how long has it been since your son got those loans? I think he can get your name off the loan if he has a decent credit score now. I have a serious hatred toward school loans... Id be finished by now if they made it easier for us credit-less people to get school loans

This technique is as old as the hills. I don't use it anymore because it works on just about any fish. You'll catch a ton of bluegills and sunfish this way. I find using any technique but this one keeps the other fish away Nothing wrong with using a worm though, I just hate all the bonus fish ;D

Heck I'm addicted to just designing the body styles at the moment. I'm going to have to test a lot of these to see if they will actually run well before I go painting junk body styles I thought I could save money by doing this, but I'll probably have more money wrapped up in testing

That doesn't make any sense to me. I certainly haven't noticed that happening on any of my lures painted with fluorescent colors, but then I only started airbrushing this summer. At any rate, if you use a UV-protected topcoat the paint should be fine. BTW I use Createx fluorescent yellow on my baits. Here's where I saw it: http://www.galaxyairbrush.com/paints/createx.buttons/c.5403.cart.htm radioactive cranks will produce monster bass... Literally!

That's good to know because I know you do a lot more than I ever will What Flo. Yellow do you buy? The Createx flo. colors say they shouldn't be used as a permanent soultion because they are constantly decaying??? What the heck kind of paint are they selling ha!

Thanks guys! I figured for the cost, the paint should last longer than I thought, but I've never been good at quantity judgement I just have a feeling once I start, I'll never stop so may as well stock up now

Well I'm not going to do everything white, I was just trying to think of an example 2 oz to me sounds like I blow through it in a few cranks, but maybe I'm wrong I was thinking of just getting like an 8 oz white, an 8 oz black and then a few 2 oz colors. I guess I should figure out patterns before I go and buy a kit and have a bunch of odd ball colors I'll never use

Silly question i know, but I'm trying to see if buying a kit would be better or just getting the bottles individually. How long can I expect a 2oz. bottle of airbrush paint to last? I know it depends on how much is actually painted, so just a rough estimate will do. Let's say for example I get a 2oz white bottle and I want to paint all my cranks with a white base, how many cranks do you think that would paint?

waitin' for the day he can fish with Dad. Had him out once... He wanted to cast the entire time. I'd throw his worm out, he would keep 'casting'. After I got him over that, he wanted to chase the minnows. I'll give him a few more months and try again It's great though, I have him trained. Every time we pass any form of water (lake, river, stream, etc...) all we hear out of him is "FISHY, FISHY!" Mom is so proud of me

Great stuff gents! If we are whipping out the kid shots: Griffin Gate by nate.follmer, on Flickr

Oh my, I have been laughing for 30 minutes now and I just can't stop... Thanks! I'm going to have a hard time talking to customers today without laughing. Glad to make your Day. Don't take offense to it. It's a crappy photo, I'm sure the blur clears when you see it in person? That was my guess. I know the webcam I have out in the living room is pure garbage. The autofocus is a joke. If you fart next to it, it'll blur the image. You are just making gold today. I finally got over the laughter of the first post and then you go and do this... Laughing again! I just picture you trying to take a webcam shot and lettin' one rip and the camera focuses on something in the background... Yes, I get bored at work!

All you guys doing photo finishes are freakin' amazing! Good stuff, I love that sunfish!

That's so adorable :'(

Get ahold of me when you come to Gettysburg. I may be able to show you some things in the area and there is also a great microbrewery in town if you like to have a beer. I smell a man-date. I won't deny that.... Speeds a fine looking gentlmen... Just sayin'!

Water, water and then more water. Oh, and I'll have a coffee in the morning.

Get ahold of me when you come to Gettysburg. I may be able to show you some things in the area and there is also a great microbrewery in town if you like to have a beer. Sounds good! I usually make it to G-Burg at least 4 or 5 times a year. I love the whole area, very laid back. If you know of any technical jobs in the area, send them my way

Well then, I meant took the photo, but since you made it, it's double awesome. That's a good looking crank and a good looking photo I'll do a few more Gettysburg shots, I can't wait to get there this fall: Little Round Top Cannon by nate.follmer, on Flickr

I'm all for an April meet! Sucks you got stuck working... Tell the criminals to take a break, you got fishing to do!

Nice pics. At least you got fish I felt like a midget in my tiny boat ha

I can't seem to find the one that goes to it. I sent an email to Eagle to see if they had them; no reply yet... I was just looking on ebay to see if they had them and saw a ton of lowrance ones, that's why I asked. I should just buy a while new sonar

WOW! I love the overall... I don't know depth and variations of lighting in that shot!

This may not help you at all but I know some guys that paint soft plastics usually paint them, then dip them in clear plastic. If you don't the paint usually only lasts for a few casts.

Well that's a heck of a lot easier... Thanks! I'll have to go get some poster board tonight and give it a shot (literally). The wife started sewing all kinds of good stuff and I want to give her a better presentation than the couch
