Lure trees are one of the ways I describe in my book. Nice finds.

This was my best day ever. I found all of these in one day. All the various components of the system came together at the same time.

Someone asked me if I am still out finding lures. The short answer is yes. I go out at least once a week and sometimes more. There are lures out there just for the picking guys.

I'm still watching and enjoying your post. I haven't done the lure picking thing for a while now. When Im by the river though I'm always looking.

I used to do a little lure hunting at a local lake. Finding those colorful little fish-getters was a great way to get out and spend some quiet times on the shorelines. [Linked Image]

When my daughter was working for the DNR she was doing eagle research. They would climb the trees and check out the nests. Those nests were full of fishing lures. A fish would get caught break the line and end up dying and the eagles would take them up into their nests. I got lots of very nice lures.

When I was a kid, I was heart broke when I lost my very favorite bobber, several years later I found it floating at another lake, miles away!

Over the years I've found quite a number of metal lures such as daredevils, doctor spoons, red eyes, etc. while metal detecting in the water.

That is my way of thinking. People who trap could earn / save hundreds of dollars a year by picking up lures. It also gives you a real clear idea of what fur bearers are in the area.
