out.  Mike

Congrat on your catches!  Nice looking knife jigs!  Thanks for the report and pictures Mike.

There's just something cool about catching fish on home made lures, 

Thanks for the report, and pics

Way to go Mike ! Lets hope for next Wed and Thurs .David

The Chicken.... swell watch report ...er...watcher of late..

Good stuff Mike. I like that knife jig too. Like the threaded grub on the hook idea--I do that w/glow grubs when fishing deep or cloudy days and it works great.

Awesome, it was hitting like that last weekend too... THANKS!

Hey Andy,
I haven't had anything on the tube bait yet, but I have only used them once so far and nothing was hitting that day on anything.


Can anyone take me through the process of getting video from my camera or a file to posting it on this site? I tried several times, but this site bounced it back saying it timed out or file was too big. Thanks

Thanks Mike, cant wait for the video.
