Those binsky's are great for jigging just about anything from the bottom in cold water. Went out with a guide last Novemeber down in VA and fished the Rappahonock and the Potomac sytems. Dropped them in 10 to 30 feet of water and jigged them off the bottom. Caught Large Mouth, Small Mouth, Crappie and even a Carp doing that. I thought the Carp must have been foul hooked but it was right in the corner of his mouth when I finally got him in the boat.

That's a gorgeous lil fish ya got there Skunk.

I agree, it looks like an airbrushed lure. Heck, I'd buy one!

I caught and released a muskellunge in Carnegie Lake this week with a 1/32 oz leadhead jig and 1" twister tail on 2 lb test line. Pic wouldn't load so I'll try a link instead. http://s865.beta.photobucket.com/use...tml?sort=3&o=1

Thats promising....Given enough time and proper handling i would imagine that a musky could grow to a gr8 size in carnegie....I used to fish it ALOT and there is NO shortage of esox food in that place...Biggest slime dart i got there was a couple years ago , two feet from the boat on a jig and pig....Scared the crap outta me as i was'nt expecting it...Bout a 22"er...Nice pic!!
