Title: Blue gills gotta love em
Post by: MO QWACK on 12/04/14 20:33 UTC: I've been practicing my blue gills and advice? They seems to be a fish where no two are the same color. I like the way these turned out I used more orange and red this time.

Post by: ctom on 12/04/14 20:50 UTC: The top two pics really resemble a sunfish but I sure do like that one in the third picture.

Nice work. Drew just send those to you?

Post by: 21xdc on 12/04/14 21:21 UTC: I just got my order of those today... I drilled holes in mine to remove three 1/4 inch balls to make them float and wake bait as a topwater... Yours look nice... I posted some fish identification link pics not long ago with many different patterns to choose from... Look for it.

Post by: Denny Welch on 12/04/14 21:26 UTC: You've got it all wrong, Tom. I have it on pretty good authority that he's been buying the finished cranks from Tom1448. He then sticks his hand in a bucket of paint, picks up Tom's bait, takes a pic and pawns off Tom's bait as his own. Despicable.

That's why Ryan took the bait swap away from him. He was taking all the good stuff for himself and putting his junk baits in the bags. Despicable, just despicable.

Post by: MonteSS on 12/04/14 23:43 UTC: Really nice job. I especially like the first more subtle version. Although with the gold sides and bold black triangle stripes looks a lil perchie.

Maybe flanks more white. Lighter misting on the back and side stripes should just barely show and fade to belly. Lil less bright on orange and not so far back too. Dont forget the ears

I am being VERY critical. Dont take this the wrong way. Oh yeah and I need them on Wart KO blanks :)

Looks to be with paint to blend the details. I could be wrong. I know people can do some good stuff with a printer. Either way paint or print they catch fish

Post by: Justin9j on 12/05/14 10:36 UTC: Drew is jealous he can cut on the lines.
What do you coat the paper with?
Title: Re: Blue gills gotta love em
Post by: Muskygary on 12/05/14 10:52 UTC: Most of those look like stencils were used. They're a lot better than I can make! Very nice. Question do you make your stencils or where do you get them from?

Post by: andrewlamberson on 12/05/14 11:35 UTC: I can color inside the lines in my Grandson's coloring book! All those baits go beyond A+ !

Title: Re: Blue gills gotta love em
Post by: 21xdc on 12/05/14 15:34 UTC: My first 6 pics are paint... The rest are photo finish and they look 5 times better in person. Makes me never want to paint again.

I'm constantly re inventing the mouse trap, I'm not normal :P ;D :-\ :-X
