This is a Pinkney inspired sand eel swimmer, although I have never seen one in person, a few years ago I came up with a need for a sand eel sized ( it also imitates spike mackerel) swimmer.. after a few design changes ( my drawing does not reflect these changes) i came up with a light, slim...

Hope you all had a great christmas. I have an idea. I recently got a hold of a fiberglass surf blank. It started as an 11' 4" however, I've since reduced it to 9'. My thinking is for space savings on jetties, the nine footer takes up less real estate. It only weighed 11 oz when it was...

in the epoxy. I tried like hell but this is how they came out. Should I care? (who am I kidding, the fish may not care but it'll drive me nuts) What can I do to make these better, maybe a thinner longer hook?. It wants to be round, how do I get a more torpedo like shape? This style has a...

I was snaggin pogie after pogie this weekend with a pheobie on an ultralight going after snappers and schoolie stripers. We watched an enormous school envelope a marina in the dead of the night under the lights. Occasionally the bunker would jump and go wild. Do you think stripers were...

My girlfriend of 8 yrs (no we aren't married yet) only fishes with me when the bite is on in the summer. She comes out usually when there is alot of bite (school bass and blues) during the day. She loves hooking up using surface plugs. I usually give her a 9ft lami light action 15-20 lb set up...

My dad and i have decided we are going to build this. http://www.bateau.com/proddetail.php?prod=XF20 it will be considerably cheaper, and better than other skiffs. we hope to start this summer. it wont be that hard, and luckily, the people we rent a house from down in Marshalburg...

This will be a multipost/part project, first a little history. This stream line suface swimmer along with the Atom 40 and Pikie minnow is one of the most popular and consistant fish takers evermade. The two men most accociated with the Lure are Donny Musso and Danny Pinkney, both men made a...

I'll preface this by saying I'm not a professional rod builder... I'm just a hack, I learned from a man the was one of the best, Al Vancotteren.... Al was an artist, he painted reverse pictures on glass... very rare... he also built rods, but his love was restoring bamboo rods, he always called...
