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.

The bottom right lure is or was the go-to lure for ice fishing on Lake Winnipeg

I was down at the river one day and kept getting snags. I knew there were no rocks there so I went home and got into some grubby clothes and went in. 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.

Who even thinks of doing that?Wow!



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 .

It has been awhile since I have posted to this link too. The lures you see here are about half of what I found in August. 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.

I actually do resell them. I clean them up and replace the hooks. I sell most of them for $5.00 which is a really good deal.
