kdatwe Posted August 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Yes! I caught it in Lake Storey here in Galesburg, Illinois, it's our public city lake - you can see the swimming ropes in the background but no one was swimming at the time... he was only around two pounds or so, but made my day. azfisher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdatwe Posted August 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 I know it sounds crazy but I've learned so much making and experimenting with my own lures to get them to do what I want - stuff I'd never attempt with an expensive store bought lure - getting them to swim right, and casting into places I'd be afraid of with expensive stuff- not to mention the musky risk. Also I spend more time on the water with a lure I've made just watching it swim... VolunteerSwimbaits 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
