As i`m sure all of you are aware christmas eve day was a tragic day for west webster first responders responding to a house fire where two lost their lives and two are in the hospital along with an off duty greece policeman whom was also involved.I usually hold the auctions for our baitfish fund or for our muskies inc chapter.I`d like to do something a little different this time.I`d like to help out those families affected by running a couple auctions on ebay with donated muskie baits from our chapter and LOU members and i need your help.I`ve spoke to afew people on the phone & already have a great start with the help of zach and capt larry.What i need are a couple GOOD/new baits that will help increase funds.ALL proceeds will go directly to the west webster firemans auxulary for those families when all auctions are complete so it may take a couple weeks.I know alot of you are from the webster/rochester area and i work in webster so it hits very close to home.So how about it.....i`ve got a new niagara walleye plow for starters.A few things will be listed seperatly and i`ll bundle a couple more depending on what i recieve.I will start with the plow and g loomis tin rod sign(new-discontinued)on saturday and zach needs a couple days to produce one of his masterpieces-thanks man.I`m shooting for around 10baits!!as i`m a small outfit. :lol:I can`t think of a better way to show our support as a whole!!

Contact me on my cell(no texts-i`m limited) for local pickup or if you need to ship something.May also lv me a pm.Thankyou Chad :yes:

Thanks everyone

Lets keep them all in our prayers

I made a special bait for this and IMO think its neat, I did a good size run of foils for Chris Haley in Kentucky who makes the Widowmaker Jerkbaits and one of these is what I will throw down. I have a foiled crappie with swiveling flashabou fins (super custom) that I am throwing down. It is a one of a kind bait and hopefully it helps out people in need after this tragedy, only one like it ever made so if you like it............ ;) I can tell you that Chris Haley is charging $60 each just for the smaller jerkbaits (the big ones cost some change!). "Bobby boy"- do I mail it to you or what homey? LMK. I wish I had a few more to donate but I am 100% sold out, I seem to have a following with a few guys that call me about once a month and ask me what I have laying around and buy any and all baits I have. I may post a pic on here, idk. I try to stay off the radar and enjoy baitmaking so much more. Good job "Sol", I can say that it was a 4 hour "Kentucky Apple-Pie Moonshine" inspired paint job on this bait, man- that stuff will make a person blind!

Jim Reynolds and i visited the west webster fire dept on january 27th and presented them with a check for $500 which was possible by generous bidding from everyone.Thankyou to everyone who made donations and to those whom reached into their pockets to help this cause.We met a great bunch of guys that day.I`m glad we were able to pull this together.

Thanks again,could`nt have done it without you!
