I'm not stupid I know it's not Christmas but, we need this thread to show off all of our new toy's that santa or his little helpers brought I just started gettin Mine early thats all! these villian jigs are gettin ready to do battle in the murkey waters of LOP!
So far - I don't know....
Got a package in the mail about a week ago - a "Secret Santa" gift from a member of another Forum I participate in - the rule at our house is that nothing gets opened until Christmas or after, so I has to wait a bit yet...
UG
Well I got mine early when I got that Humminbird 1197c. Still have not had it on the water yet though and now looks like next year for sure and maybe all the way to Feb.???

We already had xmas, I got this long round thing, um , I think they call it "The Shaft". Anyways merry xmas to me so i bought my self a a hitachi roofing nailer and then just this morning, I checked back at cabelas and they had mustad jighooks and minnow tubes on clearance. I just bought some of the hooks last week from them for 7.88/100 and were on clearance for 4.88/100 so i bought almost 2000 of each size:eek: Ill never need hooks again. I think with the discounts and shipping they were 4.50 per 100.
Thats a neat little dipper you got there flatfish. I though about making some sort of metal one but my fluid bed is only about 2.5" and round.
I'm in the same boat, I've had it mounted and ready to try out for 2 weeks now, but between work and the weather :( I have not been able to go either. And it's killing me :)Quote:

I'm headed to LOP tomorrow. I got caught up around the house today.
that fat jolly man probably wont bring me anything i haven't been good but i do have 2 weeks vacation to make it all better.
For the past couple of years the wife and me have chosen not to get each other anything and concentrate on using that money for the kids and grand-kids, me and the wife can get what me want most any time.
We have a tradition around our house, all year long we save quarters,dimes,nickels and then at Christmas time we put it in a jar and let the adult kids guess who much is in the jar the one closest to the amount in the jar gets the money.
They absolutely love that part of the present giving and can hardly wait to get their chance to guess how much is in the jar.
A santa fish sent me a fluid bed and I have just got all the cups fixed that the usps busted all the bottoms out of. I am slow on the learning curve and am just now figuring this baby out. I didn't realize that some colors of powder paint are "heavier" than others. The same fish sent me some cool looking jig heads that I have tied up and as soon as I have time I will try to post up some pics of those..(there is that learning curve problem popping up again). A gentleman posted a thread on here recently about braided/crocheted jig bodies and I have fallen in love with this technique...I ain't good at it yet but I'm gonna be if my head dosen't blow up first from frustration...Reason I mentioned this is cause I consider it a gift from him that he posted up all the links on how to do this stuff...he didn't have to..Thanks to all of you guys in here for all the knowlege that you share with your fellow crappie .commers. Almost all of you have been a gift to me these last few months....Thanks to Skip for all his advise when I first started tying. Thanks to you A.W. for making me feel better about getting in on my first jig swap....what a blessing that has been....Thanks Fowlmood and Flatfish46 for your friendship and PM's that you have sent to help me out with new ideas and to just bounce ideas off of. Thanks to all the rest of you guys for putting up with me messing up/cluttering up your threads with my foolishness...and Thanks PawPaw Gene for your ideas and comments on the "spinners" that you make...I hope all the good people in here have a wonderfull Christmas and God blesses you all REAL GOOD in the coming year...p.s. we gonna need it people......good fishing/tying....the brimreaper dude
You're most welcome bro! And a Merry Christmas to you and yours!Quote:

I got a new trolling motor and a 875 amp deep -cycle battery and a delux jig paint station! O I ment to tell ya'll the other day at the pines I got into some channel cats on My jig's 3lber's broke one polle settin the hook weather was cold and the graphite must have been brittle I caught a couple and got out of them.
i got a fly rod and about 25 diff color chel and maraboo
The "Shaft", yep that pretty much wraps it up for me too.
I am in the same boat stick.
O k Flatfish.....when you have time inbetween all your projects I would like to figure out how to make some fishing lures out of this "shaft" thing. I need for you to find out what the melting point is and work us up some jig molds so we can pour some jig heads out of it and make everybody a more happy fisherperson. Just an idea I had..........brim
I got (9) more molds from Do-It to add to my madness and to add to my catalog. Should be a busy winter for me.
Got a Danvise so I can start learning this hobby. Making a fliud bed today from Cadmans directions
(9 more molds you must have got bass jig molds and all) you'll like this hobby- challenge
I look at it as a challange because crappie are ever changing fish will you ever go out and limit every day if you have the perfect bait NO!,but I'd like to have the advantage in My favor You'll injoy it.
I'm mostly a bass and walleye jig fisherman, and I also sell a lot of bigger bass jigs, so that's why the variety. I have occasionally fished for bluegill, but crappie I have always fished with minnows. I'm just not a really good crappie fisherman, maybe because I don't pursue it enough. Maybe this year.Quote:
