Eagle Lake Outing, New Athens Strip Mine 17 July, 2010 On 17 July the Shawnee Muskie Hunters met at the Peabody River State Fish and Wildlife area near New Athens IL for a friendly get-together. Among the activities planned were a cookout, lure-swap and lure demo. John Wright did an exceptional job cooking up hamburgers and hotdogs. After everyone got their fill, Walt Krause gave a demonstration on how to remove hooks in the event anyone found themselves attached to a musky lure. Walt was able to describe his recent incident where he was injures with multiple hooks after being hit with a bait by a client. Walt demonstrated the proper techniques to remove a hook using a very inexpensive hook remover that is available at Bass Pro Shops or Cabela’s. After the demo, everyone headed to one of the lakes for a lure demonstration. Walt Krause answered numerous questions about baits and was able to demonstrate how to work to properly work specific lures that people had questions on. Jim Beaty also chipped in by showing everyone his guaranteed method on how to work a Hell Hound. Everyone was given a chance to practice their technique and try multiple rod / reel and lure combinations. A good time was had by all. |
