Location: Moses Lake, WA | Nearly a year since I last built lures but I'm finally back at it. First lure is a 7" Mike Richardson blank I got years ago when I first started painting, through wired resin body. Second lure is a 12" wood lure with internal rattle chamber and plastic lip.

| Really nice, as always. How did your Alaska fishing trip go? You had posted you were hoping to use some of your lures on that trip. |

Location: Moses Lake, WA | Alaska was a bit of a disappointment. We were hoping to "fish deep" out in 1200-1500 feet of water but that spot is 16 miles offshore and requires calm winds in order to achieve boat control. Unfortunately we had strong winds all 5 days we fished and never got to go out deep. Tried the lures in shallower water and caught a couple of small lingcod but nothing big enough to take a picture of. I also decided after 27 straight years of fishing in Alaska that I was going to call it quits and just fish locally for walleye. Gave the 6 lures I shipped to several boat captains with hopes that they would give them a shot under better conditions. |
