Decoy Carver near Paynesville

[jigginfool]

Was on my way up to Melrose to pick up a Mike Fabeck spear and stopped at the Hilltop Skelly in Paynesville for gas and picked up a sweet little bluegill decoy. Anybody got an idea who might have carved it? Initials on bottom look like DJG.

Cool thanks fisherking!!

I posted that but didn't know what the JUDE meant

[jigginfool]

Thanks for the replies guys. Just nice to know who carves them. The Hilltop Skelly had quite a collection of them there. With getting the new spear figured I better only get one. Mike Fabeck makes a sweet spear....

BNS, I'll get a picture and get it posted.

Ditto on the google search for Fabeck Spear. Mine is exactly as pictured. It's taking it's maiden voyage this weekend up to Third River on Winnie. Little perchin', little pikein'
