A couple of funny things we've been discussing this morning here at home.
First: I noticed my last bait is two faced. I'm still new to this and I'm really pleased with the way this one came out. But... when you paint both sides you try to deep them the same. Obviously it doesn't always work.
~One side is the 'startled fish look... It's saying "Oh no, I'm about to be eaten!" It has a round pupil (I make my own) and roundish gills and more red around them.
~The other side is the tough fish look... It's saying "Bring it on, eat me if you dare!" It has an elongated pupil and square jaw and more black in it.

And I have no delusions. This part is very oddball; but that's kinda who I am. I have been doing all of my filming for my videos and pictures with an older $100 Sony vacation camera and processing it in iMovie. Yup, I'd like a gopro or a better digital camera. I've read all about them. They're expensive, and I could afford one if I want and I'm still thinking about it. But, as cheap (frugal) as I am, I'm always looking to make do and have a very strange amount of fun doing it. This is the first time I've mounted it on my old hat using some stainless steel (only the best ? ) hardware. It works quite well. Expect some 'on the boat' action in the Spring! BTW... the boat is homemade too. See the icon in the margin.
