No selling darters here without the explicit permission of me, or at least until you fill my order first :D ;)

PM's on the way :btu:

8 darters left as of 10:48am on 10/07/02.

Still trying to get a hold of Tlapinski and Bloocrab.

I know those guys were on the list that got lost, I mean misplaced.


I also have about 150 darters that just need to be sanded and paitned. Estimated time frame is about 2 weeks on those, so if you dont get in on this batch, there is always the next.

P.M. sent!

SOLD OUT!

"a Darter?" = A lure that ...:smash: ..darts

"What fish does it catch?" = it doesn't catch anything...but retrieved in the proper fashion, it produces species like Morone Saxatilis as well as Pomatomus Saltatrix (do your homework boy :rtfm: )

"Is it a productive bait?" = only as productive as it's Master ;)

"Is it home-ade?" = you need to visit the plug-making forum - YES!

Hmm, BlooCrab, Very Impressive! So in means to say-In Normal Understandable, Simple, Idiot Words.:laughs: LOL
.it catches ,Or in your Words,,If Retrieved Correctley it Lures in...
Striped-Bass (aka-Morone Saxatilis) ??
Bluefish (aka-Pomatomus Saltatrix) ?? :laughs: LOL!

I have to say though,,I didn't "Do My Home-work" I cheated
(((( looked in a Book for them Words :rolleyes: LOL!))))

OH MAN!
$15 is pretty Damn Expensive For a Lure,,,What ever would i do if i Snagged this on something - or Lost this, on fish ??? :eek: ? Ouch!! lol!

Obvious It's a Homemade Lure-- It's Pictured in a few Pictures thru the Stages of being made :smash: :smash: LOL

See Ya's!

John---There should be like a basic test here before anyone can post on the main boards. There should be a probationary board for the "learning times".:mad: :mad: :mad: :confused:

Hey,
Very True STRIPER77 ....but ya have to go exteme sometimes :D we have to Take it easy on StarsnStripers,,,He May Not be the Smartest Person around (lol-Just kidding) (either am i ,lol- j/k) :smash: ,But He's a Good Guy :D LOL!

See Ya's

if you think $15 is expensive in this sport, maybe you should think of another sport. only the best hardware and workmanship goes into these lures. a beachmaster goes for about the same, with no hooks usually. a gibbs, well, we'll leave them alone. they have enough problems. look at the yozuri's, just short of $15. i think these are a deal for $15.

I'm sure that Tatoo will sell a million of them!...

I hope that he continues on in his quest to manufacture & market his plugs!!!...

You are right about the craftsmanship!!!

It's well worth Mike's effort in creating these beauties!!!

I can't wait until he has some of them surface Danny's!!!!

:D :D :D

...what would you do if you lost it?...:smash: BUY MORE!!!:D



...15$ expensive???...do you have any hobbies young man?...do you wear Nike sneakers or the [Bloo-light] specials from K-mart??? Doesn't Nike make a better shoe??..Well Mikey makes a better lure! :p...Its called Quality over Quantity!!! ......or is it that mommy still pays for your sneakers and you couldn't convince her to buy you a 15$ lure. I'm not picking on you...don't take it that way. Just don't start dis-crediting things you don't yet understand. ;)

StarsnStripers and Sniper, grasshoppers - you must learn to walk before you run.

It's obvious that you are enthusiastic about fishing for bass & blues but it would be unwise to try to digest everything available, all the time, about fishing for bass. You can't and shouldn't because you'll miss a lot of discovery along the way... There is a lot to learn and nobody knows it all. But before you can carve your own little niche, you need to try a few different ways, over time.

$15 for a SPECIALLY DESIGNED HIGH QUALITY plug is not expensive. Yeh it hurts if you lose it on a fish or snaged on a rock but that's a fact of life, Necessary evil, whatever you want to call it.

Also, these big plugs take some more specific gear and locations to work. You're less likely to use this on the south side of Conimicut point and more likely on a rip that forms off some ledge where the Bay Meets the Ocean.

All I'm saying is keep your eyes, ears, AND mind a little more open, that's all. There is a lot of experience on the boards, some on top and some you need to dig at a little. Some warm and some brash, but it's there. Watch and listen...



... and guys, give the kid a little break, he's still young & innocent :laughs:

HEY NOW!
You all are Mistaken me , just because i FISH with Starsnstripers,, He IS 14 ,, i am Not..

And I don't like he fact of being called a "grasshopper" ,,I'm Not Trying to make enemys here,, all i'm saying is if that's what you find fun ,,, Pick On Some-one Else! :p LOL

Hey, $15 is sort of Expensive for a lure,,i'm sure it' crafted Mint and alot of time goes into it ,,, and i yes i've seen them $18 Yozuri Squids .. They are Great as well

Tattoo,
I would love to have one of them in my Tackle Box,,And Maybe when i have an extra $15 i will put in an order because it sounds like one hell of a lure that can catch some serious fish!

and No my "mommy" wont buy me one :( LOL (just playing)
HEY maybe i shouldn't get into another sport,,,just because i can't dish out $15 for a lure , Right Now.. Does not mean i don't have what it takes to be a True Dedicated Fisherman , Right ?

I didn't Mean for that to turn out that way ,, No Offence to you Tattoo.. Or to Any who may have been offended... It's All Good..:)


You All have a great day !
:)

Hey,
Bloocrab as a matter of fact,, i do wear Nike Sneakers , :p ,, But ya know,,

$15 is pretty Damn Expensive For a Lure,,,What ever would i do if i Snagged this on something
I didn't Mean for that to turn out that way ,, No Offence to you Tattoo..

Ever notice some people drive Chevy's some people drive Toyota's and some people drive BMW's? Ever wonder why?

Surfcasting is simple, if you can't pay, you shouldn't play.

It will take a lot more than you not wanting to buy a hunk of painted wood to offend me. Take a valium and go fish.

LOL,
tattoo,,, Okay,,, Glad were on the same page here!

Have a good one!

LOL, yes, Striper Sniperx is 15 and I am 14, but who cares, close enough.
I guess you can say we are both "little innocent kids" bloocrab,(dont kno about the innocent part) but we are getting there. Someday we will be professional fisherman, there is only so much information a 14 and 15 year old can absorb.
Striper Sniperx, is it OK if i call u grasshopper from now on? J/K lol:laughs:

Oh!!!......so thats where the name "starsNstripers" came from...:laughs: :laughs:

LOL,
Your VERY funny joker ;) Vic ,, And No,,,you may not call me a grasshopper,,,it's very annoying and mkes no sence ,,,and your more of one than i am :p Keep it up :smash: lol j/k


See Ya later!

LOL!! CRAB!! where the heck did you get that? lol,,,you have all these crazy Clip-Arts,,,,LOL


see ya's

..don't even begin to think your safe!!!


:laughs:

Great image bloo--wish I knew how to do that.:laughs: :laughs: :laughs: :laughs: :happy: :happy: :happy: I remember getting spanked (with a belt) when I was young. Now it's a crime???? He got off easy with you bloo. :D

..funny you mentioning (belt spankings)...:eek: I'm from the same school ;)

..we also had a wood burning stove in our basement...and if they happened to be near the wood box when you acted up....WATCH OUT!!!....I'd be praying there were no nails in the boards!!...

...but the weird things is.... I LOVE EM' TO DEATH!...they must have done something right...:)

Tatoo,
My wife walked in the door and I heard the sweet words "special delivery!" :D , they arrived...and one of them be darting its way around squibnocket point in about 3 hours.
Thanks again.

:happy:

BTW, anyone who thinks that they are not worth it...just buy one and hold it in your hands.

LOL BLOOCRAB!!! That's a Perfect Filleting job of 'my' bluefish avtar there,,, But I find that un-fair you made starsnstripers avatar just chilling out there with some boxers on,,,,
But Jeeze,,you go to Extreme limits and Fillet and Gut mine :( LOL just kidding,,,

Great job on that, I'm going to learn how to do that for some kind of a comeback against a nice little innocent Bluecrab avatar, :) :p ,, lol (j/k) :smash:

Bloo, not the night you fell in the "RUN":laughs:


I have to give praise where praise is due...

...yes, I fell into the "run"....with my waders on, managed to go completely under...but then managed to get on solid ground and crawled my way out of danger...this is where the "praise" comes in....(NO, not to Tattoo)

In the pouch of my waders was my digital camera. When I climbed the wall and got out of the drink, I reached into the pouch and luckily the camera was still there...I reached in and pulled it out. The pouch was FULL of water and the camera came out sopping wet. I dried it off as much as possible and tried powering it on....:( -didn't work- :(
I went back to the "run" to complete the job at hand (netting herring of course)...a little while after we went back to the truck. I tried the camera again......:D:D - IT WORKED -.....and Tattoo, its still working great today!!! They recently had a recall on that model for a battery problem. They shipped me the box and prepaid label to go with it. I sent them the camera...and they promptly returned it to me in 6 days with (2) new memory sticks for my time and patience!!!

WHY DID THEY STOP PRODUCTION ON THEM???:smash:

GREAT CAMERA!!......KODAK DC5000 (not only splashproof, like it advertised....but completely submerged-proof) :claps:


what the heck is a camera doing in my waders while I'm netting herring???...I dunno!!!

SSX, next time im ova ill show u how to modify stuff in MSpaint. It's easy, i'll teach u in like 10 minutes.:D

BRING IT ON BOYZ!! :D:D

- but do it in the 'scuppers' forum...;) the MainBoard is for the serious fishypeople...

- us :jester:'s belong in the scuppers...;)

We ARE serious fishypeople, but there are times when serious fishypeople want to joke around, as u did.:laughs:

You think thats funny, you gotta see that guy walk.......sideways

OK - enough of this thread hijacking and back to the original topic :D ... I got my Tattoo Darters this morning


and they are S W E E T !!!!

lol Bloo- I am going 2 make an odd request ,,

i know how 2 modify images now-- i copied your Avatar and tried to resize it but it is such a small image it comes out 'fuzzy' as heck when ya zoom in ,, so i cant do nothing with it ,, So can you post a picture of that Avatar , but bigger... so i can do something to it ? LOL--- i am going to make a comeback to my filleted Bluefish avatar (that hurt) lol j/k....

Lol-- thanks :happy:

i started fishing my new pile of darters thursday night over in newport. had the first teeth marks on them on the second cast! great plug man!
