Posts: 532 | Yesterday here in PA was unseasonably warm, and like many people in the middle of winter I was starting to get alittle shack wacky. So I grabbed the rod and went to a local hole hopeing for a hungry for a hungry fish. I took two rods, one for live bait hoping for a walleye, the other to throw Raptors knowing theres a chance for a musky. Well I didnt catch any muskys, only a pair of pike that took a liking to the home made Raptors. Nothing really worth a photo. Then I got a picture message from my buddy Todd.  The picture is of our friend Dave holding a 37" musky. After a phone call to Todd, I find out that Dave had left Todds house an hour or so earlier and he took a Raptor with him to go fishing with his son. Wouldnt you know it on the 3rd cast he hooks in to this musky. It isnt the biggest fish in the river, but its hard to complain about being able to fish for musky year round, and having opportunities to cast for them in January. Like all the bait makers that use this forum know, there is a good feeling that comes with hearing stories of fish being caught on a bait you have built by hand. | ||

Posts: 532 | Been spending alot of time the past couple of weeks with the air brush in my hand. I finally got a minute to post up some of the more recent patterns I have completed. None of the patterns are earth shattering complex, but I get alot of satifaction at seeing how the paterns all come together.        | ||

Posts: 532 | About two weeks ago, right before the Butler show I wrapped these patterns up. At the Butler show it was kinda neat to see the first color people grab when reaching to hold a bait. Even if I knew the person standing in front of me, I tried to guess the color of bait they will pick up. Some times I guess correct, most of the time I was wrong. Many people (to my suprise) picked up the Shad pattern and the 3 Mile Perch. The Shad suprized me, because not alot of local water had a shad base, some water in my area does, but not the majority. 3 Mile Perch started as a screw up of mine so I ran with it. When I finished the pattern, I thought "This is what a perch would look like if it lived in the water around 3 Mile Island". A simple perch pattern with fluorescent green profile and fluorescent orange belly, I didnt think it would be one many people would grab first to look at, but I was wrong.     | ||
