I'm heading out Saturday to a lake known to have some big Rockbass.  I catch them trolling for northerns.

Mine came yesterday. Very well packed and in great condition.  Beautiful decoy.  The picture below is of decoys my father made back in the 50's and 60's.  He used up a lot of them (he would use a fish line until it parted so many times there were more knots than line) when they settled to the bottom of a lake or got carried off by a big northern. The second picture is my dad 55 years ago with a couple northerns that fell victim to his hand carved decoys.

Beautiful decoy.  Almost hate to use it but I will.  Hopefully the pike like it as much as I do.  Thank you corny

Anything that is free is worth saving up for.

  I got my  Rock Bass decoy yesterday.   The postman was sending me notes about picking up my package from the lock box but did not leave me the key.  He finally realized it on Monday and brought it to my door.   Thanks Corny13.  I think it will look better next to the traveling trophy I plan on winning next year than Wyofish's barbie dolls collection.   :happy1: :happy1:
