This is a tale of two lakes. Intertwined lakes, in Barry County, Michigan. Where somehow the water has gone away. Upper and Lower Crooked Lakes, both near and dear to me, are suffering from the lowest water levels I've seen in the 35+ years I've been fishing them.

... mostly cuz i gotta pick up about 600$ worth of rod parts tomorrow and have roughly 10 new builds and 10 repair jobs/upgrades to work on. Also have a shipment of about 80 1/4 oz jigs to powder coat and tie up... probably won't do all of them lol.

anyway - here's what i've been up to,
few baits:



this started out trying to be something... not sure what it ended up as lol



got a deal on 1/2 and 1/4oz spinnerbaits (30c a piece). After i put all the hardware and skirts on them, i bet i'm into them for 4$ a pop each though! wire tied skirts and airbrushed heads

bluegill:


misc:




the whole mess


next pics i post will hopefully be of a pair of sweet trap rods.

What's with the news these days on the TV and the radio. Can't find the truth amongst the lies. Some talking head that claims to live their life in a better way, says I have to compromise. But now there's something on the rise. Truth has opened up my eyes. There's no running from your dirty lies. You can't avoid the truth. I'll no longer close my eyes.

i don't know... is there a market for 10$ spinnerbaits? ;D ;D ;D

Do they do tricks?

MadWags

Sure. I'll take two. One willow leaf white head and skirt. One calorado or indiana white head with white/chartuese skirt. A few strands of red would be nice too.
