Hey guys! Celebrated Patriots Day fishing and with an American flag flying of the back of my boat! Caught 12 Bigmouths and a pike... nothing too big, but always fun to catch. Here was the first: Toothy I used one of my handmade inline spinners: Real Fish Bait Image Spinner Hi.. I'm Chip and I am: A SENKOHOLIC These are some double jointed hand carved top water jerks that I make.. They are similar to the Rapala J Series: Fish One Fish Two I lost a nice one that easily went 4 - 5 pounds. I had it hooked on a Rattle Trap (one I bought) in Fire Tiger, but I let the darn line get loose trying to adjust the drag and he slipped off! All In All...A Great Day! Yall Take Care! Chip

I dont suffer from lack of room like I thought i would. What is nice is when the water is ruff or the wind if kickin... Will keep your partner dry and trust me.... big water will still come over that boat in boat wake or rough weather water. If you fish the cooler months... it will keep you warm and dry. I live in Michigan now, so Whether I am 5 miles out on the Great lakes or on an inland pond, Double console is great! I can get up to 55mph with the 90hp that i have. But get all the HP you can afford! You can always throttle back, but you can only give it so much gas. Take Care! Chip

i have the same boat, but wit the double console... i love it. you ought to consider the double console. chip

Amen DANO!!! you got it 100% right! Chip

Jed: I ship Global Priority over borders and Express within... You get free tracking if you prepare the shipment online. Contact me if you want more info. Chip

AW... So We Have A "Battle Of The Babes" Tshirt Contest with a wild MOJO kid on the side! Here is my entry: LOL Yall Take Care! Chip [/img]

Now those are some FINE statements!!! I tell yah fellas...Someone sayin it is GREAT!! is good for the ego, but not the progression of the task. Many things you mentioned, like bait challenge, BIGGER FISH (this is my only fish caught on tape), more fish catchin, etc...I have thought of and will do...I appreciate you validating my thoughts as well as giving me new ideas! Regarding the 2 lb bass.... the average size bass caught is 1.5 to 2.5 lbs. If a Tournament fisher caught five 2 pounders a day in a tournamnet, they would just about walk away with angler of the year.... Its the few BIGUNS that put them over the top. If I get a bigun though.... you bet it will be on video! Good comment though TMCustoms! I dreamed this whole project up about a week ago and went out and bought hardware, software, etc... to be able to do it. This was my first project as a short video producer.... I guess since no one said it stinks!!! LOL , I must be headin in the right direction.... I need to get deadlystreamer up here in Clarkston for some filming and to give him a graphics disk.... Thanks So Much for your input! Regards and your friend! Chip

Naw...I appreciate the input... Polightly speaking, I should say for the record that if my friend Jerry feels that this post (above) is not appropriate here, he can remove it. I am not intending on advertising to lure makers... LOL, but I respect Jerry's opinion for his own site. Regarding the concept, I am going to do some broadband instructional things... i.e. luremaking (not on the retail site), fishing instruction, and the such.... This was my first attempt and walked away feeling giddy about it! LOL Anyway DeVeryTY, I think you are exactly correct with regard to getting people back to the site. Thanks for the input! Take Care! Chip

Hey All... I did these myself for some web advertising, but I have not let them loose other than on my site.... Comments welcomed: Broadband File Dial Up File You should just be able to click on the links above... but if you have problems, you can Right Click on "Save Target As".... Save it and then click "OPEN". The original file is 120MB and clear as can be.... but to compress them for viewer downloads takes the crispness out of the vids... the downloads about are 1.3MB dial up and 2.6MB for the broadband. Be honest.... Yall (and a couple other forum sites) are the focus group.... Thanks Chip

Yall know that Joel and Ron on my pro staff have fished the 2002 and 2003 BM classic! I spoke with Joel this morning and he came in 3rd on the Champlain tourney! He said he should have won it, but it did get him a spot to fish in Maine for the finals!!! Closer to the Bassmaster big show baby!!! He arrived in Buffalo, NY today to fish the Everstarts! The other stuff: We have added video to the site! I will be publishing Pro Staff Instuctional videos for free viewing as soon as these fellas get off the road... I have posted a couple on the main page if you would like to see the concept. Click Here For Video Footage Links The videos are in the left hand column. If you have any LUNKER video you want me to feature, just email me copies of your tapes and I will convert them to digital files for video viewing! Yall Take Care! Chip

Sweet Job Friend! Chip

Going in the mail tomorrow friend! Have fun with them and let me know how they perform! Chip

No, these are a standard plastic trap body that I get from Sarnia, Canada. I assemble/weight, paint, top coat with my new formula, and apply hooks (Gamakatsu in this case). The terminal components are up to the fisherman. Chip

Here is the new design for Ron Colby: The colby bait turns pearlesent white "Scales" when tilted in the light.... And The Updated Trap For Joel: The JSG bait turns gold "Scales" when tilted in the light.... Chip

I have added these additional tutorials to my signature below. I will be making new ones in the fall and with more detail. I have a few more still, I just have to find the disk they are sitting on. Thanks! Chip

Thank You very Much, But I promise you that if we sat our baits side by side.... everyones here would look as nice as the next. Chip

LOL!!! Send him over to the Carolina Chip files! Been There/Done That! Not laughing at you Vicar! I am laughing at myself! You keep us in line Jerry! Both of you have a great day! Chip

I have had several emails about my tutorials asking why I have taken them from my site. The site has evolved commercially and they were just phased out. I have started posting the link in my TU signature below. That will take you to them. I am not an expert by any means, but I am happy to share them here if you want them or can use them. Heck..I still learn so much from you all! I will post the others after I upload them. If Jerry wants the files, I will also be happy to email for his hosting the articles as well. Take Care Chip

The parts are all fairly easy to replace with any mechanical skill. If you have not already sent it in maybe I can guide you through it. Chip

Here are the finished lures that Joel St. Germain is putting in his bait boxes for the upcoming Everstarts and Federation Divisionals: Yall Take Care! Chip

Yah...Its just a sticker. I argued until I got my Mercury Cowling for the motor. On the resale, I want the motor to say Merc.... not Track.. JMO Chip

Hey Yall! I mentioned that I would showcase some of the items that I am preparing for Joel St. Germain for the upcoming Federation Tourneys that will hopefully get him back to the CLASSIC next year! Here is a portion of what he will be taking with him. These were completed today (AFTER I WATCHED THE CLASSIC ALL DAY ON ESPN). I will be topcoating clear sealer and will show you the finished products after they are hooked and ringed. When the clearcoat goes on, the color really comes out.... Just like clearcoating a car paintjob! Be back with updates! Aw.... And Man! What a Classic Finish!I was rooting for Van Dam or Quinn but Omori sure died and went to heaven eh? Great Classic as always! By the way, Joel took first and third in back to back tourneys the past week! We have the momentum going! Yall Take Care! Chip

Would You Like BIGGER FISH!!! It was a great day! Chip
