June 2010 - Dave
Terry,
Thanks for the baits that you made for
me this year, they have been on fire.
We were 9 for 11 on opening morning all fish were caught on
gotchas of
some sort. Small black scale crackle, rattlesnake
St. lawerence, and glitter girl have been good. I have brought
these
baits on a few other boats and my side of the boat has done very
well.
I picked up a small "mudpuppy" colored bait at 9-mile BP that I
hadn't
seen before and it has been on fire as well. Seems
Every time I put it in the water it gets at least one.

This is my fourth year muskie fishing and
my first year using the Gotcha Baits.
The number and quality of fish I have caught this year on these
baits is just
tremendous. The baits are extremely durable and have a great
action as well a
paint job that can't be matched. I wish I would have known
about them sooner.
The best colors for me were the St. Lawrence followed by the Rattlesnake,
Brown
Back Lawton and the WB Perch.
Feb. 10, 2008 -Medicine Man
My best colors for the small baits were
black crackle with chartreuse belly (#1) then St. Lawrence,
Lawton, Black Carp and
Rattlesnake. We had some phenomenal days with your baits this
summer. I believe
the one day Craig and I fished by each other we had over 50
fished hooked up between
the two boats and I believe they were 90% on your small baits.

Lapper Lures makes great baits! I've used
Terry's baits since I started muskie
fishing about ten years ago. The gotcha's are about the only
bait that I still
use from my first season of buying and trying all the wrong
baits and some of the
right ones. Now my bait selection is only the right baits that
produce and
Gotcha's are in the mix. Over the years the Gotcha's have
produced many 30 plus
pound fish for me. Terry's baits are the right price, he has
great colors, they
hold up to heavy hits, and he stands behind his product. Highly
recommended by
the "Medicine Man", Eddie Pascua.
August 12, 2007 - MOMC Tournament,
I finally got to out and do a little fishing on
Sunday. The waves were a little rough in the morning but we manage
to get out about 9:00 AM. The fishing was a little slow for us but
we finally managed to get a 40" muskie about 11:00 AM on a small
jointed silver coachdog Gotcha. Some super nice fish were caught on
Saturday in the MOMC Tournament.

Still some nice fish being caught

Had a 6 hour trip today Sun 7/15. What a
beautiful day to be out on the water, plenty of sun
and some good times.. Fish weren`t snapping like the
last few trips, but we still boated 3 of the 7 we
had on.. Had one screamer that I would have liked to
see on the back end of a double header but that`s
how she got big giving fishermen the slip. Same
program as early in the week small gotchas 2 oz - 40
ft back off the boards.. Hot color olive frog yellow
belly had 4 hits. Still have a few dates open in
August to come battle these beasts give us a call
and Good Luck.. Captain Caig Miller (www.heatwavecharters.com)

Well the wind was cranking today Sat 7-14 .. I
was kinda suspect as to how well we would do with
the strong SW wind. I knew where the fish were, but
would they go today.. THEY DID to the tune of 8 for
13 with a MONSTER 35 pounder and another fish real
close to 30 pounds.. The Heat Wave boat and crew is
on fire 5 FISH OVER 30 POUNDS IN 4 TRIPS in a
row.... Once again all the fish were caught on small
gotchas.. This bait folks is making the difference
for some reason it`s what they want and I have been
giving it to them.. Good Luck Muskie Hunters Captain

Todays charter was equally impressive for big
fish .. The Red Barn has been on fire.. Ive boated 4
fish over 30 pounds in 3 trips, and have lost some
real screamers that I would have loved to see.. We
ended up 9 for 15 today (7/13) once again small
gotchas were the ticket.. Rattlesnake, Bluefrog,
silver carp and olive frog were the flavors.. Good
Luck Captain Craig (www.heatwavecharters.com)

Well I`ve had charters all week and it`s been the
same thing everyday anywhere from 5 to 7 fish so I
haven`t listed a report.. Today though was unreal no
hits for the first 4 hours of the charter than all
hell broke loose. We had 27 fish on in the next 4
hours and boated 17 of them.. I`ve done these
numbers many times before but what was amazing was
the quality of these fish 2 over 30 pounds the
biggest a 52 inch 33 pound beauty. I don`t know how
many we had over 44 inches maybe half. It was just
awesome 4 or 5 double headers.. All the fish were
caught on little gotchas smoke`in hot set up was 2
oz. 40ft back off a planner board... 10oz. - 10ft
back on a down rod.. Good to see the Lake St. Clair
Muskie are still alive and doing well.. tight lines

As promised I fished Tues. 7/3 on
the Canadian side by the red barn..
The water color was just awesome the
weeds blew out and I was marking big
hooks everything seemed perfect..
For the first hour it was we boated
2 of the first 4 on but lost a
really nice fish that was just
screaming line out.. Then thing
slowed up for the remainder of the
charter, and we just picked away at
them.. We ended up landing 4 out of
the 7 muskies we had on and also got
a bonus smallmouth and a 7 pound
walleye.. Not so bad I was happy to
get that muskie smell back into the
boat.. Lures was a mixed bag couple
on small gotchas, couple on tuff
shads, lokes, ziggy and a bucktail
each went once.. Tight Lines Captain
Craig
Slow start turned into a fantastic finish

Had a 6 hour charter on 6/28/07. Started out
really tough with strong NE winds making for a bumpy
ride. Trolled and trolled for 4 hours with out a
touch.. We prayed to look at just one nice fish. To
our surprize the winds let up and the lake laid down
and our prayers were than answered. In the last 2
hours the action was fast. We had 8 muskies on and
land 5 of them. We also landed 2 nice smallmouth
that both hit while fighting muskies. A 19 3/4 inch
5 pounder and a 18 1/2 inch 4 pounder. All the fish
came on (Terry Lapinowski`s) small gotchas 2 oz.
40ft. back off planner boards. bluefrog,
rattlesnake, carp and wb perch were the colors that
went. Good Luck guys and never give up always keep
working, and good things will happen. Tight Lines

Fished in Canada Wed. 6/20 by Red Barn ..Wind was
WSW. We had a nice chop.. Water color was off
colored. Presto with conditions right the fish
finally turned on. We went 7 for 9 with some really
healthy fish in the 45-46 inch range. Including one
double header.. Lokes and small gotchas seemed to be
the bait of choice in St Lawenrence and crackle frog
color.. Planner boards 2oz-30ft and 10oz-10ft on a
downrod was the best setups.. Good Luck and catch a
big one..Captain Craig (www.heatwavecharters.com)

I operate Heat Wave
Musky Charters on lake St. Clair in Michigan
and have used
Terry`s gotcha baits for several
years. Over this time I have boated
hundreds of
muskies including some real hogs on these
baits. I have been most pleased
with the
lures quality and dependability.
Everyone has there old faithfuls that they
turn to
when fishing gets tough.. I promise you that
a gotcha bait is one of my old
faithfuls, and is in the water on my
charters. Bottom line is if I don`t catch
fish
I lose business. These baits see plenty of
run time on my boat because THEY WORK..
