Location: Eastern Ontario | Was thinking about my dad's old muskie tackle , he had 2 lures a Creek Chub Pikey and a Skinner Spoon ( more like a bucktail than a spoon with a feathered treble)
Found this online may be of intrest to some

Check the picture of the woman with the muskie. Or the cataloge where they were $1.25 a dozen. 15 cents each |

| Somewhere, I have one of those style baits. Did not know the name. Caught my first pike on an artificial bait on one of those almost 60 years ago. Had caught them on minnows but not a lure. Caught a few pike on it in 1970 in Canada trolling it with a minnow on my first trip to Canada. |

Location: Eastern Ontario | The thing I find most interesting is I'm not comfortable in less than an 18' deep vee with a main and kicker preferably a full enclosure and heater. The pictures show guys much hardier than me in rowboats in October. Can't imagine it blowing up any less then than now. There's a reason why the Olympic sailing was held in Kingston WIND
