Eel Bucket Storage Design - My Red Bucket's solution to keep those eels alive, Fall Gear 2010

Took some time today to make an eel bucket.  As some of you know if you store the eels in your bucket over a longer period of time they will drown themselves in their own slime.  Either that or they will poison each other with they excess er... stuff from their bodies.

Anyhow, enter my red buckets.  Take two buckets and perform the drilling to one of them.  The one that has the holes is the top bucket and the regular one is the bottom one.  This drains the slime from the eels so they will live happily a little longer.  This is the stack design.

Just a trick I found on a popular surf fishing website: Surftalk
Enjoy!

JDM Original Saurus Train Inc. Tobi Pencil Lure - Blue Sardine, Fall Gear 2010

The Original Pencil stick from Japan.  Shinkingupenshiru.  Never replicated all wood wire through construction.  Paying homage.  Thank you CSL2.  I dug this one out of storage.  Originally I was going to target bluefin tuna but it's a bit undersized.

Mega Zoom's - Back from the storage boxes, Fall Gear 2010

A few have asked me about what works for me when it comes to catching inshore/backbay fish.  I've told them that the most successfull lure has been this particular Zoom fluke.

They are no secret to serious anglers as it catches everything.  From Tog, to Seabass, Fluke, to Stripers, Blues, Croaker, Sundials, Sea Robins, Walleye, to Flathead Catfish this one catches it all.

Enter the Mega White Ice 7" model.  --Don't say I didnt warn you. =)
