Green Bay OP trapper G Joined: Dec 2010 Posts: 1,825 Wisconsin	Originally Posted by BernieB. Very cool! I thought I was going to cash a big paycheck in a walleye tournament out of green bay in 2000. I found some good fish in the Fox River not far below the Depere dam, and I was in 19th place out of 250 boats after the first day. A cold front came through on day 2 and moved the fish deeper and I dropped into something like 38th place but still won about $2000 if I remember correctly. First place paid $400,000. Fun place to fish. That is awesome. Fun to make some money while doing something you enjoy. A friend of mine is a guide who also does several walleye tour events. He ends up buying a lot of what I find. Author of The Lure Hunter: A Guide to Finding Fishing Lures

The snag was a sunken tree about 10 inches at the root ball. It was covered in lures. I pulled it as close to shore as I could and was out in the water pulling lures off of it when some dirtbag walks up and starts to try to pull stuff off. Since most of it was in the water, and it was just below neutral buoyancy, I was able to pull it out of his reach and cuss him out.He tried to hand me some sort of BS excuse, but wisely left before he got more than a rusted out jig.

I remember years ago when the salmon run was a big thing on the Muskingum River in Michigan , below the Tippy dam , someone did that at a boat launch . It was on the south side of the river below the Saw dust pile hole . We have met the enemy and the enemy is us!

I have been working on a book which explains how I find them. The book has taken me almost two years to write but it is almost done. I am waiting for the artist to finish the cover. I go down to a local river about twice a week and it is pretty rare not to come back with $30 or $40 of lures. Author of The Lure Hunter: A Guide to Finding Fishing Lures
