  • Just wanted you boys to know that I caught a nice 23 inch red grouper about 20 miles out of Ft. Pierce on one of the large yummy sand fleas. also caught a mess of seabass.  In fact every drop to the bottom with just the flea on a hook resulted in a strike.  I shall be ordering more of this and some crabs as well. can't wait to try it.

To carolinalures,
These are two of my lastest catches on the
yummie bird lure, both fish was caught the same morning the one with me holding the fish by tail is a 103 lb, the one i am holding upright is a 95 lb, both was caught on the same lure and it is still ready, this is a great lure, due to certain times of the year all you see are smaller flying fish in the gulf and the yummie is a little larger and I think this is a great solution to that. so be asure from here on out I will always have these lures along with the yummies. I am really impressed with the ports for the hooks on this lure, please past along to the one who came up with this design, that they did a great job. and I am looking fwd to any other products from your company.
Thank you,
Todd         
 
  • We had a very good morning and the artificials continue to produce.
    I am the guy in the yellow slicker with the bandage on my ear. (basel cell). The guy in blue was also using a Carolina lure.
    My neighbors are eating Pompano again.  This is the 2nd Pompano in my last two outings caught on your fleas. Live fleas got scarce around here and the artificial are really dong the job.      Ed,  Aventura, Fl       March 2007

  • I don't know if you remember me or not, but earlier this year you helped me pick and order a large number of lures and components for use in Abaco, Bahamas.
    Everything we purchased thru you worked great, and we have had a very successful season so far.....
    We made daisy chains with some of the various sizes of flying fish we purchased that the Sailfish can not resist.
    We are also using the daisy chains without hooks to bring schools of Dolphin to the boat, and we then cast rigged flying fish lures to the schools with spinning rods. This is some fast, fun, and productive fishing.
    We have also done quite well slow trolling the heavy jigs thru the coral heads for monster grouper, amberjacks, and large snapper.
    I have attached a couple of photos that I thought you might enjoy:
    The first is a 37 pound Bull Dolphin taken on a spinning rod with a 9" flying fish lure, the next is a cooler full of Dolphin taken on spinning rods using the 7" and 9" lures, and the last is a Marlin taken on a lure we made from the trolling heads we purchased and rigged with the skirt hair we bought from you.
    Thank you again for everything - we will be ordering again soon. Captain Garth Albury   Abaco, Bahamas November 2007

 

We pulled the single flying fish on the way back by itself and caught a nice yellowfin and the 2 biggest dolphin on it, I put that in my fishing report on Chas. Fishing.com It held up well so I will let you know how long it makes it if it keeps getting bit like that. I saw the dolphin chasing it from the tower which was pretty cool.
Thanks again

.....a photo of my dad's African Pompano which ate one of your Sand Fleas last year in St. Thomas (neutral color). Extremely slow day that day and live bait wasn't cutting it so I pulled out one of your baits and got a look from the guide as though I was crazy - needless to say, the Guide offered to purchase the rest of your baits from me. I just gave them to him. Capt Todd


 

 

 

 

 

As you know we have been using your 2 oz Tuna Busters for the past 10+ years with great success.I simply won't fish without at least two of them in the spread,my crew knows if you pull them out of the spread I'll stop the boat.Many of my friends have started using them and have become believers as well .
Last year while fishing the Beach Haven White Marlin Invitational here in New Jersey we caught 2 Bluefin one was 99.7 lbs and the second was 162.3 lbs both caught with Tuna Busters.
The 162.3 lb fish held up for the second heaviest fish for day two and won a little prize money. Here's the photo of the fish at boat side you can notice the Tuna Buster near the rod tip when the fish hit it ran the Buster up the line and jammed it on the mini swivel.


You can see this and other catches at www.obsessionfishing.com  Your lures have accounted for 95% of my larger fish,all Big Eyes,42lb Mahi,Blue and White Marlin.
Thanks Again

Wow! Send me more Yummee Flyers! They really work and drive the big yellowfin tuna crazy. Fishing on the Red Rooster III about 500 miles South of san Diego, I rigged one about 6 ft below a large helium balloon and the wind carried the rig away from the boat skipping the flyer on the surface. It didnt get too far away from the boat before a trophy sized yellowfin tuna exploded on it. Sometimes the tuna get so excited they come all of the way out of the water when hitting the Yummee Flyer. I also used the Yummee tuna with straight tied to a 12/0 Gamakatsu heavy hook and a chin weight to get it down to where the big tuna were feeding while at the Hurricane Bank about 900 miles South of San Diego on the Red Rooster III. It was slammed by a huge tuna, but unfortunately I did not get a good hookset. Im trying the Yummee Tuna again this March. Next time Ill get a better hook set, I hope!
