Steve-Bream-Fishing 4 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Mine came from a combination of work and fishing ;D. When I got back into fishing after many many years lay off I got some of these things called 'lures' So I looked on the net to find out forums to learn more about these 'lures', when I stated on forums one night at work where everyone used to comment on how 'hard' I worked :icon_lol: I saw an add for Lazerlures, and I thought 'Lazerlures' how about 'Lazylures'....'Lazylure' 'thats my user name' ;D and its stuck ever since.

catch-nun 2 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 mine is because it is what I normally catch.starting to improve a little, but sometimes when relaxing on the murray, I hope that nothing takes my bait. I would have to get up and remove the fish and re-bait. tooo much effort sometimes.pellipeeli 13, click on Profile at the top of this page and then click on Account Related Settings.change your name there.you will still have to use pellipeeli 13 to log-in, but your changed name will show up.
