Yea buddy welcome aboard, man nice haul. Hope to see your posts come the soft water season!!

Geez Les, did you pump her up with air?? Almost looks like a freak!!! But your fillets has my stomach growling, it's been a long time since I had a perch meal!! Hint-Hint LOL great job man!!

Thank Flybuster, holy shyt I never gave them a thought. We have a huge hobby shop near by, my daughts had a prodject and one picked the Titanic, and I took her there I was floored when I saw there selection. Do you do a primer before paint or just make sure they are free of oils. Thanks for the help. Pap

WOW those are really nice!!! I asked some guys on lou the type guns and stuff they used, because my daughter wanted one for Christmas. Believe it or not Santa brought one for her, all the while I was pushing this idea, we are getting better but she is way more talented then I. I have purchased different stencils for scales patterns. The one thing I'm in the dark about is what type of paint to use. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great. As of now we're using water based paints, just for easy clean ups. Thanks for any help PAP

Yea buddy!!! That's what what I'm talking about, nice box of fish Flybuster!!! Tight lines to all.

Another blade that I use with a lot of faith as it has proven itself in LakeO,Canada, and was advised to try it on Erie was the lure called the cicada, on the rip up it vibrates like mad, they also come in many colors and weights. During the jig bite in the western basin of Erie was the most success, but it didn't out perform like the jig heads that Happy Hooker bait shops sells tipped with a minnow, it's crazy fast and exciting fishing. In Canada I used a lure it was 2"long and 3/8" wide it had a hammered surface in a polished silver color with a white feather like material around the hook that was attached to the weight via a split ring, just jigging the lure in 30 plus foot of water produced quality walleye not quantity. Tipping the hooks with a night crawler made the fish hang on a little longer providing better hook ups and less just waked at hits, a old Indian guide up there told me where and how to use the lure, if the fish are on the bottom fish for them with this lure he said. He was correct, I came back to the dock with 5 fish all over 3-4#'s the guys were amazed, as they were napping getting ready for the night bite, which those fish were the general run of the mill all, well we kept 18" on up, but no big females. Just a little of my experiences with different blades. Hope you find it interesting. PAP

This year I was introduced to the Cast Master by a semi-pro bass fisherman who claims he catches many eyes while fishing for bass. I got to go along with David on his new bass boat, well that takes some getting used to, when your sitting in the seat you can touch the water, as to 3ft gunnels, anyway we went to a lake called Wallenpawpack, launched at the newer ramp by the dam, it took some time to get the hang of using the lure, as the fish usually hit it on the way down. David showed me and once I got a grip on it the lure became very useful, there was 3 of us on the boat myself and David we fished the Cast Master and my uncle used all kinds of rubber, drop shots he caught a pickerel and David caught 5 or more Lake Erie size smallies and I caught 3 smallies. David did a little better as he had the next size down from mine, so he dug through his bag and found another in the same size as his. You are absolutely correct as to you need braided line, you can actually feel the fish hit the spoon, and he said you need to set the hook as soon as you feel anything!!! The spoons are metal and they will spit the lure quick. So I have purchased a few in differant weights/sizes and color, David had a perch colored one and I had gold/silver, his did out perform mine as he caught a catfish and other species of fish also. They do work. I wish I would have caught an eye to give me a little more boost to give them a whirl in LakeO or Erie.

This year our group is going to split up, my one uncle who usually fishes with me is going with our other family members to Canada to fish Lake O'Sullivan for their last time as their 75+ and still go good for their age, which we have fished over 30 years. I'm not going which kind of has the family a little rattled to say the least. I've fished the western basin out of Oak Orchard/Turttle creek I fished Port Clinton which is were we did the best, and this year I'm going the 2nd week of June to fish the eastern basin of Erie, I'm hoping that it will be as good I can't see how it could be less than stellar, from what I read and was told in person, buy guys from home that have fished eastern basin for years. They are going with me so I have a foot in the door already and of course Erie United. This will be great, thanks Chad for all the pain staking work and a wonderful job to say the least. I'm a member of Walleye Central for years, I've noticed posts about this site on there, most were positive as most Ohio fisherman are they rank right up there with Up State NY hunters and fisherman.!!!

Why are you selling those!!! I'd hang on to them especially the last box

Good grief Charlie Brown, someone please smack me I'm having a walleye's nightmare!! This is the best thing sinc LOU. Which I'm a proud member of!! Could this be the door to open that we've been waiting for???
