Nice clear waters to fish. Cant believe it,s that clear after all the rain you talked about. Wish I had that up here.Clear,not rain.LOL Nice fish Mike.

I,ll bet the smelts are staging. Got to get out and get me some this weekend.

Hobby shop.

Well I put 3 - #3 shot on a line and attached to the floats. All the balsa floats passed with flying colors. The others,well,they will be used for crappies and perch jigs.LOL Lesson learned here. So looks like I need to get me some balsa and restock.LOL

Thanks again all This I would of never thought. Thanks BG

These look very cool. I like the two bottom left ones.

Sorry missed this. Thanks for the tip Dave. Found it on line. Will be stopping by to pick some up.

Woodies are my fav. Great shots. I have been leaving early mornings from my place the last week listening to the mating calls of the cardinals. They sing sweet music. I think this morning they were singing, open water is coming.LOL

Just might see myself out there come Sunday.

BEAUTIFUL Very nice Bernie.

I started out trying to make them with one stem, but found the bit was going off center. So now Im going in from both ends. Quick and easy. Thats a sweet set up. Mind if I try making one like that? I am looking for some kind of decal I can put on mine as well. Nice job there.

Cool pictures Dave.

BOLD WIN Ducks vs Jets Blues vs Wild Canucks Vs Flames Predators Vs Blackhwaks here is the east again NYR vs PITS MTL vs OTT---- This could be an ugly series. DET vs TB NYI vs WAS

Side kick to the chin. Works everytime. Then theres the other,that has a clear shot at,,,,,,,,,,,,well that would be a fault, but would be painful.LOL Well done G.

Thanks again Slips are on the way. Just working on what I want to use for the slip tube. I played around putting one together this morning. Not to happy with it. As I stated,I knew the colors were not what they should be. I can sand and dip the tops again when I find the right color,and re varnish. Thanks for the post Sauce.

FNA I use a small lathe. I also use a small angle grinder with sand paper disc,s. I make the form I want then finish with 500 grit paper. The ones that are black and red/yellow, are balsa. The others are poplar. It,s a very dense wood,so it is light. Thanks Andrew. Terry,well ya, there are a few for you.LOL Thanks Bill. I havent tried yet,but will let you know.These are a starting point for me. I can only get better once I have used them. One can spend lots of time making them purdy,but when it comes down to it,they are just strike indicators. I was getting tired of watching $4-$6 floats , floating down the Notty.

Awhile back I had asked a few questions about making floats. With the price of these things today, I decided to make some of my own. These are my firsts, and know the top colors need to be more vibrant, but ones got to start some where. You will notice I have the top pegs taller then norm. My thinking is to keep the line out of the water more at the float. is this good or bad as far as setting the hook? Your comments on anything I need to improve or change, would be helpful. The total cost on material was $14 and change. That is including the paint and stain and satin varnish. I still have enough of that to make another 100 if need be.

X2 Great shots Simon
