hazmail Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) Coley, I suddenly had a thought reading this, where did you get all those fish last year??, I only caught 24, so were the rest in your pockets after Dan pushed you in (I pleaded with him not to). I started on those lures today, not happy, my air brush has blown a seal- polka dots everywhere. Compared to the foam I am using, your stuff 'works' beautifully, probably 10% more dense, but I think I am on the trail of some better stuff.pete Edited April 3, 2009 by hazmail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coley Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 (edited) On the agenda, is there any interest in seeing an RTV crankbait mold built from scratch. I can make 2 molds in 3 pours, normally it takes 4. I have no material on hand, will have to order, so let me know. Also, I think I can make one or both of these molds a mold inside a mold, sounds crazy, but it eliminates one serious casting problem, pressure. Edited April 11, 2009 by Coley correct spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reeves Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Sorry to say that I too have to pass this year. Turns out that my in-laws are going to be celebrating their 50th that weekend. So it appears a huge family gathering is in order in Michigan. For a while it was on, then off, then on again and now everyone has plans to all be there. I'm bummed. Was really looking forward to this years gathering. So to all the great friends I met last year, I will see you all next year.

Nathan Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Sorry too hear you guys can't make it..I'll keep my fingers crossed for next year!!..Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philB Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Hi Fellas I remember last year with great pleasure and I am really sad I cannot make it over to see everyone again but I thought I would just post for the guys who will be attending this years get together and especially the fellas who have not attended before. You are in for a real treat, I can assure you will spend your time in the company of wonderful lure makers, will learn more in a weekend than you could in years elsewhere, will enjoy excellent hospitality from your hosts Nathan and Debs. Then of course you will have the opportunity to demonstrate your fishing skills and have a damn good laugh at the same time. I had never ever seen a Bass in real life (we don't have them over here) but the guys soon put that to rights and I actually caught several which was great fun. Now here is a confession . Bluegill were the ones that eluded on the fishing trip so me and Pete (Hazmail) slipped off a couple of days later down to Springfield where I caught a world record Bluegill !!!!!!!! Yes I did !!!!! Here is the picture that proves it for all you doubters out there. Erm I think it's a bluegill I hope you all have a great time and I am confident I will see you all again in 2010. philB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Would anyone be interested in seeing a small presentation on multi-color powder painting? I would be more than willing to bring some jigs and powder paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coley Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Yes, I would. I am not going to build a mold. only one response and I didn't order any material. Too late to do so now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs.redg8r Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 As usual I'm running behind again. I need t-shirt sizes for everyone attending the TU meet. send me a PM with the sizes you need. I hate to rush everyone but I need them in soon. I'm sorry again I can't be there. My lure making skills are about as good as my cooking skills. I have none I will be there someday just for the fishing. I do that just as good as....well... you know:eek:.... Everyone have a good time and drink a cold one for me. Thanks for everyone's support, Mrs.Redg8r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see this and have a friend (tacklemaker) who would like to see also.Thanks, I could either do it Friday or Saturday. It doesn't matter to me, or I can do it both days, if someone missed it. It is not problem. I will answer any and all questions and help all who ask. I will be there about 2:00 pm on Friday. It is a 9 hour ride for me. Whatever you guys want. I will also have the free powder paint for all who want. So bring your containers and take as much as you want...........
