I was hoping they would make it to the top of the bottom third of the league!!!
This is way better than expected whatever happens between now and the end of the regular season.
No they aren't but the regular price on the squids is cheap @ $1.99 a piece.
$3.99 for the 12 1/2" ones if you want to go that big.

Rigged up a couple of my big squids. Need more weights and hooks to finish the batch off. One's 9.5" and the other is 7.5". 1 1/4 oz bell weight with the wire removed in the 9.5 and 3/4 oz egg in the 7.5. 40# flouro leader.
Yup.
The big squids are good for troots.
You stick an egg sinker in the head and run your leader through it.
Slide a crimp on your leader and then tie on a hook.
Crimp the crimp to stop the hook from sliding all the way to the sinker and jig or troll away.
A couple of weeks ago Basspro had a bunch of good saltwater baits on sale that will work great for our lakers up here.
The order came in yesterday.
Behold it in all it's glory!!!!
Got the last of the roofing and siding out to the cabin today. All the heavy lifting is done for now. Just a light load next weekend and then it's chill until ice out. Total weight hauled out this spring, 22,000#'s of back breaking work.
I take the load to within 1/2km of the cabin (the road runs up the middle of my bay) and I sled from the ice road to the cabin.
My cabin is at the North end of the lake 14kms from the access.
Light blue line is the ice road and red X is my cabin.
PS plenty of ice as it's over 4 feet thick.
Even if I could park right at the shore I would still have to sled it up to the cabin.
It's 200' back from the water and gains over 100' of elevation.
I've carried to much heavy crap up that hill in summer.
Not gonna do it in the winter.
