Terrydabassman Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Hello gang. Today was our first class for these five high school boys. To say they were excited would be an understatement. We got as far as cutting out and sanding their lures, making a ballast weight and hook eye and getting them glued into place. Here's some snap shots of me and the boys working on their lures. ( had a ball and so did they) Stay tuned for class number two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reeves Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Terry, that is so absolutely awesome. You must get a great feeling of accomplishment working with the young guys like that. Can't wait to see the next class. Thanks for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Terry, Way to go!! There is a TU member is Wisconsin that is a outdoor skills instructor of sorts and tackle making and building a fishing rod and fishing are an actual part of the course. Do you think what you are teaching your students could be turned into part of a course where they could get course credits? We know there are different skills involved than English and Math, this would fall under art, or shop, something along those lines. Good luck and keep us posted.

Terrydabassman Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 We're planning on a "fishing clinic" sometime next month. I'll cover lines, rods, reels, soft plastics, spinner baits, and of course crank baits. Also planned is Finesse fishing, Drop shotting, Pitching and Flipping. No way would I expect them to remember a quarter of it so I'll have a little booklet for each of them. A couple of the boys were talking while I was talking. I interrupted them and said HEY, there will be a test after your lures are done. If you don't pass it then I'll keep the lure you made. WOW did they come to attention...too too funny...I AM having fun and so are they. I'm looking for some cute "common sense" questions for a joke on them. Questions like: If a plane with 700 passengers crashed on the border of Canada and the United States, in which country would they bury the survivors? If you have one or a couple, please email them to me. customlures@tclarkcustomlures.com and put "pop quiz" in the subject line so I don't delete it as spam. Thanks guys!!

ChampionBoatGuy Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I wish I could have done that when I was younger! Instead, in shop class, I made a keyring holder for my parents kitchen wall. It said 'KEYS' on it. Yea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tman2 Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 First off, that sounds like fun! Second... if a rooster lays an egg at the very peak of a roof, which way will it roll off? Right or left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lure--Prof Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Congrats Tman! Now if you were just a student in Terry's class... (and I hope they're not reading this, or it's kind of ruined as a pop quiz qestion)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 How do you keep a fish from smelling? . . . . . . Cut off his nose, of course! Man, it took me sooo long to go through my memory for that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
