Yesterday at the Natural Resources Commission meeting in Lansing, science prevailed thanks to many, many persons who took the time to write in, and especially those who showed up to speak before the Commission on Commissioner Walters’ amendment to close bass fishing on the Inland Waterway and Black Lake from May 1 until the third Saturday in June.

Let's start a separate thread with photos of our work...I'll go first  ;D  The first couple are for personal use (the goby pattern is still a work in progress and actually started out as a completely different species of baitfish...lol) and the jerkbaits were going to be for personal use, but I have decided to donate them to Dan to be used as door prizes at the DK Open tomorrow...

Nice job Jeff, You got me beat.

Cheetam

I didn't know it was a competition Benny :D...I've seen pictures of the fish you've caught on your baits Benny, mine haven't felt a drop of water yet...you must be doing something right!
Jeff

bassinman#1

No competition at all, just a good compliment on your work. Will save the competition for the tourneys. See ya at the Kent Open at the end of the month.

GotstaFish

Nice work you guys  :) I've tried painting (with spray cans) and decided to stick with making skirts instead  ;D

I had taken some pictures, but I don't see them on my laptop.  I might have left them on the camera.  I'll look tonight.  However, I did find this photo of the original batch you made (which I have...:-))

hmmmm....I think I've seen one of those somewhere before... :D

Hmmmm' now we know what to use to catch those bedding bass, Thanks for the tip Steve.

A couple new baits I did this week...just waiting on a clear coat.  Man this is fun!
Jeff

did you ever consider a  "' Cheetam / Mccarter / Barrows "  color.  I would Imagine the colors  Amber ( beer ),  with black splotches ( Kodiak Chew Spit ) color. 
Might even replace Sexy Shad as the new hot bait.

No, but I am trying to figure out how to incorporate the half a senko into one of my baits.  How much to use your patent?
Jeff

dartag

we will have to work something out. 

my color would be Peanut Butter and Jelly.

Beautiful work!  I love the detail on the bluegill...very sharp!  Do you sell on eBay?  Your name looks familiar for some reason...
