Ladi da.

Flounder eat it up though! Hand pouring allows cool things. 

  

Lure dev elopement is a slow process. I have what I want. But I keep thinking I can make it better. More molds and more testing. Hard for a dude with a full schedule and a fishing spot that's giving up lots of flounder. Can't stop fishing man. It's my lifeblood. 

Killer days.

Fishing has been absolutely stellar. Caught a limit of trout on a prototype soft plastic. Trout jumping out of the water going after a plug. Beautiful weather. What can I say. Life is good. Don't have time or the will to write at length on things lately. But the times are worth remembering. 

Hey guess what happened in the town I live in?

All these things. 

Home made lures and trials of patience.

I have made lures. Ones that didn't work like I wanted but still caught fish. Ones that I was sure would work bit failed and spun like a corkscrew in the water. Ones that were just plain failures also. And none of the time spent designing, building, and testing were a waste. All these failures and trials are stepping stones. Experience gained and knowledge collected to one day be focused into creations that are simple perfection. So many ideas that are in need of doing once and failing at. Only to be reworked multiple times until personal vision and function come together in a piece of plastic that does what I want. To swim right and catch fish. So many ideas. Some are probably just unnessicary. Like the broken back plastic lure. I have made this in the past before I dabbled in pouring plastisol. It can be done. But without a tail with a yet undiscovered action is developed it works just like a regular shrimp tail jig. This is one idea. But time is short. I need to focus the muse on current projects. The goal is to create lures that I want that I can't get in stores. Ones that I will fish exclusively. By that I mean I will only have those in my box. No name brands. No more shopping for soft lures. Only looking. Only designing only building. Big things start with small beginnings. And if I can catch a limit of fish plus some on a lure I designed that doesn't even work right. What might happen when I solve the design flaws? Te will only tell. Time that involves my favorite thing to do. Fishing. 

Lure making and beer tasting

I have started to make lures for personal use. Plastisol, silicon molds, hot stuff. I have honestly not done much fishing lately. Weather has been bad. I did catch a couple nice trout before it got cold again. They were following huge balls of shad and when the shad moved through the trout went with them. The weather has been good for drinking beer though.
