Has been lots of talk about running another tie-&-post type thread.  Not a whole lot of advance notice, but lets give it a shot for Saturday night, 2/27..  I have nothing better to do Saturday night.  :D

Just might get another brief chance on the ice here, if the oh so dependable weather forecast holds true.  Probably a few days at most.  Tied me up a few fresh tungsten jigs... just in case.  Sure love how heavy the tungsten heads are at such a small size.  Only problem is that you really only...

Took up an invitation from a member of OhioGameFishing to fish a private borrow pit from a highway. Good chance to knock the dust off the ice gear, but quite possibly ruined my ice season for the rest of the year! Can not remember a day on the ice with so many QUALITY fish in my life. That is...

Painted up my swap jigs last night and went down to bake/cure them tonight.  Painted up a couple spoons while they cooked.  The walleye at a few of my local reservoirs are still on my mind.  Ice is just starting to set in so i can't get out and cast anymore.  Wondering if i can't get out after...

Just picked this up last week! :D Length is 5 feet longer than our other camper and has some nice bells and whistles.  Crazy thing is, even with it being longer, it weighs LESS than our other one.  It was almost a 10 year jump between model years, so new materials and configurations i am sure...

Felt good to tie a few tonight.  JungleJim very kindly sent me a handful of the new herring jigs to play with.  Painted them up a little while ago and decided i needed to tie a couple. Just by the looks, the first try (white/grey/black) may be too full to allow the blade to spin.  I laid down a...

Well, the software upgrade finally pushed through today after only a few hiccups.  I also added a new default avatar that fit the theme of the site. :)  Decorated up the logo for the season.  Some of the default style settings have changed with the upgrade and i tried to manipulate a few so it...

Couple forums have a 'Big Fish' or 'Random Fish' thread. Since we are all jig heads..... post your pics with a jig in the lip. :jig: Got this bass today.........

Got out and did some perch fishing with Dad on his boat on Thursday. Beautiful weather to put it mildly. High got up in the 60's and had plenty of sunshine. Left from West Harbor and headed North about 8 miles i think, darn near to Canadian water. Fished Gull Island Shoal off the north...

It's that time again! Only been out a few times so far because the water temps are not really coming down all that much yet. Lots of reports from other lakes south and east of me, but not much locally. Have been getting really nice bass on previous trips, but no walleye... till tonight...

Water temps are really coming down, had a few freeze/frosts and feeling like Fall. Haven't been able to connect with any walleye yet, but the bluegill at my hometown reservoir are starting to show up in their late season area they seem to come back to each year. I usually can catch them all...

The web-host that i use for JigCraft.com is in the process of transitioning ownership from one company to another. Of course i've received a few emails already saying the transition will not affect my site or commerce store (the secure login database used for the forum is the same that is used...

Seems like these are all i've been tying. Kind of funny, but have really whittled my selection that i carry down to a few favorite styles specific to the different species. Stocking these doll fly types up for the fall shoreline walleye. Once this wind stops blowing, going to give them a...

Happy birthday down in LA swamp lands. Think we have 2 ta'day. ;) Hope you have a good one! :beer: :cake:

Just got a new (lease) truck and REFUSE to let the dog or kids ride in it till we get some seat covers. Ok, maybe let the dog, but NOT the kids. :P So, does anyone have suggestions for decent seat covers that won't kill me pocket book? Truck is a Super Cab F150 so want to cover both front &...

Sure love fall. Always lots to harvest. I have tomatoes coming out of my ears. Tiny cherry, sweet sweet yellow pear, roma and big purple heriloom tomatoes. Dug all my potatoes last week and have them stored away. The blackberry plants are still producing nice fruit and even had a 2nd...

The cool temps sure have me thinking of fall walleye! Tied a few this evening with those toothy critters in mind. Really need to stock up on some panfish as well before winter set in. Have i ever mentioned that i suck at ice fitching? Also want to mention that my new camera is NOT the best...

Decided to take pics as i was tying my swap jigs. Gave me a chance to experiment with my new camera. Got it as a Fathers day present to keep in my tackle bag..... thinking it is not the best choice for macro pics. Had a heck of a time getting colors and white balance to stay consistent. It...

Kids went off to G-Ma's & G-Pa's... so i went off to the reservoir looking for some walleye. Fished for about 2 hours at sunset and really only fed the rocks. I caught 2 fish, a monster bluegill and a big fat cat. When i hooked the cat, thought for sure i had a walleye at first, but then it...

Thinking of doing a smaller Summer sale for clothing and just wanted to see if there would be enough interest to bother with it. Not taking orders yet..... just checking. Post here or PM me if you think you would like a hat OR a shirt. Printed stuff would have the same design as earlier this...
