"On the weekend of Oct 4 and 5 I attended and helped teach a trolling class at Diamond Valley Lake. I received some of your SEP'S scented grubs. This past weekend I decided to finally pin one on and give it a try. We caught the heck out of the fish. We were catching them on the 2 inch Watermelon.
These are really hot and I love the way they last longer than a night crawler but produce the same way. I was fishing them behind a willowleaf micro-mini flasher, I did notice that a shorter than usual leader worked best. I was using a 12 inch leader. I am looking forward to trying the brown spec and the green frog 2" grubs. I have really enjoyed using your products they are top of the line."

"I just had to drop you a quick note and say thanks. After picking up your book Trolling Truths and reading through it a few times. It helped me in getting my boat all dialed and once out on the water knowing what to look for, setting up the rods and using my downriggers for the first time it was almost like second nature like I really knew what I was doing. The funny thing about it was, I did know what I was doing. So this morning my daughter started off her Spring Break from school she's 9. And said she wanted to go and try fishing for her first time, I've tried getting her to go out with me before but she wouldn't do it. All my studying and getting my boat in order was with the San Pablo Res. in mind. So I start thinking it's her first time fishing and mine with downriggers. Lets play it safe and do a dry run first at Contra Loma before hitting the big water at San Pablo, and we're just down the road from Contra Loma anyway. We get there and see fish at levels on the fish finder so I've got her running shallow with a small blue/silver Rapala minnow off one of your mini flasher rigs and I'm running deeper with a night crawler off one of your Pro Flasher rigs. And we've only been at it 20 - 30 min. I get a hit on the crawler, yes light tackle's the only way to go I pull in a 10.5 lb trout it's the biggest trout I've ever seen, my daughter's going nuts. I tell her to get me the net and she's dad we need a new net, I'm why what happened to it, and she's nothing I don't think the fish is going to fit in the net, it did but it was real tight fit. We had a good laugh about it, once we got the fish in the boat. After that we were happy and ready to go home, we had more than enough fish and we're trolling her line back to the dock when she gets a hit on her line. She caught her first fish a nice 1.5 lb crappie. This was one of the shortest fishing trips I've ever had and if not one of the best ones I ever had. I think she's hooked and I've got a new fishing partner for life. And who knows if there are any more days like today at Contra Loma I may never make it to the San Pablo Res. One of the best how to books I've ever read and I've read a few."
Thanks Again
