.My budy from toronto had some info on the lake, had some spots marked up on the lake and was told that it has a good population of musky, so we met him there. The day started dark with heavy rain and the wind picked up a bit, but warm. pretty good muskie weather, no? we thought so, but someone forgot to tell the muskie in stoco that. Targeted some bass and pike for a break and managed to get a couple, to make the trip worth while. There was this great weedy bay that was glass cause it was out of the wind. Had some fun on topwater in there, and saw, we think, a musky swimmin around half out of the water, just to add insult to injury.
Anyway, on the drive back we asked ourselves, again, why we travel to target muskies when we are spoiled with a world class fishery is in our back yard. Stubborn I guess ....
ps - if someone happens to catch a muskie there wearing a cheap pair of sunglasses, they're mine. note to self (again): don't put glasses on ball cap

. We tried everything, spinners on top, body baits down low, shallows, deep, fast, slow. We trolled 90% of the time, do you think throwing makes a difference? Marked maybe a handful of big hooks...maybe we just didn't find them. Oh well, thats why they call it fishing!
