Well anglers, class is in session again.  In the just released DVD, Sonar/GPS 301 by Frazier Marine Group with Professor Wilson Frazier as the instructor.  The Professor goes into detail on how anglers can get more out of their sonar and GPS units.  This is the third in the series of step-by-step educational DVD.

Ever lure wise angler knows all about handcrafted balsa wood crankbaits and how they catch more fish than other crankbaits, but what about hand poured soft plastic lures?  Do you know how to hand pour your own soft plastic lures or even know where to purchase supplies to make your own soft plastic lures?  LureCraft Industries, one of the biggest retailers of materials for hand pouring and building your own hand crafted lures has a DVD titled How to Hand Pour Soft Plastics.

In the DVD, Shawn Straley, co-owner of LureCraft Industries (http://www.lurecraft.com/), explains how to pour your own soft plastic baits using a hot plate, Lee Production Pot designed for hand pouring soft plastics, and a microwave.  Straley also goes into detail on what grades of plastics are used to pour soft plastic baits, how to color baits, how to make tube baits and round jerk worms; in addition to explaining how to make two tone baits and pouring mold heads into a lure by using a wire rig to hold it in place.

I was trout fishing the other day with White River trout fishing guide Nathan Lackey and he mentioned that his dad, Troy Lackey and another White River fishing guide David Capps had made a tape of how to catch trophy German Brown trout.  “Big trophy sized German Brown trout?” I asked.  “Yep, they sell them up in the gift shop at Gaston’s Resort,” Nathan continue, “it tells all about catching trophy German Brown trout; my dad and David are catching them right there behind that island.”  Nathan continues to point out places his dad had caught big German Brown trout.  “Right there is where he caught the world record Brown trout back in 1972 that weighed 32.8-pounds,” revealed Nathan.  Before I knew it, Nathan had stopped and ran up to Gaston’s Gift Store then came back with a copy of Fishing for Trophy German Brown Trout for me.   

I have to be honest here.  This is not about a DVD or book.  It’s about a VHS tape titled Fishing for Trophy German Brown Trout: Winter through Early Spring in the Heart of the Ozarks on Arkansas’ Beautiful White River by Top-Guide Productions.  I know your VHS player in buried in the closet.  Well, this is one VHS tape worth digging it out to watch.
