This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

The Days Muskie Outing (and a few new PB's)

Post by steve-hamilton »

:o


We had planned to head out Yesterday for a little muskie outing, but do to hurricane winds, we decided to put it off until today....glad we did.

Trolling from Sunrise to Sunset, we topped three personal bests....

Sometimes it just pays to get up at 2:30am and hit the road for a day trip....three hours from now, that'll be 24 hours straight! (you still awake dave? course you are!)

Here's some pics for ya...

Good Morning...
Image

A Nice thing to start off with (a few hours in of course...)
Image

A New personal best. 41" x 17"
Image

See ya...
Image

Daves Turn. His personal Best. 42" x 17"
Image

And another smooth release...
Image

One one of our passes, i got a hard thud....too hard....snag....but what do i bring up with the snag? Another Lure!!! ;D

Image

Next Pass. Same Snag Spot. Same Snag....Nope, this time it moved....uh oh. ;)

A New Personal Best: 47" x 24"
Image

Took a little while, but she revived nicely, and swam away strong. ;D

Image

(could this day get any better? Sure it could, dave could get another fish!)
Image

Nice simple release right?
Image

Nope.
Image
Look at the smile on that mans face!!!!!

Nothing a little first aid can't handle.....
Image

And that ends the best day of Muskie fishing of my life....
