Big Dog
Greetings from Baymen Charters, Capt. Dave and Big Dog!
Big Dog and I are taking a walk on the beach before returning to the vice. I am in the middle of a fly tying marathon, with about 70 more Baymen Universals to go before I am caught up on orders. I am shipping out flies locally and around the country and looking forward to hearing some great fishing stories involving my Baymen Universal.
In addition to tying Production Baymen Universals and Custom Baymen Universals, I have added a Baymen Ray’s Fly pattern this winter. Ray invented and tied one of the best striped bass patterns in the business many years ago and I have fished his Ray’s Fly off and on for many years. They are simple, sparse, and fairly quick to tie (unlike my Baymen Universal) and they catch fish like crazy! My Baymen Ray’s Fly is tied much thicker than a true Ray’s fly, but it is all tied on top of the hook shank in the spirit of the late Ray Bondorew. If you don’t have his book, Stripers & Streamers, it will be one of the nicest little books you will ever purchased. Trust me.
OTHER NEWS – I am at work on my Youtube channel, Baymen Charters, with a new fishing show called Baymen Fishing With Your Host & Guide, Capt. David Bitters. I still have aways to go and it is a TON of work scripting, filming, editing, etc. But I am not getting any younger, and I have a passion for sharing the outdoor world with others and what I have learned over a lifetime of fishing, and what I am still learning every day on the water. I will keep you posted when the official launch gets closer. In the meantime, I am posting some video content on my channel. Check it out, subscribe and hit the like button at Baymen Charters.
Well, time to get back to the vice. I love creating baitfish imitations and helping my clients and friends hook into fish. As a guide for the past 29 years, I can tell you it is such a thrill for me to put you on the fish and watching you hook up!
Tight Lines & wishing you a great day from Baymen Land!
Sincerely,
