Caught this bass with the Mepps spinner.

Thought there was something like a Flatfish called a Lazy Ike but maybe I just dreamed that one up?

Yes the Lazy Ike!!! Pike in Canada loved them!

I was a huge Mepps fan as a kid.....trying to get as many master angler fish as possible!

[bbfrogger]

Silver and black floating Rapala, june bug spinner, and hula popper for me.  My dad loved flatfish and my grandfather mirro lures - I never caught squat on either of them.  I still pull them out from time to time and still nothing - but I'm not very patient fishing with them either.  :-).

[FrankM]

Mepps, Panther Martin, Flatfish, Jitterbug, Creek Chub

I don't know what dates, but I have my dad's old tackle box. In it is flat fish, daredevils, hula poppers, jitter bugs, Johnson silver minnows, and mepps spinners.

[Hookset]

Jitterbug and the flatfish on the casting side, good ol' night crawlers or crayfish on the less-involved side

I'm always afraid to use my Dad's stuff because of all the toothy critters where I fish. What really amazes me is how whippy his rods are compared to what I fish with no a days.

[SizeMatters]

Mepps, Doll Fly, Jitterbug, Hula Popper, Marathon Rattlespoon,  Mirrolure, Creme worms, Daredevle, Rapala

[filetandrelease]

 Flukeman I don’t use their rods or reels , just some of their lures for stream trout

[Spider1]

Pre-70 I was fishing Long Island beaches with my uncle. Sitting on the beach long casting, we used dropper rigs with sandworms or squid.

Was fishing on the bottom with a night crawler in the summer for mainly brook trout in a Massachusetts kettle lake from 1968 to 1971 on a military post (former Ft. Devens). Cast to schools of them in the fall with a nitecrawler, kernel corn, or a fly I tied with yellow thread to imitate some kind of larvae that hung from the Oak trees in the fall.

Lures I used back then were the kastmaster, Al's Goldfish spoon, and Mepps spinner for trout , L & S Mirror lure, rapala, Rebel plug, and jitterbug for bass. The bluegill would hit about anything including crank baits for bass Grove's Pond near Ayer.
