Greetings!!
Just thought I would showcase 2 lures that have produced recently.
1. Dollarama Slama
2. Mepps (aka: Clive) homemade spinner (tipped with a finger tip)
Dollarama Slama
As many of you know, this can be a pricey sport. I am the fishing uncle in the family who has seen his expensive lures adorn tree tops and the bottomless abyss.
I bought some lures at Dollarama to reduce these expenses with the kiddies and also to use these lures as scouts or the proverbial “Canary in a coal mine” when testing a new lake with lots of wood debris.
The other day I caught the following 38 ½” pike as well as a 2-3lbs. OOS Largie in clear water.
The pike was particularly amazing because it followed, could clearly see the $1 lure and took multiple violent strikes at it, right up to the dock!
That tells me that at close range, the pike was either crazy or was genuinely fooled by the lure.
I really like the action of this lure too. It has beads in it, is pseudo suspending and easy to see in the water
All my junior fishing boys and girls will be receiving this lure as a gift!
Mepps Mambo
Last year on a fishing trip Clive (aka: Mepps, stumpy) traded me this lure for gas money.
I have had success but never posted a catch.
I wonder if Clive and Jon used this in Vermillion? (my pike are guppies)
Here you go. Thanks Clive and CONGRATS ON THE BABY!!!
EDIT:
My motivation in life is to make enough money to buy boats and race horses so that I can invent ridiculous names for them:
Thanks
P.S. 2 MORE WEEKS TO BASS OPENER!!!
