Dear Diary,

Need to go fishing ... badly!

Pack up kids and the Misses and off to the Rockland boat launch.
Everyone puts on sun screen except Misses Livewell, blisters to follow.

Head east for a nice long run up to Wendover to check out a stretch I bumped into last year that looked too good to be true.
Kids bored. Promise to take them to park afterwards.
Turns out, spot looked better than it produced, but did mark a bunch of fish, will try again later.

Kids really bored. Big Bass Billy glosses himself the 'Worm King', revealing his invertibrate ring of power. Butter kids up with juice and snacks and promises of the park to come.

Hit one of favorite pike and bass spots on way back to launch. Kids really getting anxious to get off boat and onto swings.
Cast, cast, and cast shallow. 1 x 9" pike.
Move to the other side of boat, and first cast ...

Feel pants burning in anctipation of flames from upset posters about out of season fish. Wish someone could teach musky how to read calendar.
The lure of choice crushed by the giant snake.

Kids scared to death of giant fish, wanna go to park NOW.


Go to park.
Misses Livewell finds some much needed shade.

Well that's it - the white spinnerbait finally caught something worth mentioning...we'll never hear the end of it now! Those big 'uns do seemt o like them though - I caught mine on one.

Nice 'ski all the same.

BTW - your kid's fine, you're the freak .

Great shots Bill. The release shot is a great one.

No luck at your bass spots?

I've been waiting for a classice MT report all spring. I haven't seen anything from Big Bass Billy since cat fishing last year.

Ask Misses Livewell if she'd like her team logo in her sig enlarged?

Hmmm

Still no hits on your Mr.J. special spinner eh!

Please tell me you at least got it wet

Ottawa River - Muskie is still out of season!

Ransome's right, muskies ain't open on the Ottawa yet.

Did not get an actual measurement, but I'm guessing around 50 inches. Set the hook too well (there's a change) to get it out in the water.
Had to bring it in the boat long enough to get the bait out, and it spanned the front of my casting deck.

Quick release and she swam away with a big smile.

Well done

MT ..... Dear diary,

PS, I love my family, I love my white spinnerbaits, I love in season battles with 50 inch muskie and I love sunny days fishing.

The end.

Great report MT, it was beautifully sentimental and from the heart


Nice fish too bud.

Great report and pics MT, .....long live the white spinner bait, ...

If it helps at all, ...tell the misses, ....she has some "glowing" company...

PS ....did you anchor that muskie down good so you can go back and get it opening day?

Nice looking muskie.
