Thanks Ronnie have fun at the fish lift this weekend

Lol what is snow I keep reading the threads about it but I only shovelled a couple time this year well the drive way I did the side walk a few times and the snowblower worked 1 day I love the SW Ontario winters

Got ya down Chris

No it was finger he test each colour pattern on them lol

Thanks guys for the odyssey we will just have the black/white shirts and stickers. I wanted to get the colour ones but it looks like they will not be done in time. The shirts are short sleeve only but are the high quality guilden ultra ones not cheap thin crappy ones these will last. Like my lures I want to have a better product.

Hey Tyler I'm not gonna bring tons of stuff if you want to share my table. I did here they have a couple left if you want one.

Lol George that is where you live. Coll see you there Adam

Pete your killing it doing a awesome job keep at it

I was going to see if I could make it but no one else wanted to join me from here. Then some guys started one here I hope they are both great

Pike I hope but most likely pickerel

I was wondering who was going to the swap meet here in Chatham April 20th?

Dang we have had open water for a month in lsc just waiting for them eyes to get out to the lake here.

I'm a little off so it look perfect to me

Thanks guys

Thanks guys I to love this logo. Sorry but no colour shirts As for copy write I waited to respond here until I found out and yes it has his own copy write on it and I have full rights to use it from the artist. All is good there thanks again for the good words all

Well when I first released my black/white logo I wanted to release this one first or at the same time but I could not get it to save as it is a huge file yesterday my sticker guy helpped me out and I now have it on my computer. Here is the new colour logo hope ya all like it.

Thanks so much Paul it has been awesome building a buisness that I never even thought of or dreamed of when I first got into building baits. I started at Christmas of 2005 with a starter kit from luremaking.com to build bucktail for myself and maybe some for friends to pass out and use. But with the support of family and friends it has grown leaps and bounds. My ofc family has been very supportive and that is awesome. Three of my biggest supporters are from here one is George Outlaw with out his encouragement and his wifes coffee (and support) Im not sure I would have been building them like I did he gave me alot of buisness smarts and passed info along of things not to do I try and listen to him all the time as he has been around the fishing world longer then most of the OFC family have been alive. (George that is not a Jab at your age jsut we have a young crew me included) I do listen but forget so we have to go over the lessons again I have never been a great stuident. Brian Slowpoke he encouraged me to take the baits to the market and sell them I was leary but he convinced me in2009 so in 2010 I did and it has been awesome ever since.With stores poping up and sales to OFC friends I know I would not have brought them out with out his constant encouragement that they were good enough for waht ever reason I did not think I could sell them the confidance was not there for me. Ron Ronnie is the thrid what can I say about him NOTHING as he has helpped me in so many ways if I start to list them I will miss something like George he has been there since the start and had a hand in almost every step of the way from crap one off baits that did not work to well the sky is the limit for his help. Thanks Ronnie With that said there have been so many OFC friends here who should be mentenoed but the list is so long you all know who you are and you dont go un noticed from myself we talk all the time or often either online or text or phone Thanks to everyone of you. The support is awesome. I guess there is one supporter who stands out over all that is my father he was so excited to see each step that I did he would come over and watch me build baits and always had pictures of them and musky that we caught. He would sit at McD's for coffee showing them off LOL Im sure every one there wanted to see them. He always told me to never cheap out or cut corners use the best componets you can get spend more to build a lure and dont worry about what you make on them as the quality will sell its self.Well he was right I always think of him when I get them emails from new customers who are eacited when they get there lures in the mail and love the quality that is what its all about. Thanks Dad Tyler thats all good I have changed things alot since startup alot of trial and error so yes yours would have been a one of a kind. I did not know you felt so bad about it that you were holding so much guilt that you actuall named your first born after me that was killer awesome of you and happy 1st B-Day to your little man Parker LOL. Will Do G Got it and sent ya one back

I don't use PayPal much anymore most do the bank Etransfer when ordering its easy.

Thanks guys I will be at the odyssey with them and yes I can ship them out Canada post. They are $15 that includes over sized I have M-3XL plus shipping if there is a bunch of you that want them I can ship to one person and you can meet up to save shipping that's not a problem.

Hey all I just picked up my shirts from display FX in Chatham today and am so excited as they did a awesome job. For all the guys who ordered them you can stop by the house to get them I will be around most of the weekend. I must thank slowpoke for hooking me up with his friend Wayne Deadder who designed the logo I'm going to try and post the full colour logo this weekend it's stupid awesome. Oh yeah google Wayne he is a killer airbrush guy and a awesome guitar player.

Ice out watch??? Dang I forgot that some places in Ontario actually had good ice this year. I love the MODIS site been using it for 8 years or so now to help figure out where to go fishing. Awesome shots of the Great Lakes for sure

Pete your doing awesome keep at it

Down here on the Detroit river and lsc for walleye it matters and they change during the day kinda cool to figure it out. When I fished up north I liked plain lead heads with the different twister colours. If i was using minnows I would use different colours

Great report thanks for taking the time to put it together
