Come on March!!! Big toothy critters are a waitin'. been making some of my own Musky/Pike lures, and can't wait to try them out. At $30-$60 a pop, it's worth it. Gives u a little sence of pride too, just like making ur own flys, if u catch anything on them!!

GOOOD MORNNNINNG New JERSEY!!
Went fishing on Friday morning. Even though it was about 50 degrees and sunny, I had to paddle through the ice to get to some soft water.  Used different lures but to no availl.  SKUNKED!!  Ah,  maybe next time I'll Get Em!

Hey Steve,  How ya doin?  Yeah, I'm going to start to tie some things myself.  Your right, it will make it more satisfying catching something on one you created yourself.   Post some pics if you have a chance.  I'd like to see what a pike will bite at.

these are the first two I've made, before I got my lathe. had to shape them by hand. 12" long, about 2 ozs. Not quite what u use for trout.

Hell!  Their bigger than some of the trout I"ve caught!!

The old saying holds true "Big bait, big fish". You might get a big old Laker, or Brown to take one of them.

GOOOOD  MORNNNNING NEW JERSEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

        

I Hope to get out on wednesday, but it sounds like cold in the morning               and snow in the afternoon.

well we got some snow up here in central Jersey. about 4-5 ins. got to do some playing in the snow with my truck, and try my new tires out. Now it can get warmer so we can get out in our boats!!

 I think we might be the only 2 people who are on this page most every day.

Yep, Your right, only two members in NJ.  It will make for an interesting meet.  I don't think we'll get such a good discount on T-Shirts.

We got about 2 inches of snow, and then rain.  I have been busy with stuff at home, so I haven't had much time to get out.  I hope to get out soon if the weather cooperates.

And a lovely cold morning it is too!!  I'm hoping for mild weather on wed and thurs, like monday was ( about 52 degrees ) But I don't think that's gonna happen.  

I should probably say good night, because it's time for me to go to bed.

Gotta get up at 7am. for the one daughter, then a cat nap. 8:15am for the other daughter , then a cat nap.  9:30am for the wife's doctor appointment and then hope to catch another cat nap before I'm off to work again.

   The boat is gettin' lonely..not feeling the love! lol

Good Morning NJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

supposed to be 55 degs. here Monday...might have to go out and throw some lures around....little test and tune session for the new lure. I hope it's going to start staying warmer. 50-60 degs is OK.

Yeah Man!,   It's going to be 60 on Monday and Tuesday. 

 Going try to get out at least Monday. I have the Doctors Monday, The wife, tuesday.  Figures though, I think rain for Wednesday.

 

  But I'll squeeezz it in somewhere.  Spring is a comin'!!!!

Great day Monday. too bad I didn't get out to at least get the line wet. Aahhh well, some time this week!!

GOOD MOrning New Jersey!!!   I got out Monday for a little while. Caught a new personal record 13 bass  and a Crappie( Most all little ones) on a stick bait. They are definitely waking from their winter slumber.   Beautiful day in Mid sixties. I actually got a sunburn. I had fun. I needed it.

WOW...great day! might get the boat out this weekend(I hope!!) pike should be getting active. the lake we fish for pike has some big crappies too. we caught quite a few last year 2-2.5 lbs, I had one in the summer chase a big lead head with a 6 in. shad right to the boat, had it on for a couple of seconds and lost it, had to be 3-3.5 lbs.

I'm joansin' bad, get to get out soon.
