I wonder if we should edit the title to this thread as just "MA Fishing Reports" and get our central and western fishing friends on here? Sorry all, I'm bored and counting the days down to vacation. 2 work days left and I'm off til next year...

@TOXIC, True that! Well said my friend.

Thanks for your input guys, looks like I have some home work to do after the holidays.

Thanks bud! I should have just texted you, I didn't realize how much has changed. LOL Good luck Derrick.

@Dunks N Dinks......LMAO!

beer cans as well? @Dunks N Dinks?

They look good to me.

Hey guys, sorry if this question has been asked, but any kayak fishers on this thread? For a couple of years now I've really wanted to fish out of a yak. I'm thinking a stand up one, any thoughts/comments? Good or bad. Would love to know what you think.

He's a real nice guy, you should try PM'ing him, I'm sure he'll get back to ya.

Oh yeah @Mr. Aquarium, just saw those on their website, they look bomb.com! Thanks for sharing.

I appreciate that and would love to try one out, but I also know that they get expensive to make. I appreciate your offer tho. Those beauties are bomb.com, I'm sure you'll fill the boat, best of luck with them!

Well I hope you're wrong and ice out is sooner than that, but I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya none the less.

Yeah @GrumpyOlPhartte, that will do it, but I'm not opposed to the law TBH, it costs a little more but it's all good in the hood. I have bought some jigs from Mike in the past and he does do an excellent job, no doubt. I'll have to figure out what I want/need and will have to place an order. We'll see, I've got some time on my hands.

Hey @GrumpyOlPhartte, that kitchen magnet idea is great advice, I'll be sure to carry one now. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the reply guys, as it turned out, I never got to fish once this year. I book marked this page, hopefully 2019 will be a different year for me. Thanks a million for the suggestions. That blade configuration on an overhead spinnerbait works great on bass!

That looks awesome Munkin! If you make too many, don't be afraid to ship a couple north of you...

I haven't logged onto the site for a while, just wanted to wish you all a joyous holiday season! Hope all is well and you have a great 2019 fishing season. JF10

I'm assuming you're matching to existing, can you take a pic and some measurements? White oak? Red Oak? Plain Sawn? 1/4 cut?

Wow, I really never seen them before. You can actually make some really nice jig or spinnerbait skirts out of them? Almost like the quick skirts. Although, it's hard to tell how thick the bait is with the pic. Sorry, just a suggestion...

He's only got 3 posts as of this writing, I'm sure he doesn't know you very well @Oregon Native. I, for one, enjoy and respect your posts as I think most do.

I actually watched that game. Although I didn't have a dog in the hunt, it was an entertaining game none the less. Good teams will find a way to win against bad pitching. That's baseball.

As much weight as you can get away with. Sometimes its a guessing game as to how bass react to the ROF. Sorry the answer is vague, but is there a right or wrong answer here?

For blade style you basically have 2 opposite ends of the spectrum. The Colorado will have less flash, more drag, more thump and thus slow the bait down. Great for off colored water and, IMO, for cold water presentations. The Willow will have more flash, less drag, less thump and thus will speed the bait up. Great for clear water condition and, IMP, for warm water presentations. Blade size will matter. Too small and no rotation, i.e. no thump. Too big and the whole bait rotates. I'm sure someone will chime in on hook size and weight. Good luck.

Let the addiction begin!!! That's awesome man, they came out great! Let us know when you need the 800 number to cure your jig making disease. It's a free consultation.

My son is gonna be really excited! These tix were just given to me...Complete surprise! My son's birthday is Sept 3 and this game is for Sept 13th so it will be a nice little birthday gift.
