Looking for the Excalibur (Bill Dance signature series) Fat Free Fry in Crawfish. The lure is 2' long and the body is practicly see thru (with the exception for where the crawfish design and color has been airbrushed) I would like to purchase as many as you have. I will take old, new, it doesn't matter. This is all my boyfriend fishes with and he is almost out of these.
Thanks

Jan 4, 2004; 08:18PM - Power Drop -Shot Tactic

Tip&Trick Description 1:
We have been using a Power Drop Shot technique that you may have heard of, and it works great in Heavy Cover, and around docks and wood in rivers and lakes. We just rig a heavy weight of 3/8 to 3/4 of an ounce, and then tie on the bait, such as a Yamamoto 'IKA' tube about 10 inches up the line on a 3/0 Gamakatsu hook, and flip and pitch it right in the same way as a jig or other bait. It stays there longer and has more action. Deadly on in-active fish.

January 26, 2007
Our rollercoaster year continues as the water temperature and currents continue to move dramatically each day. Last week again saw some great fishing along with some days that can best described as too slow for comfort. Returning anglers to the CASA LAS BRISAS at thePuerto Vincentee Area, Mr. Ray Raychowski’s group, Fishing 5 days aboard the Super pangas, Janeth, Adrenalina, and Grand Jefe 2, landed 13 SAILFISH and 6 DORADO. One of the highlights of the trip was landed by one of the group fishing aboard the Janeth with an estimated 40 lb SNOOK. Captain Artuo came back to Zihuatanejo and fished 2 days with French angler Mr. Soulasoul who landed 4 SAILFISH and 2 DORADO and also landed 1 SAILFISH fishing aboard the Zapatito Gordo.. Returning angler Mr. David Horn fishing 3 days with Captain Adolofo raised 7 SAILFISH and 1 Striped Marlin to the fly landing and releasing 3 SAILFISH and 1 Dorado. Also fishing with Captain Adolofo was angler Bob Simon who posted the single best day of the week with 6 SAILFISH and followed that day with a 1 SAILFISH performance aboard the Dos Hermanos 2. New Jersey angler and inshore specialist, Ron Reinhardt fishing aboard the Dos Hermanos 2 landed 4 Jacks, 2 Spanish Mackerel and 7 Bonitos while only raising 1 Roosterfish to the plug. Fly fishing angler Kirk Eberhard fishing 4 days aboard the Marfel raised 5 SAILFISH. Mr. Lloyd Mcevers fishing 2 days aboard the Marlin Azul landed 6 SAILFISH and 1 Dorado. Charlie Barrows fishing 1 day aboard the super panga Michelle landed and released 2 SAILFISH and 1 Dorado. Captain Chiro on the Bloody Hook reported a 2 SAILFISH day for angler Randy Stevens and 2 SILFISH for Mr. Craig Miller who fished 2 DAYS. Captain Jose Vargas on the L:a Bamba reported 6 SAILFISH and 2 DORADO in 7 days of fishing. Captain Ruben on the Auga Azul reported 11 SAILFISH and 1 Dorado in 7 days. Captain Varga on the Estruion landed 1 Blue Marlin of 170 lb. along with several SAILFISH. The Beginning part of the week of the saw some very good action but rapidly changing ocean temps near the middle of the week slowed the fishing down considerably. At last report the action was once again picking up nicely.
Sea Conditions: Calm
Ixtapa Zihuatanejo Weather: Nice with some cloud cover.
Bait Supply: Good
