Grandfather's last lures
Re: Grandfather's last lures
Great story, I carry around a Popper my Grandpa owned in my tackle box. It never gets used and the eyelets have rusted off of it, but with just being in my tackle box makes me feel like there is a little bit of him with me every time I launch my boat.

Re: Grandfather's last lures
That's a topwater bait – and still one of the best there is for catching bass on the surface, which for most people is the funnest way to catch them. Usually the only way those get lost is if a fish breaks your line and takes the lure down to the depths with him. If you get it hung up while fishing it, you just go to it and pop it loose.Henry88 wrote:Nice for sure, but talk about a lure that is "looking for a place to get hung up on"steelersfan97 wrote:That Vamp is super nice.
Better keep that baby far from obstacles.
It has that "old time" groove, though..........

I'm sure that's all true; though maybe more so for Paradise CA that Osteen FL.
I don't bass fish much, don't care for the taste, and I have Ponce Inlet and Mosquito Lagoon within an hour full of tasty fish
But is seems when I do, bass caught on the top tend not to stay there.
I don't know, I guess it just looks like something the Navy would drag behind a mine sweeper
But it' all good if you're out fishing
Except you can't shoot your Henry

Re: Grandfather's last lures
I used to used my hard earned money to buy lures too... from the 7-11.
You can laugh all you like, but every time they got in new stock, I'd buy several of
my favorite spinner. Yellow body, treble trailer, and yellow deer hair with red tip
covering the hook. Bass killed it.
Love the story bout Grandpa... makes me sit and think about time spent with mine.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
