Hey justfishin, Thanks for the laugh, I almost fell out of my chair laughing. Ron

I am going to try using the snakes for a second time in Neabsco Creek which is a tributary off of the Potomac River in Northern Virginia. Ther are some promising spots in the creek to try them out at. I will update this thread with the results, hopefully they will be positive.

Welcome to the forum, there is a lot of great information here. I lived in Massachusetts for years and I used to fish up in the lakes region in New Hampshire, primarily Lak Winnipesaukee as a kid. I caught a lot of rainbow trout and salmon on that lake with my grandfather, those are some memories I will never forget. I also fished the lakes and rivers in the Merrimac Valley in Massachusetts for many years. Enjoy the forum, there are some really good people here willing to provide you with knowledge.

Here are a couple of links to places that make replicas. http://americanfishtaxidermy.com/replicas.htm http://www.lakeforktaxidermy.com/b_a_s_s__world_record_5_fish_stringer.html http://www.permatrophy.com/showcaseSmallBass01.html http://replicafishtaxidermy.com/

Here are the Booyah Boogie Bait lures, I used the Alpine to catch him.

I caught a 31 inch long nosed gar on a Booyah BoogieBait. They are great fighters and they are really cool looking fish. I brought mine home because I thought is was citation size but I was wrong. They need to be 40 inches for a citation in Virginia.

I did receive the snakes Saturday and watched his video. I took them with me to Lake Anna and tried them for a while, did not get a bite. Unfortunately Lake Anna is extremely warm this year and the big bass are in deep water, accroding to the guide service (hammertime guide service) fishing reports . I will try them again in Belmont Bay (Potomac River) this weekend and report back again. I can at least say that the action appears to be the same as on the video and that they coil up nice and slither accross the water well.

Great article, thanks for posting it.

Nice catch, my PB was 3.5 pounds last night. Where did you catch that?

I have just been provided with the following information. I was told they were paying to much for their 877-CATCH-10 number. Natural Motion Lures Inc. NML Online Inc. PO 701990 St. Cloud Fl. 34770 407-957-9885 direct

Doug, Whats up with this? How come the company (Natural Motion Lures) that sells your snake lures had their phones disconnected. It does not give me a very good feeling about the order I placed yesterday. It would be nice to hear an explanation on this.

I am a little nervous about my order since I have yet to see anything positive on here about these snake lures. I also am worried because the phone number that is listed 1-877-CATCH-10 has been disconnected. Doug if your reading this thread, what is going on????

Just to clear things up about mounting a bass. I do live by the catch and release theory and I would only keep a LMB if it was a state record. I believe in letting others share in the excitement of catching bass and that can't be done if I don't release the bass back to where they were caught.

I will let you know if I agree with you after I try them out. I guess they shoukd arrive some time next week which means I will try them out on the 24th and 25th unless by some luck they arrive before this weekend.

Bass XL, did you watch the DVD that came with the snakes? I am guessing that the action is based on techniques that are shown on the DVD. If they don't look or work like they show online I think that would be false advertising. I have a hard time believing that Doug would promote a bad product or one that is misrepresented to fellow forum members.

No I would take it to a taxidery guy in Northern Virginia who does incredible work. He is the best in the area and they are not replicas. I have looked into the replica fish in the past and they do not make them to exact size of your fish. They use molds and you have to pick the size you want to purchase.

I am excited to try them after watching the videos on his web site. I figured $40 was a small price to pay if they help me catch some good size large mouth bass, with shipping it comes to approximately $3.53 each snake. That is a fair price for a lure if it works, if not I will chalk it up to a learning lesson. Doug, your videos are very impressive and I am hoping they work well. I hope I catch a big bass that I will be proud to mount on a wall in my sports bar. .

I am surprised that no one has posted anything about their experiences with these snakes yet.

I will report back once I receive them and have used them a few times. I have been fishing for bass with spinners, buzz baits and chatter baits and have done ok. I have yet to catch any real good size bass yet. I have however landed a 31 inch long nosed gar on a boowah boogie bait, its kind of like a chatter bait, the gar was the largest fish I have caught this year.

I am hoping to finally catch some big bass and I am really looking forward to trying these.

I just purchased these online and I am wondering how many of you are using them. Has your fishing improved? Are you catching bigger bass?
