To heck with all of this, just let me have the mambas and smashers and mashers.

This really is quite amusing to me as apparently it is to most of you too. Yeah the root beer is one of my favorite combo's when the squid are running. I have two or three different heads all bullets skirted with the pearl white over root beer. The one in particular that I really like is a medium sized bullet produced by Ocean City Lures. I've had to re-skirt that lure four times in the past month. Works great on our stripey's, blues, and spearfish. But will catch anything including tuna.

On another interesting point aside from this horrible discussion with Fat Girl; I cleaned out the stomach of a shortnosed spearfish the other day and found some interesting contents. In the stomach plain as day was a baby sailfish, and about a three pound squid. The spearfish was a female with more eggs than a chicken farm. We are sending the baby sailfish to a scientist to confirm the species as there is some discussion that spearfish in their larval stages have incredibly long bills. But the dorsal fin was mostly decomposed but followed the full length of the body. I will try and post an album featuring some of this weeks catches off of the boats I've been on this past week. Gotta re-tie all my doubles for the Kona Classic and Firecracker coming up.

Aloha, tight lines and thanks for the support,

This is becoming very old.

Marlin Guy, AKA: JD, AKA: BAIT BOY! That is all you are is a bait boy. Dont be so hostile. Everyone needs to earn a living yours just happens to be being someones guy they go to when they need a line fixed or their boat cleaned. I on the other hand am the captain of my own boat.

It makes me wonder,... you are very new yourself on not only this site but others that I am a PAYING member to. Do you have nothing else better to do then to follow me around and Knock what we do? All you know is what Doug, AKA: Foul Wind , AKA: Kona Kona, has told you so who are you to judge. As I told you before and I will tell you again..I gave you my number you called me 3am my time and I answered told you to I will call you back on my way to work, which I did and you never called back. You are a big talker behind the computer.

As far as supporting the web site to advertise I usually do that but I figure I would get a feel for the site first. LOL ..support a site that allows such slander?? I think not.

I can assure you I am not a china based company and you all are welcome to come by my shop on Long Island and watch how we infact do make our own lures and we have all our masters not copies of some hillbilly or anyones for that matter. And unlike Night Heron I do not copy any other manufactures lures either. Therefore I dont need anyones permission. As a matter of fact, I will give anyone of you a free head of your choice if you do stop by.

As far as my lures I do have cup faces, Pushers, bullets etc...so are you saying everyone is a copy cat? because black bart or Doug (foul wind) where not the first to come out with them. The only people that are going against FAT GIRL are you and Doug and a few people you have make new names to talk smack.

With that said This slander should end because I am extending a personal invite to anyone to come check out our place, see how we make them and with your free head you can see that they work.

I can back up what I say ...can you???

Fat Girl, when it comes to hostility it seems you are the one stoking the fire right now, I have moved on and am discussing a completely different topic now and you are stuck on page one. I don't have time to call and chat like grannies on a porch. This is the quickest way for me to respond to you. I will call, I promise. I'm busy making an honest living. I told you I would call you when it convienient for me; not you. You should have taken the chance to explain yourself when you had it. Until then you will have to wait till I call you again. Quit calling me every hour like a school girl with a crush as you did yesterday. And since we are all behind computer screens I find it hard to say whose screen name indicates a real person. And frankly, when it comes to lures, as it has been previously stated, there are hundreds of heads, tons of shapes, and most are very similar. Yes, all of the lures we pull have come from somewhere. With that said most lures are copy cats from somewhere else. The difference in the lures that I get, is that my maker has paid the price, bought the rights, and recieved permission to make his lures from a previous company or individuals who created the molds many years ago here in Hawaii. I am fortunate enough to live in a location with a great lure making reputation and history. Henry Chee, George Parker, and many others are the ones who orginally designed heads and experimented with material, technique, and style. If you feel like your lures are truly better because you invite people to your shop than feel free to ship me out some of the heads you have ripped off from my maker and we'll see which ones work better. I'll run them on the same wake, with the same hooks, and same leader, and we'll see what happens. Until fall, when I will be able to call you; this is the only way I can see for you to prove to me your lures are truly better. Oh and i posted an album on this site, not to shabby for a bait boy huh? And we didn't even have to burn four hundred bucks worth of fuel to get them.

Aloha,
J.D.

I could care less about your pictures of the fish you may have cought..that only makes you a bait boy who likes to fish! LOL

You see this is where you and I are different I could care less about what YOU think of me or my Lures. So I dont have to "prove" anything to you. It is you with the accusations, so unlike you, before I make ASSumtions I know all the facts and both sides. You however know only what some hillbilly told you.

The reason I am replying to what you said 2 pages ago is because I have a life and do not sit at the computer 24/7.

Once again I do not need to get permisson from you, doug, night heron or any other maker because we manufacture our own molds and designs proven to work.

Now Let is rest and move on Im sure you since your "soooo busy" you should have better things to do then to bother me and my post.

[marlinguy]

Apparently you do have something to prove. You keep inviting people to your shop, and you keep responding to me when I tell people what is really going on. So that also mean that you really do care what I think. I was told by my father when I was young that no one should be a liar or full of crap unless they have a perfect memory, and since I don't I am neither. Maybe you should consider learning that lesson yourself. Oh, does this mean that you won't be sending me any lures? Too bad. I guess I'll just have to keep using the lures that are working for me and never get a chance to see how good yours really are. If I purchased and sent you a Hooked on Phoneics starter package will you promise to use it so people can understand what you are typing?

Aloha,

Once again, you are wrong. Let me say this for you in BAIT BOY terms...I can give two craps about what you think, but seeing as how you think you know it all I feel it nessecary to show the world what a mockery you are making of yourself.

And thanks for the offer on the lesson your daddy tought you but maybe he should have tought you the one that goes like this...
"Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see!"

It obvious that you were not tought how to be a respectful man if you were you would not be downgrading people on the internet for no apparent reason other then...what your butt buddy tells you.

FYI the spelling of Phonics is as shown here not as you spell it! LMAOOOOO
Maybe you can look into that for yourself.
