genec Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 One of my daughters lives on a small lake in southern New Brunswick. The lake contains chain pickerel and, supposedly, trout in the deeper water. She had a very rough year last year dealing with breast cancer and the associated tough treatment regime, and was using fishing as a mental morale booster. Last year I made her a bunch of harness style lures with either 1 or 2 single snelled hooks, fluoro line, beads, and Colorado blades to use for the chain pickerel, which she can catch right from their dock. This year I decided to make her some in-line spinners to use - photo shows the set I made for her. smerchly, fishingking, Port_D_Guy and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genec Posted March 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 Sorry, no. Just for myself and some family members. Easy to make your own - I just got the in-line spinner kit from luremaking.com Only takes about 2 minutes per lure. Tyler0420 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted March 28, 2023 Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 Nice work Gene , you have every colour in the book to cover all water conditions . I have never caught a chain pickeral . I fished near Truro catching small trout with worms but didn't have enough time to target other species. I make my own worm harnesses and as you said it only takes a few minutes to do . I hope your daughter is doing well and has a complete recovery . I will be helping my sis again this week as she gets her first chemo treatment ...

genec Posted March 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 Thanks Bill. I catch a few of the pickerel right from her dock each time we visit - nothing real big though, usually the biggest is about 20 inches or so. Still, fun to catch. smerchly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
