This one has the MOTHER LOAD! A Lakewood Tacklebox with not just ONE but TWO Hughes River Baits, a Musky Buster Topwalker, a Ty Sennet Pacemaker, 6 Beavertail Bucktails, and more!!
There is also a kick fanny Muskie Music CD...cool!

[:devil:] [:devil:] [:devil:] |
|
| |
|

|
| |
|
| Not so fast boys. I think I want this one.........$200.00
Let 'em go so that the kids can catch 'em.....Mike |
|
| |
|
| Sit down ladies.
$225.00 |
|
| |
|
| Which Lakewood box is it? |
|
| |
|
| One more thing I wanted to say but you know us old guys. We forget so easily. On the last auction the bids did not go up above the $200.00 mark so I will throw the Tekneek in on this one should one of you malcontent's bid higher than my $200.00................Mike |
|
| |
|
| Boy, that was fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
|
| |
|
| I will also throw in a 6 pack of the highly coveted new Baby Shady Spinnerbaits....Choice of colors! |
|
| |
|
| $250.00, or $275.00 if steve can sneak a 3 pack of violent strike spinnerbait in there...
steve |
|
| |
|
| Now is that a bubble bee...10" Jake or old 10" Grandma? |
|
| |
|
| Rich,
I only guessed[;)] but looks like we both got outbid.[:((]
Rob |
|
| |
|
| The bid is now $275!! These are the new Tournament Muskie Violent Strikes. 7/0 hooks, and beefy build, should be really effective trolling baits too.[:bigsmile:]
Do I hear $280??
Shady has added 6 custom baits,Muskyone a Tekneek, Violent Strike 3, and there are more coming. The Lakewood box will be nearly ready for a week long trip, just add leaders and an outfit! |
|
| |
|
| Ok here we go again,(1) 10" Tuff Shad in Durst Super Perch Color (value $40) and (1) Bucher Depthraider Jtd in Nightshiner Color(value $14)for a bid over $280! Capt. Larry |
|
| |
|
| You said add leaders and an outfit and you're ready to roll....I can't add an outfit, but if anyone wants I'll tie up 5 leaders to add to the auction. Yes, it's mono, but it's 80lb thick Berkley Line, tough as h@ll and I haven't had any problems with it after a nice number of fish on them.
Slamr |
|
| |
|
| $281.00- great new stuff, thanks for uping the ante...
steve |
|
| |
|
| Jason, is that your checkbook in the pic? Is that included in the loot? [:bigsmile:] [:bigsmile:] |
|
| |
|
| Nope! The check book is mine, and you don't want it, unless you like lots of moths!![::)]
I take the pictures on my dining room table, overlooking the floodwaters of the Pelican River.
SO now we have a Tuff Shad and a Bucher added to the tacklebox by Captain Larry and leaders by Slammer. Do I hear $290??? |
|
| |
|
| $290!
Going... Going... Gone! YES!! YES!!! |
|
| |
|
| CMunger, thank you for your generous bid!!
I will close bidding on this group of items Monday at midnight. I will be at Clear Lake Saturday and Sunday, online if there is an AOL dialup there; keeping track of the bidding.
Bid often, bid HIGH!!
[:bigsmile:] |
|
| |
|
| AOL 800 number, and for 10 cents a minute, here we are!! Two more days to bid.
NOW!! Let's sweeten the deal a bit. I will add a Frabill Power Catch Muskie net( Thanks, Mark and Steve!!)to the deal for the next bid of $325. Anyone in?? The retail value of the package is now over $425, by my math.[:bigsmile:] |
|
| |
|
| OK fella's....I'll throw in 2 Magnum Bull Dawgs for this worthy cause. Let's get the bids over $350, OK?
Donnie[;)] |
|
| |
|
| I'll toss in (2)Lindy 8" Tiger Tubes(choice of colors)(value $26)and (2)Lindy Big "M"s Shad Gold Scale color and Firetiger color(value $30),if we get a bid of $350!I will ship them along with the 10" Tuff Shad in Durst Super Perch(value $40) and Joe Bucher Tackle Depthraider Jtd in Nightshiner color (value $14)directly to the winning bidder.
Capt. Larry |
|
| |
|
| At this point there is more then $510 in this total package!Someone is going to walk away with an almost full Lakewood Tackle Box and a Power Catch Net. |
|
| |
|
| Lets really up the ante! Now that I have a real job (thanks slamr), I will add the outfit!For a bid of 400 (thats 4 hundy) I will add a custom Thorne Bros. rod and an ABU 6600 pro max(Almost 2 bills new).The rod is an older model built on the Sage 569 blank and is a 7' bucktail rod.Let the games begin !!!!! Steve |
|
| |
|
| Ok, I didn't get to the second page !!Forget the 400 we are now up to say 650. Good stuff for a great cause. Steve |
|
| |
|
| Wow, what's going on here? [:bigsmile:] May I be the first to suggest that this particular auction is getting out of hand? It ends tomorrow night and the current bidding has only reached $290. I'd personally suggest taking everything from the net on up and starting a new auction. The net is where I'm bowing out, because while a guy can never have too many baits [:bigsmile:], too many nets is another thing altogether, and a guy's gotta draw a line somewhere.
However, because I am a glutton for punishment with a heart too darn big for my pocketbook's good, I would be willing to go $400 for the total packages offered up til this post, minus the net (I've got 3 already). Otherwise I'd better stick to my $290 level package. There's just such a big jump in there. Steve? Larry? Donnie? If you three agree, I will go $400 for Ashton. |
|
| |
|
| CMunger,
You can bid $400 for everything and if you want to donate the net back for a new auction,that you can do! Capt. Larry |
|
| |
|
| Well, I got a bit confused by Steve Jonesi's addition, whether he was in @ $400 or not, I guess, which probably should have been the question, since that bid would have met you and Donnie's conditions. So I suppose I'm holding @ $290 until we hear from him. But for the record, if he's in, I'll go $400. God, please don't let my wife read this. I like to take the net out of consideration when valuing the bidding, helps me think more clearly. [:bigsmile:] |
|
| |
|
| This is becoming WAY TOO TEMPTING!!![;)] But...I will refrain from throwing in on this one! Munger, do like I did...told the wife I'd won a 2 day motel paid trip to Niagra Falls...only recently did I inform her that it was 2 days fishing w/ Capt. Larry...she wanted to know if we could at LEAST see the Falls...I told her if possible Larry may troll us close enough to see them....[:sun:] |
|
| |
|
| $425...a worthy cause needs to be bid up. Mark |
|
| |
|
| Mark, alright your the man!Thanks for getting the bid back inline with the offerings and the cause.Sponge we will see the MIST of the FALLS, in the air,from the BRINK and the water does pull a little faster down by Navy Island!There is a cable stretched accross the river if your lucky your lowerunit catches on it before the rapids to the great drop! Capt. Larry |
|
| |
|
| I am confused, would someone list all the items that are included in this auction. I am really interested in the items and the rod & reel. Are all of these items included in the current $425.00 bid? Please someone let me know. If so I will take it up a notch or two. Also when does this current auction end?
Thanks Guys, MIke |

|
| How right you are Capt!!! One bid by ME would end life for me as I know it![:(] [:sun:] |
|
| |
|
| I apologize for the confusion I may have created,I just want to be involved in helping the cause.I'm kinda on this "random acts of kindness" thing and damn it feels good.Let me know where to send the goodies.6 days til The Valley! Can't wait. Steve |
|
| |
|
| I have a bid of $450 from Muskyone. Thanks!!!! The auction ends tonight at midnight, so place your bid before then!![:bigsmile:] [8)] |
|
| |
|
| Man, I was all excited this am. I thought thatthe auction ended last night at midnight. Oh well, another late night hitting the refresh button tonight. Is there any way we can end this at say 10:30 or thereabouts? So that I could get some sleep tonight? Maybe the wife will let me on the system tonight so that I can go to the chat room and lose myself in there for awhile. Talk to you all tonight.
Let 'em go so that the kids can catch 'em.....Mike |
|
| |
|
| Oh, what's the matter, scared of somebody like me scooting in at 11:59 and outbidding you by $1? [;)] |
|
| |
|
| Yep that would be the problem. The object here is to raise as much money for Ashton with these auctions as possible. One way to do this is to get some serious competition in the bidding going. This may not happen if someone slips in an "Ebay" on the rest of the participants. Maybe a minimum bid would help. Say that you have bid $475.00 the next bidder can not bid any lower than $500.00. I see this on ebay all the time. Then at least if you or I slid in just under the gun with a bid Ashton would be the one to benefit. After all, isn't that what we are doing this for any way? Oh yeah, I almost forgot found some more money in an old dirty sock under the bed...........$500.00 is now the bid to beat. If someone goes over this I may have to throw in a Jerk Bait or two. [:bigsmile:] [:bigsmile:] [:bigsmile:] [:bigsmile:]
Let Em Go...Let Em Grow.....Mike |
|
| |
|
| Ouch, $500 eh? You're making it tough... [:bigsmile:] The ebay cheapie method only works if nobody else is looking. I got into a good 90 second flurry with a guy over a Vanson jacket once upon a time, and it ran up 35% in that last 90 seconds. Get two stubborn guys with cable modems running multiple windows and hitting reload, and BAD THINGS can happen. Got to be a competitive thing rather than a buying thing. LOL
$500, huh? Hmmm... I better balance the checkbook here. I'm tending to think we're getting out of my range, (I was struggling @ $290), but I promise if I make a bid, I will do it before 10pm central time, and I will bid at least $10 increment. Swear on a 50 incher. :) |

LOL Keep up the good work Steve and all of you guys. It's a real pleasure to be a part of this, the best Muskie website on the planet. Make that the best website on the planet period. Catch you al later, Mike |

| The bid was not a problem Larry, more than happy to do my part and more if need be. Really wanted that Sage rod. These are extremely hard to come by. Probably the best Muskie blank ever made. So much stuff that I am really excited about getting all this stuff. White or Pearl wouldbe the colors on the Tiger Tubes.
