airborne_angler Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Was at the lake yesterday and there was a guy on a one man pontton. He hooked into a dink and released it. I asked him in a non threatening,non confrontational manner,"What did ya catch it on?" His arrogant response "Secret Lure." Anyone know where I can get one? Sounds like they work really well!! Later I ran into 2 guys in a Bass Tracker at the back of the lake and they asked how the fishing was. I told them I had caught a few dinks on a dropshot. The one guy told me they ran across a guy in a pontoon(same guy) that caught a 6# on a dropshot earlier. This guy loaned the pontoon guy his scale and they weighed it,The pontoon guy said the scale was wrong,The fish was at least and 8#'er. Can you believe approgance of some people? Quote
Super User WRB Posted July 10, 2009 Super User Posted July 10, 2009 File it under "no good deed goes unpunished". Secret lures can be found in the discount bins of most tackle stores. WRB Quote
Busy Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 First you must spend more time on the mountain. When you are ready, the secret lure will come to you. Quote
Bull Hurley Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Sounds like you were allready using the secret lure. Quote
Super User bilgerat Posted July 10, 2009 Super User Posted July 10, 2009 If I told you the secret, then I would have to kill you......... I decorate the trees with my secret lures. Quote
airborne_angler Posted July 10, 2009 Author Posted July 10, 2009 Sounds like you were allready using the secret lure. Ya know I thought that was VERY ironic!! I was already using the "Secret Technique." Now I just gotta figure out the Lure he was using. I could seriously care less what he was using,I was just rubbed wrong with this guys arrogance. Quote
Big Mike in Fl Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 File it under "no good deed goes unpunished". Secret lures can be found in the discount bins of most tackle stores. WRB Thats where my secret/favorite topwater lure came from, about 4 years ago, from a bargain bin, got three of them, for $2.00 each, caught ton of fish on them,eventually lost them. went a year or more without being able to find any more, thne at the same store (I'd been back to the store several times since then too), I find them again, under a different manu. packaging (definitely the same lure though) again in the bargain bin, I got 5 this time, and will guard them more closely! ***Notice, I didn't say what it was, or where I got it*** Everyone needs to find their own little secrets Quote
Super User CWB Posted July 10, 2009 Super User Posted July 10, 2009 You sure he wasn't just yankin' your chain? Quote
Ellesar Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 http://www.secretweaponlures.com/ Maybe he meant one of those? : ;D Quote
airborne_angler Posted July 10, 2009 Author Posted July 10, 2009 I guess im just a different kind of guy. If Im fishing with ***,and see someone using Senkos,I always offer up a few of my baits for the person to try and compare(If I have enough to spare) *** are priced accordingly,so its not like im giving away a fortune in baits.I also try to remember to slip them Brents business card,so maybe they can purchase more if they like the baits. I also try to help others in rigging, and presentation,in hopes that I can shed some light on the success im having,or to at least teach someone something they didnt know. On the same token,maybe that person can teach me something. Its all about comraderie and resourcing. I always try to plug Bassresource.com as well. Some people dont even know what certain baits and techniques are,they look at you funny when you mention Senko or Dropshot. With me,theres no "Secret Lure" Quote
airborne_angler Posted July 10, 2009 Author Posted July 10, 2009 You sure he wasn't just yankin' your chain? Nope,This dude was a total *****!! Quote
Tucson Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Which AZ lake were you fishing? Roosevelt is my "home" lake. Quote
airborne_angler Posted July 10, 2009 Author Posted July 10, 2009 Which AZ lake were you fishing? Roosevelt is my "home" lake. I am located in Southern Az ,I was fishing at Parker Canyon Lake Quote
RhodyBass Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 There's always one in every crowd :-?i don't let guys like that ruin my day.I have seen guys go so far as to cover up the lure when i pass by ;D Quote
airborne_angler Posted July 10, 2009 Author Posted July 10, 2009 I didnt let it ruin my day,but man I start to lose all hope in mankind when I meet people like that. The guys in the Tracker,on the other hand one was throwing a popper(you could hear it) and the other guy caught something. I asked this guy what he caught the fish on,the other guy chimed in,"Pumpkinseed Baby Brush hog" Did i suddenly dig through my stuff,to find my stash of Brush hogs...NOPE I was already killing em on a Dropshot. I did end up throwing a small popper later,only because the surface was erupting with breaking fish. Quote
mrlitetackle Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 some people are just like that...... dont care for them too much myself..... i prefer to be a bit more friendly with people i encounter to say the least. Quote

Blue Streak Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 Some day that jerk will be on the water asking someone what they caught them on and I bet he gets a kinder answer than he gave you. Maybe then he will figure it out. Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted July 11, 2009 Super User Posted July 11, 2009 The secret lure is a manns jelly worm grape 8 inches Quote
airborne_angler Posted July 11, 2009 Author Posted July 11, 2009 Shhh its supposed to be a secret!!! So if I see the guy again and ask him what hes using,and he replies"Secret Lure" Should I ask him where I got his Manns Jelly Worms? Bet that will trip him up!! Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted July 11, 2009 Super User Posted July 11, 2009 Yup airborne but he may shoot ya since u know now Quote
Tucson Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 A couple of points that seem to apply: There is no Magic Lure Don't assume that other fishermen know more than you do. Quote
tnbassfisher Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 I just don't understand why some people do this. They think that by telling you what lure they are using, that you are going to catch every fish in the lake, and leave them with none. Because we all know that they is only five or six nice bass in each lake. : Quote
