Posts: 399 Location: Burton, Ohio | One last re-paint. It is a tuff shad. I did a perch pattern on it. I know it is overkill!!!!!! LOL Still fun and different for a break. Thanks again fella's. Sebskie! Your work is amazing. I think about that crawfish pattern you did that one bait all the time. Incredible! Erik all is good on this side of the pond. I hope the pike are treating you good! Knowing you they all have sore mouths from you catching them! John Attachments ---------------- DSC07911tuffperch2.jpg (21KB - 336 downloads) DSC07912tuffperch1.jpg (25KB - 283 downloads) | ||

Posts: 388 | Erik, I really enjoyed the photos on your blog. Couldn't understand a single word on the site but the pictures are worth a thousand words. Aside from the enormous size of the pike that you have there, it looks like any number of lakes that I fish in upper Michigan or Northern Wisconsin. Those pike are huge! Thanks for sharing. | ||

Posts: 399 Location: Burton, Ohio | Thanks again guys ice just left the lakes today here!!!!!!!!!!!!! YE Haw!!!!!!!! LOL Smoken Joe, The gliders have been in the 5 to 6 oz range. The rhino have been around 5 to 7 oz range. The little buggers have been 2 to 2.75 OZ Pete I hear you on Eriks Blog. Man they get some big pike over there!!!!!!! Erik is a great guy. I know the repaints are over done a bit maybe. Mr Morton fishes Gin clear water with them. He told me up there that the very realist paint jobs make a big difference for him up there. John | ||

Posts: 399 Location: Burton, Ohio | Hey everyone, I hope your summer is going well. I can't believe we are into August already. I just got to go to Lake St. Clair last weekend for the first time. What a fishery! I be back there real soon. Here are a couple recent ones that I did. Mostly gliders. I love doing the natural ones. A bluegill, Trout, Salmon, Smallmouth, and a shad surface popper along with a couple odd balls.

Posts: 431 | Always amazing. When I was really strapped for cash a while ago (as opposed to somewhat strapped for cash like right now) I told my girlfriend I was going to sell a Crappie glider of yours that I have. She told me I wasn't allowed to sell it. I'm glad she talked some sense into me. | ||

Posts: 170 Location: Chicagoland | hah! in fifty years people will be scrambling to get their paws on a Tigger! Your girlfriend has some foresight. Great work as usual. I'm assuming by that great fishery comment, Tigger, that you caught some fish. Did you try any of those salmon imitators there? | ||

Posts: 133 Location: Lake Tomahawk, Musky Central, USA | <---in awe..holy camoly A lot of you guys on this forum are making baits that I don't even think I would throw no matter how bad I wanted to, as an avid collector/crazy musky nut...you have just blown my mind.

Posts: 399 Location: Burton, Ohio | Hey thanks guys, I really enjoy doing the lures. I am trying to do some firetiger type paint jobs but it messes with me! LOL It takes longer to do those for me! LOL Live2fish.......... It was my first time to Lake St. Clair. I was amazed by the fishery. I am in the Cleveland Ohio area and couldn't believe how close it is to me. Like less than 5 hours. I could not believe how many muskies are in there. We were out 9 miles in the lake and it was only 20 feet deep on the Canadian side. We hooked 8 muskies the first day and hooked 2 more the next morning before the lake kicked up. The fish are like in the top 5 feet the time we were there. I was suprised how many people that were trolling bucktails. Our largest was only 45 inches but lost a couple that were bigger I believe. We did also catch a nice little tiger musky. I did hear guys on the radio that had 20 rips with several 49" fish caught. The baits that I brought up there were deeper models. Dang it! It was hard to hold them in that upper 5 foot range. I did catch the first fish of the trip on a little perch type bait off a boat rod. I will add some pics to this post. A fella that I work with caught the this nice 45 incher on a wileys bait. It is his biggest so far and was really happy for him. We will get him that 50" soon! I was also amazed how you fish for the St. Clair fish with the big planer boards and spreading the lines way out. I learned alot this trip. I know I will be back up there at least two more times this year. I see some more things I have to do my boat to tweek it out for the next time up there on the big water. But I was happy how it worked the first time. I need to make up shallow jointed type baits for the next trip. I turned some ceder jointed bodies this week to try out. Perch colors worked great along with chub/darter patterns. I will have a salmon pattern ready to go the next time also. Hey thanks again everyone for your support with the baits. What a great site this is. I hope everyones summer is going great with lots of fish!

Posts: 399 Location: Burton, Ohio | Hey everyone, I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I thought I would post some more recent ones. Shorter daylight and lakes freezing over thoughts turn to fishing lures. I will going to the Chicago Musky Show to hang out with some friends. I hope to meet people from this site. Send me a pm or something telling me where you'll be hanging out. Lots of great people here! I started to play more with some resin baits. I guess just a bit lazy on shaping the bodies over and over. Resins have their pluses and minus's.

Posts: 399 Location: Burton, Ohio | I did do some cedar bodied shads also. I tapered the body width wise on the taper. I gave it more of a swimming actions than a wobble action. They trolled very smooth!

Posts: 399 Location: Burton, Ohio | I tried some smaller gliders also. They are only like in the 4" range. I called them dribble shads. They had crazy action and stopped on a dime!
