I figured I will post them all in 1 thread, today I worked on baby bass on both size vixens, both shower blows, and a popping bait. I kinda got a little sloppy with some of the lateral lines, but for being awake for 27 hours they ended up pretty nice. Tomorrow I plan on painting about twice as many in 2 different patterns haven't decided on the patterns yet, one will be bone which is about my favorite topwater pattern and the other will either be silver flitter or bluegill.

They look fine to me!

Time for the second pattern

dude don't you ever sleep? can't wait to see what you come up with on the top waters today. trying to figure out what i'm going to do with all those base-coated blanks you saw yesterday. still waiting on that moment of inspiration to hit.

I slept more last night than I usually do in 3 days I should be good for a few days of painting now lol. Woke up at 345 feeling like I needed to paint something.



Sneak peak, bcd.

Kids woke up earlier than expected I'm shut down for a little while. The front smaller vixen has the final gill shading the rest will get, then belly and back silver scales, red mouth and gill accent, then some large silver glitter and ac1315 treatment.

Bradshuflin-those are looking good. Will they work on Caney Lake? Or are those TX patterns only?

Thank you sir, I bet they will work on lakes in either state.

Got the baits almost complete, had to rethink my glitter idea and go with a different application method, little bit of a learning curve with this size glitter.

Finished up the flitter now on to bone topwaters

Was going for bone but these kinds ended up a powder just gotta paint the mouths.

Gotta keep rolling through the topwaters I have all the dressed hooks that need baits to hang on.

I'm telling you man, your baby bass pattern looks really good.

Also, that powder color looks very unique!

Thank you sir, the baby bass is a new pattern that I have only been doing a couple weeks. I did find out that I need to make sure I'm not dead tired when doing the stripes I was having trouble staying focused and should have just gone to bed and finished them up the next day.

Finished up the powder pattern with a pale orange mouth and throat and painted these I'm going to call sissy shad.
