Well we are little more than 5 weeks away from the Flatlanders invading the Baystore. We have a few new faces as well as a whole cast of the old characters. Frank, for the benefit of the newbies, could you please pull up the post that lists the "Top Ten LOTW baits". I tried to search for it but apparently my computer skills are lacking. Look forward to seeing the Baystore gang and it's newest member. Does that annoying neighbor still come by and aggravate the guests? Hope to see him anyways, he always makes me laugh with antics.
The annoying neighbor died and went to h***.The newest member will chew your leg off.Frank isn't any prettier.The lake is low.The top 10 baits in no particular order are:
The Fly'n Fish by Yummie
Gopher Bait
Lazy Ike(52 caught on one already this year)
Swim Shad
Spoonplug(5 inch)
Red Eye Wiggler(4 3/4 inch)
Eppinger Frog Spoon(6 1/2)
Silver Minnow(pork optional)
Sluggo(9 inch)
Jitterbug(large)
Very glad to hear 'new faces' are coming,some were growing old.
See you soon.
New faces? On the same old bodies? I look forward to seeing this.
Think about it, I would think that list would be slightly dated with the new stuff made available since then. My new (quickly constructed) version?
1) Favorite Double 10. Cowgirl, Gerry's, Spanky, etc.
2) Ace Tandem.
3) Hellkat, or old Bulldawg.
4) 9"-10" Suick
5) Twitchbait. Big Game, Big Fork, Stalker, etc.
6) Headbanger.
7) Top Raider or Nitewalker.
8) Jackpot, Doc, or favorite walk the dog.
9) Smaller bucktail. Bucher 700 sized.
10) Hellhound.
Headbanger is one of my semi-secret weapons.A front prop surface bait that Frank should NOT be selling even though I like the idea of a few bucks going to the maker-and especially his wife!
What the he** is a headbanger Mr Pearson? I don't see it in your top ten baits. Shame on you!!! Mr Frank won't let you use any of his BAT's. Right Frank?? LOL
Dick; Maybe if you take me out one night and show me some hot spots when Lynne stays in the eve, Maybe I'll hook you up With a Bat or TWO.
Be there July 18-29th.
Jim Dembiec...
Oh Frank, Lost a 50+ last week on one of those BAT'S, redeemed myself with a 48" 3 hours later!
Sounds good; Let me know if any of your headbangers need attention. Dick will probably be salivating watching those headbangers hang in the bait shop. Hopefully they won't last long!!! I've been winding down making these things. But pouring lots of BAT's...BIG A$$ Trailers..
Frank, PLEASE set a Headbanger aside for me when I arrive. I have never met Jim and Lynne but I am well aware of their Muskie prowess. I believe they hit Pewaukee quite a bit. If Frank were for some reason to sell all these out, I will just permanently borrow one of DP's, although I will probable have to tune it and sharpen the hooks. It is only a little over (4) weeks away until we arrive. Looks like you folks have been getting some rain so hope the water level improves a bit. DP, better get the bell all shined up, I suspect a Flatlander or (2) will be ringing it again this year !!
Just have to be honest,touch any of my Bangers and the last thing you may hear is the early decibels of 'bang'.
As to the bell,not sure the walleye guys returned it but hope you guys ring it a lot.I still think you should cause its,not your fault certain 'mooners' are inept with the net.For what its worth,I think it was closer to 52 than 50.
Jim,
Just got back to the cabin minutes ago.Can't send you any,they are all missing!Thought the one in Franks pic looked familiar.
Oh well,just send me a couple.
