    Alaska Department of Fish and Game has a standard set of regulations but then will manipulate those with Emergency Orders for specific regions, rivers, species etc. where they deem necessary to more intensively manage.
  2. Apdriver
    Emergency Order.

    I agree with your assessment somewhat. Not totally. You prolly have much more experience than I have hence a little different perspective.

    Nice bait, Cami.

    Oh, I knew it was a salt king. Prolly pulling behind a down rigger? We dont target kings but it affects all the other fishing too. The EO takes all the bait out of the water for the most part.

    With the demise of the Kings in Alaska, you can’t hardly use bait anymore in freshwater. It’s all artificial single hook by EO anymore. I like the spinners with the squid and flash. I bet the Coho will like those too.

    That looks interesting. Guessing you bait that with a nightcrawler or possibly Berkeley power bait?

    It may get you more hits from search engines. Sure like the tail mold integrated in the mold. Very innovative.

    That looks like it would be a great finesse worm. Thanks for sharing it with us.

    What colors are your 4? I only see pink blue and yellow. The green is made when the yellow and blue mix. I believe it was probably done with a three color injector. You could also hand pour one color into the mold close it and then shoot two colors with a dual injector. Pretty tedious though especially with small eggs. What size is that egg?

    Laminate. Arkansas shiner and your favorite belly color. I like just a Pearl powder.

    Holy Guacamole, you sound busy? Got a day job?
  13. Apdriver
    Sounds like it should be. Only problem I’ve ever had was in enclosed space with no ventilation.
  14. Apdriver
    I have a drawer full of bolts and knobs. I usually clamp multiple molds together and shoot.

    Bears owner had health issues and passed. Caney Creek sold to Do It. I believe Del had a machine shop that did other things and the hand mold thing was a sideline. High Rock got out of the hand mold business and I believe started making production molds only. bait Junkie sold but the owner is still actively in the bait business both doing production and molds.

    I have used it. It’s been awhile but it tends to soften your baits like softener will. So don’t do both.

    When I started building these, I had to bend the top lip of the blades for them to vibrate correctly. Nice looking bladed jigs, though.

    Oh my. I am sorry and heartbroken for you. If you need anything like this in the future, I’d be more than happy to help out. Prayers are going out for you and your wife.

    For rocky lakes, I prefer the football over other head types. Like 21XDC said however, you will lose a few.

    3 solid colors? Have your recipes? The other thing, how quick you need them?
  21. Apdriver
    How many cavities per mold? How many colors?
  22. Apdriver
    What are you pouring your lead with? Bottom pour? If so, you might try ladle pouring with a fast pour. Almost like a dump. Sometimes that can help on hard to pour molds and cavities.
  23. Apdriver
    Vent would help, I’m sure. Got a pic?
  24. Apdriver
    Maybe you can find a different colorant that will work for you. There’s nothing like putting in a bunch of work on a laminate and having it bleed.
  25. Apdriver
    Pretty sure you just got their answer.
