I was fishing last Saturday 3 miles NW of Northbass Island in lake Erie for walleye, when I found a musky lure floating in the lake. I turned around and went back and picked it up. I will try to attach pic's of it. I would like to ID the lure maker. It's a custom made lure with a signature on the underside of it. I tried to post pics, no luck. it's about 8 inches long, carved out of wood. over all a brown color, with dots . it has a metal dive plane on the front. 2 big treble hooks. It has a white belly with initials in black on it. the initials are what looks like a capital P above an R, the lag of the p comes down and crosses the leg of the, making the front leg of the R. There is the number 20 right below. I'm sure it the year it was made.

Looks like a homemade lure.  Probably work for the Lake Erie walleyes also.

Very cool, probably floated down from St.Clair.
