ABOUT US
We are
father and son, best freinds and fishing buddies.
My father was born the year of 1938 in Princess Anne, Maryland before
moving to Salisbury 6 years later. On his 11th birthday
he received a brand new Heddon fishing pole, Shakepeare Reel and two
Heddon River Runt lures. One green and yellow (Perch) and the other white
with a red head (Red Head). He would walk about five miles to a local spot called
Johnson’s Pond. Johnson's was a 100 acre
lake located just a few miles south of the Delaware border. It was
then and still is today relatively under fished due to its location. On
that day he claimed having had one of the best days of fishing in his
life. Having caught over thirty largemouth bass in the 2-5lb
range. That day was the beginning of an everlasting love for
the sport of bass fishing and the great outdoors.
My mother
was an avid fisherman as well., getting her start on the rivers and
streams of California. She was one of the best fly fisherman
that you have ever seen, a true natural. Having traveled all over the world,
fishing for just about every species of fish known to exist. Their
journeys carried them as far as Africa where they fished for giant
Walking Catfish, Tiger Fish and giant Perch. To Mexico and
Costa Rica fishing Sail Fish and Marlin. Florida fishing
Snook, Tarpon, Bone Fish, Permit and other species
indigenous to those areas. Together
they fished hundreds of Lakes and Rivers across the USA as well as
numerous Bays, Tidal Waters and Oceans.
That
true love for the sport fishing and the great outdoors they both
shared was past down through the our family to me. I got my
start fishing at the early age of five. Fishing lakes in
California, such as Clear Lake, Lake Berryessa, Calero and Anderson
Reservoirs. As avid fisherman you are always searching for
that perfect lure to catch your targeted species of fish. Over
the years this led us to begin collecting old antique fishing lures.
Although we collected many different lures, our collection consisted
of primarily Heddon,
Creek Chub and Paw Paw. This soon developed into one of our biggest hobbies,
increasing as time went on. I now fish tournaments for Largemouth
Bass in California, primarily on the Delta and at Clear Lake.
Within
this website are many beautiful and extremely
difficult to find lures from our collection. We hope that all who
visit this website will enjoy them as much as we do.
