Looks like fun, Hutchy! I feel the same way about guiding people. I don't do it because I hate to be responsible for their disappointment and making them pay for it to boot.
I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

Those tube sure do catch fish and like you said easy to fish,I know bucktails are very good,but I like crank baits and jerk baits more and of course top water when it's right for them.Your baits look really nice and they work Water isn't quite warm enough for bucktails here yet. Tubes have a slower glide and side to side walk that is killer right now. My slyder jerkbait has an almost identical action. It seems that fast pull followed by a sideways dart is exactly what they want right now.

There are new world record muskies swimming in our Great Lakes right now and there will be more coming in the future. Huge bodies of water with all types of prey sizes and fatty fish that put on gowth.
Bryce MNR did a musky study here a few years back and netted a 62" fish that they say was record potential. Its those massive pelagic fish that swim around in the big water that are the hardest to find. The kind you might troll for months for a shot at a monster of epic proportions.
