I am launching at St. Jean is there a fishing store that stocks muskey baits in that area?

The closest one is probably going to be Lakeside Fishing in St. Clair Shores. There are a couple of bait dealers closer but I have not seen much in the way of Muskie lures/baits in those stores.

Sly, I think Jackie has some there, but if she doesnt, she will get some in there. She tries to stock what people want........

Yeah,she has some. And the thing I like about Jackie is that she only seems to stock what works for us in this area. The more popular items,I mean. She doesn't carry a bunch of stuff that really won't work.
She had yet to get in the latest Rapala colors,and I can't seem to find them anywhere. I'm refering to the hot color you guys were showing off with all the bite marks. Gotta get some of those!!:SHOCKED::evilsmile

Yep, thats what she knows best, her Customers. She HAD all the new colors, but probably sold out......they went fast. As far as the hot color that Houghton laker showed off, that is a CUSTOM color. There are guys around the area that paint customs that you will NEVER see in stores. Lakeside carries a few Customs, but they are the only ones that i know of that do.

Curt gave me some insight on the "customs"!!! MY MAN,CURT!!!:lol::evilsmile

Chris when I went there she was unaware of the new colors.
I think maybe you bought last years bleeding series.
What colors did you pick up from her?
But I could be wrong. ;)

Maybe they were!!! I thought when they had "NEW" on the box, they are new.
Not sure of the names, but yellow perch was one, chart. bleeding, shad bleeding, and that was about it. The last email i got from Rapala, it still shows those as new i think...What are some of the new color names????

Last year they came out with:
bleeding copper flash
bleeding olive flash
bleeding hot olive
bleeding pearl

This year was:
bleeding chartreuse shad
bleeding blue shad
bleeding natural shad
yellow perch

All of the boxes say new from this year and last
but she is 70 cents cheaper on the #11's then Lakeside.

I'm not disagreeing with you (I would never do that :D) that you bought them there, but she seemed confused about it the next day. :confused:

I've yet to see the new floaters anywhere on the internet but here they are in a different model:

Dumb question but since I am following your posts are you talking about Rapala Minnow raps and since it divers 5-11 feet are you guys trolling with it or handlining?

[MUSHY1]

I got all of the new colors from THIS year from jackie except the NEW yellow perch, and i got that from Lakeside. No, i stand corrected, I dont have the Bleeding Blue one either......they didnt have it.....I got one of each size... See what happens when you tell the WWW about a place that has Raps......:rant: I still eating my words.....oh well!!!!!

The reason why Jackie was so frazzled, is because i saw her last night before you were there and converted her back to loving BIG men......:lol::lol: Hey what can i say.......:yikes::yikes:

We are talking about the new "floating colors".
I posted the link for the Minnow raps just to show the new colors.
I have yet to find anyone selling the new floaters on the internet.
