Thanks John,
Got'em. Gotta show Joe these. He saw the Pics of the last ones you
emailed me. All I gotta say is very nice!!! Now all I gotta do is get it
out there and catch some fish. Oh and Joe caught a 130 lb ahi a couple
of days ago on live bait. Porpoise school Ahi are kinda finicky so he
caught this one at the buoy. Thanks again!

Hey John,
cant thank you enough for sending me the Line guard , for your jigs.
That is exactly the stuff I was looking for. Perfect O.D with a large
inside Diameter to handle the larger mono leaders... I will go direct if
I need more in the future, to save you the hassle. Thanks again for your
troubles,, your one of a kind John. And your work is second to none.
More later now I have to get rigging , for another trip soon for the
longfins and stripers. Also the Channel Islands Billfish tournament this
month.

Aloha John,
My brother and I caught a 450LB (official 449.5 LB) Black Marlin
yesterday on the Big fish head lure. We fought it for 5 hours and 15
minutes. Took the boat 26 miles off the coast. we hooked up about 1 mile
of shore. It was a perfect hook-up and the rigging held together great.
I do not have any pictures yet but two of us had your tee shirts on and
I got a few with your logo showing. I will send you some when I get
them.
Thanks again and again.

Hey, thanks for my order of the lures, they crushed the fish. They out
perform all other lures. Here is my next order, mix and match as you see
fit, you can do no wrong with your lures. Take care and keep up the good
work.

Hi John:
Well, I decided I want to order two 7” Fishhead Bullet lures, same
color head and skirts as the last one you sold me. No rush to make or
ship these out. Just let me know total cost with priority mail and I’ll
send a check. Thanks again for prompt response, excellent service and
kick-ass lures.

| Got 'em! Definitely worth the wait. They
look real good........and thanks for the skirts (and the shirt). I
remember not too long ago when I was interested in different kine skirts
come springtime :) You have the eye of an artist for sure. Can't wait to
drag 'em around.

John,
Yesterday around 2:30 pm the crew landed a 94 pound ahi on one of your
big bird jumper lures. The head was a dark almost black purple and two
dark skirts with some glitter mixed in. I would like to mail the lure
back to you and have you make six additional lures. Can do? Please
e-mail me with your ok.
Thanks.
Scott Bergstrom. |
John,
I just received the order of lure heads and they look fantastic. I'm
anxious to try them out. Everyone I have talked too has said you make
some of the finest lures.
Thanks Again.

I caught a Great fish, Last week I put a 140 pound Marlin in
the boat and hooked up two others Got to watch them both jump they
were in the 2 to 3 hundred pound class of fish. All three were on
the slant bird fish heads ! So I have (that makes 4 Marlin in the
boat and seven hook ups in the last two months) Caught fish
540lbs, 150lbs, 140lbs 135lbs all on that lure!
Hey check this out...my brother and I caught this fish 29
May 2003 540 LBS Blue Marlin. Caught on the Bird Slanthead Kona
you just tied up for me. It was just the two of us and it took one
hour to land the fish (Bill Hooked) and 1/2 hour to get it in the
boat both of us were exhausted by the end. We were using a cust 50
-80 lbs 5' rod and a Penn 12/0 reel it almost spooled the reel
twice. Thank you for the great lure. Later Bra.

Hi ,After another weekend of chasing
marlin, one of your lures we purchased, again has had a hard time. Over
a number of trips, a large amount of hits ,the landing of a marlin
(today) it finally succumbed to the second marlin of the day, meters
away from the boat. I would like to get a replacement if possible. a
Kona slant lure, exotic sea snail mother of pearl. This has been the
hottest lure we have ran all season, with this season being the best on
record since 1953. PLEASE CAN WE GET A REPLACEMENT. Many thanks

kailuabeach0321. You might recognize the boat. I like your
lures, they seem to work the best. so now I have to add some to my
collection. Slowly. We were using this same one that I am bidding
on on ebay and it got broken off and lost with what I think was a
big AHI. It screamed our pole straight down so fast the reel
nested up and the line broke. Thanks my man. |

| Hi, I missed raising my bid I was selling
a camper. I sell RVs, This time of year you don't pass your turn for
anything. Your lure caugth one of the weighable fish at this years
Bisbee, AWSOME. The team that I fished and won the W.O.N. Los Cabos
Jackpot Tuna Tournament 2003. #123 157.8 not a huge fish but worth
105,640.00. Anyway My father-inlaw is fishing at the end of Feb. . This
lure looks like It could hookup with something that might put the hurt
on him. Are you putting it up again or would you take the price it went
off for if I buy 2. This one and the one with "your choice of
heads. Let me know. Thanks , Mike |
Hi guys,
Our season's just starting over here, but we picked up 4 bigeyes, 92 lbs
to 136 lbs, last Saturday, all on Bird's scoopface lures. I'd been
running two of them long rigger just in case a white marlin showed up
when all of a sudden, they both got bit. We got both fish to the boat,
trolled back over the area again, and doubled up again. This time one
fish got off, but we got a fourth one an hour later. Not bad for an
afternoon's work, eh? The best part of the trip was the 115" blue
marlin that ate one of the '360' jetheads with the purple skirts Bird
sent out. Good thing I put a 9/0 hook into it. It was stuck firmly in
the upper jaw. Took us 1 1/2 hrs to get the fish boatside for a release.
No idea where that came from or why it hit the smallest lure in the
spread, but we ain't complaining.

Sorry it took me a while but our computer is been down. I just want to
tell you that we are very satisfied with the lures we bought from you.
The lures you made are affordable but also very effective in the water, you're
able to get the items to us in a short time and that is also very
satisfying. I'll be sending some pictures soon. also will be ordering
again, till I hear from you, thanks again.

Aloha John:
I just got back from the Bisbees 2-day offshore circuit tournament in
Cabo San Lucas. It is a warm-up for the Bisbees Black & Blue.
Anyhow, 41 teams competing over two days, only a total of 9 blue &
black marlin caught with only 1 qualifier. I did catch one of the 9,
just not the winner. It was a 250 lb blue that hit my Hawaiian Sealures
Albatross lure in the Petrolero-like color on the long rigger. Thought
you would be interested to hear that.

As you can see the camera arrived late, half
peeled skin but you sure can see a happy crew I am the one in the
yellow shirt W. YOUR LURE IN MY RT. HAND, but my wife was the one
that fought the fish and land it, she is a 2 times winner of the
marlin light tackle tournament, overall men and women in PUERTO
RICO, but this is her biggest BLUE EVER. THANKS A LOT FOR THIS
HAPPY MOMENT WILL BE A LONG LASTING MEMORY.!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

I had never met nor talked to John Miner
before until 1 week before the 2003 Mississippi Gulf Coast Billfish
Classic. I saw him and on the internet and called him up to
see if he could make me a few new lures before the tournament
started. He wasn't real sure he could have them ready and shipped
from Hawaii to Mississippi in time, but the 4 lures got to Biloxi
before I did. Not only did he go out of his way to get them to me
on time, but they looked and pulled great even in 10-12 foot seas.
Fishing was slow, but 4 out of 5 fish we caught were all on his lures.

I tell ya, I've been in the Charter business over 25 years on Kauai with
my business, Sport Fishing Kauai. I've fished years in Mexico and The
Virgin Islands. Throughout these years I've accumulate hundreds of lures
from the finest lure makers in the world! Certain lures in my
collection, I consider my "old faithfuls" and I tell ya,
little by little these Hawaiiansealures are taking the place of the old
faithfuls! This April I caught the largest Strip Marlin in all my years
of fishing on one of your lures! These lures are amazing! I also
consider Hawaiiansealures tops on My List!
