2 Small Dannys and a Diving Peanut

The red gold was painted to look like a Mag Minnow that we fish in the DB and Susky flats. I made the top color with Orange and Pearl Red. The bottom ones are just bright colors that we use in the DB flats in the spring. I can not wait to fish them!!

Most excellant work! Love the little green eyed number.

Thanks for the compliments

The red/gold mag-minnow has been a real good color for us in the spring. I am working on a few hand carves in the red/gold also for down the Susky in April. As for the other bright colors they work great in the Delaware Bay this time of the year up on the flats areas that we fish. We were going today but the wind keep us off the water. As the forecast is looking now we will not be able to hit that area until late next week. That should give it more time to clean up anyway; with all the rain we have had the area is real dirty but the fish are there.

outstanding paint jobs

Incredible. Did you hand carve the swimmers?
Did you attach a reflective tape and then epoxy over?

regards,
john
