Tackle Jacketz...Cool New Product for Old Lures

4.9.15

I got a shipment of these new Tackle Jacketz.  How it works is you cut the sleeve to the length of your old beat up lure.

You then slide it on the lure and dunk it in rolling hot water.

I tried it on a few plugs.  This Cordell Redfin had been fished hard in Florida and was about to be thrown out, when I slid this new color on.

It worked well as a redfish came up and missed in one cast and on another I hooked up only to lose one at the boat.

Here is a Chug Bug that had seen it's better days after many striper and spotted bass had beat it to death on Lake Lanier.

Here it is with a new Tackle Jacketz cover.

It is so easy a cave man can do it.

Spring Bite

4.8.15

water temp 71 degrees

We managed to ease out on a fine spring morning as the tide was coming in.

The fish were waiting for us as Nancy brought this keeper redfish on board with a mud minnow after missing her first few bites.

Although it was a keeper we wanted one larger.  I suggested an 18" fish and then proceeded to catch one on a twister tail jig.

Low tide + no wind = Gnats, consequently the buffs on and over our nose, ears, neck, etc.

We missed a few more reds and decided to go look for trout.

We were happy the bigger ones had arrived as we boated two keeper trout and had several smaller ones come over the gunwales.

All came on the twister jig and we were happy they had made it back.

It is very nice to have spring back!
