antonio999us Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) Hello TU Forum, This morning after learning about this Forum, I subscribed right away. A friend from Germany told me about it. Well, I live in Lima-Peru. Like many of you friends, fishing is my passion, but life is tough and I can escape for fishing as much as I want. Then, I had to create alternatives to satisfy my passion for fishing. Today, I split into three parts my love for fishing: 1) escape for fishing; 2) Do my own homemade lures; and 3) Collecting lures…Let me tell you a little more of each one. Escape for fishing, I like to go for saltwater and freshwater fishing. First Saltwater, I practice surfcasting most part of the year, from the shore line with the waves up to my waist or chest. Also, in summer time I do some trolling next to my beach house. I like to fish Corvinas, Flounder, Groupers, etc. Second in freshwater, during winter time I like to go to up to the highlands looking for some trouts. Do my own homemade lures. I like a lot to do this. Probably I am the only one who do what I do in Lima. This complementary activity has turned into one of my favorites hobbies. I began doing my own flies and suddenly I start doing lures, and since two years ago my own wooden lures. In addition to this, I began to develop my Youtube channel (find me as ANTONIO999US) where I post videos to show my work, my projects, my lures collections, and my fishing activities. Collecting lures, in my fishing life I bought different brands of hard lures. Bomber, Rapala, Storm, Mirrorlure, Yo-zuri, DUO, Daiwa, Shimano, Megabass, etc. Actually I do not know how many plugs do I have. Given that always I take care of my lures (I wash and rinse every single lure that I use after coming back from fishing) I still have lures when I began fishing... along the time, I was using different brands, now I stay with Japanese Duo and Daiwa, which are excellent plugs for the kind of fishing that I practice. I do not have an introduction video in my channel, that something I have to work with, but I would like to share this one, where I show my first dozen of wooden lures I made. At this time, I want to tell you that I named all my lures ATTILA, because I always admired Attila the Hun as a warrior of the ancient times of Europe. "These plugs are the Attila Fat Minnow" Something I would like to say is that each Attila Fat Minnow is one of a kind wooden plug, because I made them with my hands and it is impossible to do two exact ones... Also, I numbered each wooden plug I make. The Attila Fat Minnow is a wooden plug with these characteristics: - 4.5" long - Weights around 1oz each, - Weight shifting system, - Two Japanese saltwater treble hooks #01 - Shocking colours - Reflective holograms - 3d eyes (halves to give a mean look) Well, I do not want to bored you more, here is a link to my video: “100% Homemade Wooden Lures” I hope you like it. Please contact me through the Forum or my Channel, in case you have questions, recommendations or something to criticize… The first dozen of my homemade wooden lures Edited June 28, 2017 by antonio999us 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglinarcher Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Good to have you on the site. I always wondered about Saltwater fishing along Peru. I may PM you in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Ron Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Ok Now Attila is funny. I say that because I have paint schemes that I have named after historically great conquerors. So I too have an Attila as well Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great, Mahmud. Welcome. You can't help but to learn here. Ron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW Lures Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) Welcome to TU. Nice looking lures. As you can tell we love talking about baits and looking at them. However the site has some rules that it goes by. One is posting completed baits as a show thing. Now if you have a question about a issue, its allowed. The gallery is where these pics can be posted. If you look at the pin thread in hard baits forum home page you will see an article about posting pics in the forum wrote by the monitor named Nathan. Whether I agree or not its a rule that we agree to the rule when we become members. I'm posting this just to let you know before someone else post this in a different way. Im just helping you out....... you being new to TU. Never fear summer is on the way to the southern hemisphere because its getting toastie here. Even though Peru is in the upper to central South America. Looking forward to your post and knowledge here at TU. Anglinarcher its a great place to fish, so is Argentina. Hunting in Argentina is pretty good to. Nice places to go. Dale Edited June 29, 2017 by DaleSW Adding comment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice places to go. Dale I knew about Argentina, and suspected Peru could be, what I don't know is how to find a "guide" once I get there. LOL Wife wants me out of the house for some time and I have discovered I know nothing about fishing out of the US. OUCH! Sounds like a Docks subject, but the Docks are always pretty silent.

SW Lures Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 I asked and looked for a name Anglinarcher but I couldn't find anything. I went on a business trip and was invited. Antonio may can help and I'll try to find something. I'll pm you if I do. Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She does not want my name out there and I do believe it has hurt my career. But, at my age, it does not matter now. My work was always Engineering for various government entities, from local level up. Strange life for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW Lures Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 I couldnt fine anything on the trip, it was set up so all I had to do is to go. It's been sometime ago now.

Anglinarcher Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 No problem Dale. Even if I had the chance to go right now, I would still need to get my passport, check on Visa, etc., etc. I am hopping that by this time next year I will know enough to go some place.

You can't help but to learn here. Ron Hello Ron.... it is incredible...I like a lot to read about great conquerors of human past. I have read a lot about Alexander, Hannibal, Peter the Great, Attilla, Napoleon and others... Recently I was looking for a good book about Mahmud. I'm sure here I will learn lots of things.

In case you plan to come down here for fishing, you may need to plan at least three to four days... A couple of years ago, my boss came from USA (he is a fishing fanatic, and a captures record angler) I introduced him my brother in law and they went some places for fishing around Lima. He did not have enough time to go to the Ica where i go for fishing. Just let me know and maybe we can arrange something .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
