Should I be impressed or disappointed?

[quivira kid]

I've tied two dozen jigs tonight, and have four dozen heads painted and in the oven right now curing. Those will most likely all be tied up by lunchtime tomorrow. Should I be impressed with myself for being so productive, or depressed for having no social life on a friday night and saturday? Hahaha

Well, for what its worth..... from a guy who is sitting on his floor with a Sam Adams Octoberfest next to him - listening to weather channel in the background - surfing through internet fishing sites ...... i am impressed!

What is this thing called a 'social life' that you speak of????

BUUUUUTTTTT - I am going fishing tomorrow! And taking a friend in an extra yak i have. Planning to be up at 5:30. WTH am i doing up surfing the net at 11:00? ha!

 

[AtticaFish]

Forgot.... what style/type (intended species) of jigs are you whipping up?

I just finished changing a diaper on our new baby. I am jealous of you both.

My hunting buddy's dad ordered 100 each 1/32oz, 1/16oz, 1/8oz, and 1/4oz... I am almost done with the smaller two sizes. They should rock on the gills and crappie. 1/32oz are almost all hackle tail, 1/16 are almost all marabou. Duck flank on the rest. I'm planning on kiptail for most of the 1/8oz and bucktail on the 1/4oz. Bigger sizes will be used for crappie, white bass, walleye, and wipers.
After I get the 1/32oz finished, I'll take a picture. I'm doing the same color combos and amounts for the two smaller sizes.

Sounds like a typical Friday night to me... Lol

If it helps any, I've been married 28 years so I don't have much a life either. She is out of town this weekend so what am I doing? Last night I got my jigs bagged and tagged for the swap. Could have gone fishing this morning, but I opted for cutting the grass and cleaning the road tar off my truck, with the hot weather we have been having it was covered... And tonight??? Just purchased a six pack of ultra and a rib eye steak. So I'm gonna bbq and drink and bake about 50 jig heads. Maybe fish in the morning. Not much of a life, but oh well, I'm still kicking!!!

I'll put a pic of the 1/32oz set up when it's done, promise. I've got a dozen and a half or so to do yet.

On top of all that, my new side job arrived today! I'm going to be a tyer for Crappie Pro. 500 painted heads and materials were in the box... So that'll keep me outta trouble!

[Jig Man]

Congrats on the extra work.... I'm sure they will be pleased with the product.

 

[StumpHunter]

Should be impressed with yourself. Lots of jigs to tie in a day.

 

[CrappieHappy]

Yep, I am a slow tyer... Carpal tunnel doesn't help....

 

[quivira kid]

Yellowjacket, a guy I know prostaffs for them and he recommended me... Just a matter of the right people knowing me. It wasn't somthing I was seeking out.

Just a matter of the right people knowing me.

Bah!!! Spose to say its because your just that damn good! Congrats on the Crappie Pro score!

Sounds like the set you are working on now is a decent mix of sizes and styles.
