jmik26 Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Reading articles on how great flourocarbon is, spooling up your spinning reel for the first trip of the year, open the bail and there is 30 yards of it now laying on the bottom of the boat.....

onlybass Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Tie on a new test lure,clip the tag end, toss the bait over the side of the boat to reel up the slack and reel in nothing but slack.Priceless.Cost of polarized bifocals:$350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaggy Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Having a great idea for a new lure, wasting a bunch of space on the TU asking people for help on how to get it out, and then opening up the new Bass Pro shop mag and finding my lure for 3.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acklac7 Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Having your new next door neighbor (a rookie police officer) see you in your apartment with all the windows open and a OG vapor mask on....He immediately thinks "METH LAB!!!!"....For the next few days you get survailed constantly by cars with jet black tinted windows, and the "K9" cruisers ...Until you finally tell the guy "look...I'm just making fishing lures"...Happened about a week ago... :!: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave V Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Spending 4 hours pouring some great looking laminates and 3 pour creature baits and coming home from work to find your kids used them as monsters for their action figures and they are in pieces on the floor.

bigbasser Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Pouring a bunch of unwanted dark red plastic on the work bench and telling my youngest sister I cut myself. Watching her freak and start to cry, priceless. By the way Acklac thats funny as hell and I'm a cop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acklac7 Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 By the way Acklac thats funny as hell and I'm a cop! LoL...then you probably know how easy it would have been to mistake a lure operation for a Meth lab...Nasty stench, windows open, Vapor mask...Not to mention im a full time student (no job) and I drive a Cadillac...I was nice to the officer when I told him what was going on, however he didn't seem real happy...I honestly think he was a little disappointed that he didn't get that "big bust" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 My kid "invented" a goofy looking plastic bait, insisted on making some with a watermellon& fleck back and an earthworm belly for a weekend in the boundary waters. Only 4 fish were caught that weekend, all on the goofy bait, and if mr. bass didn't git it on the way up, he had enough elevation to get straightened out and git it on the way back into the water. His big brother almost threw the 12 year old "fishing expert" out of the boat to get him to shut up. jm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskat Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 If you want to have a little fun, wash you molds really well in the dishwasher. Fill with homemade gummy gook and serve it to the kids! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmik26 Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Setting up a drop shot the night before fishing. Get to the lake and the steam is rolling off the water, only sound around is birds chirping and boat engine warming up. Fly across the lake to your favorite point or hump, pulling out you drop shot rod to find out you have a spider web of a mess and it has to be cut off and re-tied.

Teamdiarrhea Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Trying to not cause further injuries or damage while frantically trying to get your legs out from underneath the pouring bench, getting out of your chair, and getting your pants down around your knees after dumping approximately 2 ounces of freshly nuked plastic onto your left thigh... Not real funny at the time but if someone were there to witness it would have been quite a show. Luckily got the pants down in time to only come away with first a first degree burn...

Gloomisman Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Pre fishing for a tourney and hooking the back of the boat on the first cast and having to respool the whole thing. Knocking over molten lead. Not a good idea. Forgetting to put a blade on a s/b shaft after you put the cleavis on Glueing fingers together How many do you guys want.;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kman Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 The leadhead you poured thirty seconds ago looks exactly the same as the ones poured ten minutes ago. Hell, they even feel the same after you pick them up--for about two seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was out on the porch pouring and cooking up some cool plastics. The neighbor walks by through his yard and looked over. I thought hmmm, It shouldnt be long before I see my friendly police officer knocking on my door. Never happened though. I guess I ought to tell them I make fishing lures not meth that way they just think i'm weird not a crack head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WidowMaker Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 I once bought a zip lock bag full of green skirts at a flea market and it looked just like a bag of pot. I remember coming out of a convenience store and a couple of kids were looking into my truck and then asking me if i "smoked". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Bored, I flicked my cigarette butt aiming at the tip of the rod. Unfortunately, my aim was too good and lost 40 yds of line. I had only 10 yds left and no spare spool. Lots of lessons learned to contemplate on the 45 minute trek back to the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dungeonhawk Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 not so much lure shop, but boat humor. Fishing in a back cove of a local lake, riding up on a submerged log with my firberglass nitro. Thinking it was in the front, had the guy in back shift his weight (300+ lbs) to pop us off the log. CRUNCH, gurgle, gurgle, bilge, bilge, bilge, bilge, bilge, bilge. repeat bilge, bilgre, repeat bilge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
