I am generally a pretty laid back person, but my fuse got short, and had to call a "coming to Jesus" meeting with my crew today. We have had a few mechanical problems in the last week ( which have been repaired ) and I haven't been getting a hell of a lot of sleep. The paperwork to resolve the...

I kind of brought this up in another thread, and am interested in how you guys generally tie your jigs?? I'll let you guys know what my steps are, and see if you guys do it about the same, or do it differently. I am pretty much self-taught, and have never watched someone else tie a jig, except a...

Nothing does a sailor good like a few green eyed ladies.... but..some jigs will have to do tonight!

I remember a day in March about 8 years ago... fishing in the 5 acre pond on my Parent's place...with my Dad. Its about 100 acre farm right on Birch creek on the shores of the famous Lake Fork. We were fishing plain lead head jigs with dark grey chenille, red hackle tail with a splash of grey...

Tied up some Black and Chartreuse Foxtails 1/16 and some 1/8 Pink and Chartreuse Chi-duck-ens with a Ruby Slipper head. I am trying to limit myself to a dozen a night, because I don't have enough heads to last me for 4 weeks if I tie much more than that...LOL If I find some patterns that are...

I saw a Peak vise while in town with my wife.... She said if I was a good boy.... That I could get one for father's day. Any body have any input on how they are? I have been tying on my old Thompson AA vise since high school... And have not tied on anything else besides my old streamside vise...

Just got back offshore, and caught up on my sleep, so had a few minutes before hitting the rack and tied up these 2 new patterns. I really like this new age chenille I got from Grandpa Bob's..... It was worth the wait!!! real nice stuff.

I spent nearly 3 hours painting up these 30 jig heads... I think it is my best work yet. I will begin tying some on them real soon, with my new selection of chenille.... I love it when a plan comes together!!!

Well.... got called back to work early again...3 days early... At least my order from Grandpa Bobs showed up on Saturday.... So now I have LOTS of chenille.... but am short on jig heads!!! I was planning on pouring a bunch today, but got the call to get back to work yesterday, and ended up...

Well.... I have been run out of the house now... So I built a tying bench in my shop. Still have to make some shelves for it, but the milk crates will work for now! Just painted up about 75 jigs using it.... So it has been broken in already!!

I found this vise today, while looking thru some of my old tackle.... My Dad bought this for me when I was about 10 or 11 around 1978 0r 79. He was stationed at the Air Force Academy then, and we would do a lot of trout fishing in the mountains. He had got a fly tying kit for a birthday or...

Well we got word....we will be crew changing on Tuesday...which happens to be Mardi Gras day.... I'll be playing hell trying to travel out of south Louisiana (New Orleans area) to get home to East Texas.... Oh well!! Laissez le bon ton roulette!! Probably won't be able to find a sack of...

I have had several requests on another forum to sell a few jigs. I have always told everybody that I don't do it to sell them, but if they were close enough, I would give them a few, or trade some for a fishing trip....or something similar. I try to point some of these guys to some reputable...

Weather finally eased up enough to tie a few up without my stuff sliding all over my desk... I really like this one....looks like a spawning Sac-a-lait killer!!!

Here is a Mahi Mahi, Dorado, Dolphin....whatever you want to call it. I caught him on a hand-made diamond jig... with a little purple and blue hackle tied on the treble hook. I lost the Jig on another (bigger) one.... or I would of included it as well. He was filleted up quickly, and was...
