Slimshady Customs

My family was in town for our annual trip to Erie and the Detroit River. It was another epic year for us. We fished Erie on Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, Friday and yesterday. Monday we jigged the river. Wednesday and Thursday were busts due to the nasty weather. We had several 20+ fish days on each boat.

The hot baits Tuesday were “Big John Here” and “Psycho Killer”.

Friday it was sunny with stained water, and the best baits were “Gold Digger” and “Lava Lamp”

Yesterday it was raining and dark, so white baits ruled. “Fermi-nuff”, “Pair-a-dice” and “Double Barrel” ruled the day.

“Double Barrel” also caught an 10.8 lb, 30” fish that my uncle is having mounted.

Thanks to Jeremy Bartmann, Chris Bartmann, and my Uncle Mike for making the drive out every year! I also enjoyed meeting their buddy Shannon and Aiden Bartmann also made it out for a couple days this time!

Can’t wait for next year!

Restocking my inventory for the Fall Promo. Buy any 5 catalog baits and get 1 free! Use as many times as you want. See you at the ramp! Cheers

It was awesome finally spending some time painting in my new workshop! It was great having everything organized and ready to go. First batch was a big one! 104 in total.

For anyone who tried to purchase a “Gold Digger” recently while I was out, I now have a bunch of them in stock. Sorry for the delay. Moving is a ton of work!!

These blanks are awesome! The chrome is flawless, the bills are smooth!! No more scraping or sanding them!! They run great and most importantly, they catch fish!!

Attention valued Slimshady Customs clients, after a meticulous selection process, I am pleased to announce the addition of my new and improved Bandit KO 2.0 blanks to our catalog. The decision to upgrade was precipitated by a noticeable decline in quality from our previous supplier, prompting me to sample blanks from various sources over the past few months. I am thrilled to confirm that the blanks I have selected are of exceptional quality and consistency. We offer them in clear, chrome, and holographic finishes, the latter of which performed flawlessly in the crystal-clear waters of Lake Erie's central basin just a few weeks ago. I am offering the previous blanks at a deeply discounted price while the inventory lasts!!

Check out Michigan Out Of Doors from last night. They featured my “Gold Digger” pattern at the end of the LSC segment.

Had a great time at the Lake St Clair Walleye Association Classic Tournament today. Unfortunately, the fish we found yesterday in practice weren’t there today. We caught a ton of fish, just the wrong size or wrong species.

Tough day on Erie yesterday. We managed to grind out a two man limit, but they made us work for them. It was pretty cold out there to start with, but got nicer as the day went on. Fished 12-16 fow, and the fish were in the dirty water area. Best pattern by far was Purple Passion. Fermi-nuff caught a few too. I made a believer out of Ken, as he didn’t have any faith in the Purple Passion pattern, but by the end he had one on his side too.

He didn’t like that the purple was on the belly and the chartreuse was on top, but the walleyes disagreed with him…😀

Caught this beauty yesterday on my Black and Gold Foil pattern. It used to be the first one out of my box but I haven’t fished it much lately. I decided to bring it back out and it paid off for me! 10+ lbs and 30”. Huge belly.
