Muskrat Report (video)

We made a trip up to Cobden for our maiden voyage of the season and what a beautiful day it was
on the water. The fishing was a little slow but we did manage to go 2 for 5 with one decent fish
weighing 9.3lb, seen a half dozen other boats out there which was surprising but I would imagine most guys went to Quinte for the opener.
We launched the boat shortly before 6am and headed out from the launch to the first section of the lake that had deep water, i,ve only fished this lake
once before and don't know it to well. I set up the first rigger 27ft down over 100ft and started setting up the second rigger and bam it goes off, I grabbed the
rod and it was pounding pretty good and handed it to my buddy which was a mistake we got slack in the line and lost it. We went the next two and a half hours with out a hit
but at 8:40 we had our second hit which we landed. The water temp was 46f when we got out there but by nine it hit 50f and the fish turned on. We found an active school and
shortened up our troll which paid off. Here is a video and a few pics.
