Lee, I'm glad you like the Wiley Kowalski's! Brad,Good Luck on Conesus tonight! Capt. Larry

Most muskie lure mfg's get a lot of store orders in March & April and are very busy. Ordering is best in November & December for fastest turnaround.Other muskie lure mfg's from Ellwood City ,PA sometimes take as long as 12 months to get an order! I know that Dale Wiley does not skip any steps in his proccess of manufactoring to speed any orders out the door,lure bodies are cut from blanks by hand on a lathe,lures must hang with seal coat to dry as long as two weeks,then they are painted with each coating having drying time,finaly the hardware is added,could take three weeks to do one batch of crankbaits! How many batches were ordered before yours and what size crankbaits was he building?He builds by size working to the biggest and then back starting at the smallest.If you missed the smaller size building and he was one size above yours it may be 4 to 5 weeks before he gets back to your size and then another 3 weeks in the whole proccess after that.You will be happy with the final product when they do come! Capt. Larry

Were at 115 Entrants as of May 25th,we need some help from all of you to get 35 more Entrants by June 19th. So everyone try to get some one you know that is not in the Tourney to sign up! Every Entrant from now to the Tourney date of June 19th is $40 directly to the Bait Fish Fund! Thanks, Capt. Larry

I'll up the Plow Auction Offerings! For each of the two Plow Auctions if they go over $100 each I will also give a Legend Perchbait Jr. Jointed Crankbait to each Winner! They are worth $25.95 each! The Bait Fish Fund is growing! Capt. Larry

Guy's your going to let Zach have both of the Plows that easily?

With a heavy heart I had to say goodbye to a very close friend today.Vince Bianchi of Vince's Spinner Shop lost a long battle with cancer and passed this morning.Vince was one of the truely good guy's in this small musky world of ours.He always had time to chat with everyone and anyone on muskies,donated to musky clubs and the Chautauqua Bait Fish Fund with deep pockets. He was a very up lifting personality to be around,totaly positive about life and to those around him. We became very close friends and I'm going to miss Vince being there to talk with and our sharing of musky adventures. My deepest condolances go out to his wife Bonnie & Family! Capt. Larry D. Jones
