I had a little bit of time today
« on: 08/26/13 13:39 UTC »
The whole family is home today and sometimes you just need a break when everyone is hanging inside because it is too hot outside. I was able to take advantage of the Dog Days of summer discount,(hurry there is only a couple days left) and I purchased the Super Fry. Well on my last trip out my buddy made mention I only shoot dark or natural color baits. So I decided to try something different.


I have no idea what to call it, and it is a bit darker than what I was aiming for but I still like it.
4oz Do It Plastic
4 drops X2 Blue
tad of blue stranded glitter.

In my ventures to clear the work bench a bit I had 2 chunks of plastic that had been mixed using scraps before, so who knows what the cookbook would be, but I had orange and red, a bit of raw plastic to bring it together and a tad of black 40 glitter. I really like this color but shamefully will not be able to get back to it. Maybe the X2 Tomato I picked up will help me get close
 

The end of my get away time I have a couple of new baits to try

That's a great spread of color there Brent.

I find orange colors to be the best right about now when summers heat drives fish and the thermocline deep. Try that orange on a hot pink head.

Nice work Brent.. I thought about going out into the garage also but when I saw the thermometer read 102 degrees I decided to stay in with the dog.

Oh yeah that was at 11:30 this afternoon

We're in the 80's today.  About time to break out the sweaters.
Until next time.

Sweaters? We don't even put a t-shirt on here until we get down to 32 degrees.

Good looking baits Brent! Maybe this will get you close to the orange color, just replace the glitter.
