As promised this last winter. Nothing fancy on the video as wife was my camera person. What is hard to tell on the video is position of soldering tip. When soldering hold tip on the two objects you are soldering together. Close to the tip but not touching it let the solder rest on the objects...

Since my son went on his own. We have had rare chances to fish together. So since he was left to his own devices in Nebraska for a week. His daughter got an honors student trip to Washington. His wife had to go to some sort of military school for training. He decided to sneak home here in Ohio...

Last year lost one of my favorite ultralights to a run away fish. This was my first loss of rod from boat in over 60 years of fishing. After that swore that will not happen again. Well the fish done made a liar out of me again. Was using jig on one rod and live baiting with slip bobber on...

Almost never bank fish anymore but on rare occasions I do venture out. Weather was so miserable and I thought all wrong for where I was headed. As per usual I was wrong. Trip started out cold but ended hot. Once again a muskie interrupted my battle with the crappie. Only one this time and only...

I thought I went crappie fishing today. While we had some success at that mostly was smallmouth bass , bluegills , bullhead , warmouth , walleye and then this rascal Thought well muskies are rare on occasion , I tie into another one about 15 minutes later. The one in pic was only 24 inch or...

Was on Regal Engineering site drooling over their new vise named the Revolution. I decided to look at their fly videos. One of the episodes the fly was named the White Death and it is supposed to be an emerald shiner imitation. Well I have never seen an emerald shiner pattern that I did not...

I don't know if this is going to work or not. Trying to show how the " no name " I am trying to imitate looks under water. Found an old aquarium and now I got a test device again. Please excuse poor video skills if this does work.

After tying many prototypes I decided these are the ones I am going with this spring. Naturally I could not leave his highly successful lure as is. There will be other color and size combos but these are all going to look basically like these four here. I hope Mr Fujita approves where ever he is.

Got to talking about old lures on another thread here at Jigcraft and this old timer was mentioned. Anyone have an idea about how to make the leaded hook for this one ? This is an articulated pattern tied on I believe # 10 hooks. the rear hook is all covered by the fluff of white marabou. I...

At my age (64 ) I have been getting way too many of these kind of calls. When it rings that early you know its NEVER good news. This morning was no exception. My 57 year old cousin had passed in his sleep. He was so much more than a cousin , a great fishing partner , close as a brother , and...

Anyone else excited by the slurpees and mimic minnows. Got a few for Christmas and really didn't get excited about them until I started re-arranging the old tackle box for another division. While I was prepping storage system for them I tried them in a water container. Guys they look pretty...

The big ones on the right are an experiment this year. Figured I would try the bigger one on walleyes and maybe slab crappie thru the ice. The other smaller ones with the eyes are proven producers over the years. Over the years the red eyes have been a go to. The spoons with dropper hooks are...

Got this for sale for 375.00 It has the dual degree transducer 9/19 user choice with switch. Great shape no problem with it. Got a Humminbird 55 last year and I don't need two flashers. PM me if interested.

Meat for the Winter is what my dad used to call catching perch in the fall. Pulled this limit of 30 out of Lake Milton which is NOT known as a good perch lake. But they don't call me " papaperch for nothing ". Swedish pimples with a dropper hook with 1/2 small worm was deadly. Also what is known...
