Messing With Their Head

[BareKnuckleJigs]

I like the GloFrog idea, Mr. Paul!  A bit in the other direction, and addressing other strategies like night fishing the Dog Days of Summer.  I'm diggin' it like ShovelHead!

Cooked 8 oz.s of Soft with no color, shot some 3" Croakers, put all the scraps back in the pot, added some non-X2 Brown, some .015" and .040" Navy Blue flake, then hand-poured some 3" Sparkle Beetles, now marinating in Craw Scent.  The classic 3" Sparkle Beetle (OP) makes a decent, small Running Craw bait, oddly similar to a Missile Craw...also quite nice in Red Shad/Green.

The 3" Croakers are near-water-clear and I really think they'll be pretty serious.

And THAT... is what is so cool about making your own baits.  Welcome to the forum Mr. FIN.  We're all glad you are here.  Make yourself at he and enjoy.  - By Jerry V

Thank you Jerry.  I am new here...  and I do like the forum .... but I must say this ....    your avatar....   the picture of that kid in those glasses -  well, it is " FREAKING me out !!!"....LOL        It is messing with my head ....LOL

Actually, that is an actual photograph of Jerry.  We just don't talk about it much.

I was going to say the same thing Denny. Actually that avatar picture shows his age real well. He was something when he was younger and both eyes worked.

A lot of you may not be aware - but Jerry was a wrestling superstar in high school and will probably flip both of you like a cheese omelet at the get-together!  You might want to apologize before it's too late!

I've been kinda trying to figure out Who's Who, just so You know who You're talking to.  I saw a pic with Jason and Diane, and I think it was some of the Do-It Crew.  I've spoken to Ryan and Jerry, and they both sound like they're my age, maybe even younger.  The few guys I saw in the pic look like they might have me beat by 5-10 years.  They sound a little younger, so I think there may be a hidden message in Jerry's avatar...?

Both Ryan and Jerry are great guys. Met both on more than one occasion. Its hard to imagine Jerry in tights though....much easier imagining him wrestling with a keg of beer.

Well, if that's true he had better be a champion weightlifter too.

[BareKnuckleJigs]

And I definitely agree that they're both good guys.  I also think it's kicks to occasionally poke at a Big Dawg.  8D

BKJ, the photo that I think you're talking about is a pic of the Barnes family with Ryan and Jason H from Do-It.  There has never been a picture of Ryan and me together as I just won't allow it. 

We, all three, are relatively the same age, (we'll just say mid 40's) and we're a lot like the rest of Y'all.  We're just a bunch of guys that love to fish and find it very hard to fish as much as we would like.  What, with work and family obligations and all, it only leaves a few precious moments to actually enjoy the privilege, but we "Do-It" every chance we get. 

Speaking of photos...  I just today got my Christmas card from our Jason H..  Thought I'd share the family photo with Y'all.








Good lookin' bunch, don't ya think? 

There's nothing wrong with poking fun once in a while.  It's one of those things that makes life better.  Merry Christmas everyone.

  Now that is to funny !

[BareKnuckleJigs]

Ay roger on'nat!

I'd have to turn that heater down a tad!

[ctom]

He needs a b cup....on.

[Denny Welch]

Ya know, some of us guys are a bit older than the mid-40's.  I think you should keep that in mind, Jerry, before you spring pictures like that on us.  We need
warnings.    Just sayin'.  It's a safety issue.
