Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on May 29, 2013 at 4:41pm: But, is it a HOME MADE lunchbox?

Comment by Leo Nguyen on May 29, 2013 at 4:36pm: "Fish with lures, but carry big worms": well said with Roosevelt's statement. Nothing like reverting to natural products. This is why you shouldn't presume my lunch box is a lunch box. Bite into it and you'll be surprised of the filling.

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on May 29, 2013 at 4:33pm: B-)
Thanks Papa.

I collected some foam pieces today, as a way to get started on my home grown worm box.

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on May 27, 2013 at 6:33pm: That's been my motto for a while, now.
I believe I'll have a beer and ponder out some more....

Thanks papa.

Comment by Papa Turner on May 27, 2013 at 7:11am: Thanks, David I'll give it a try, but I have a new motto: "Fish with lures, but carry big worms"! My apologies to Teddy Roosevelt

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on May 26, 2013 at 6:21pm: @papa, pt. 2
With summer coming, try the split shot leading technique.
It'll help get the spoon down to the fish.

And have another beer on me.

I always have worms and for all my experimenting, I fall back on them, too.

Comment by John Sheehan on May 26, 2013 at 5:19pm: Simple Crayfish Trap . Expedites the process of bait catching .

Comment by Papa Turner on May 26, 2013 at 6:26am: Thanks David, I've seen a few guys fishing w/them on youtube. I thought I try it maybe add a split shot inside the cap and tie some chenile to the back. Anyway it's a good excuse to have another beer.

I'm a sucker for new jigs & lures most don't work for me . I always seem to go back to worms. You really can't beat a natural bait, after all isn't that what all the artificials are trying imitate?
