Great report! Thats a nice 47"er for sure. I especially like the release shot! In the future when targeting Muskies please consider using heavier gear, the fight might be more fun on light tackle but Muskie are really suscepible to being over-stressed from a prolonged fight, particularly in summer when the water temperatures are high. They're chances of survival are much greater when quickly netted and released! Again, congrats on your first Muskie!

If I were you i'd go fish the Ottawa River, some BIG donkey Muskies there!

Nice Chinook! Seems early for Pier fishin!

Lowrance X-135. Go to Bass Pro and you can check out many finders...

Thats a crazy Muskie fishing story Jamie!

Welcome to OFC, nice report! Next time we want to see pics!

If your after a big Muskie Balsam is the place, but as stated Emily is more sheltered/smaller water... Here's two fall Muskies from Balsam..

Nice Bass Rich, whats with takin' pics of Sunfish?

Port Colborne marine deals Sylvan. Don't buy a Tracker. Lots of nice Trailer parks in the Kawarthas... Lund or Alumacraft!

Nice report! Thanks for sharing!

Nice colours on that little guy!

Those are hawgs!

Looking good Gerritt!

There are 3 basic types of Muskie rods, Bucktail,Jerkbait and trolling. If you're just getting started you can use one rod for everything...A good bet for a do everything rod would be a Shimano Compre 7 foot 1-3 oz. Buctail rods are typical 7 1/2 to 8 feet with a lure rating of 1-3 oz. Jerkbait rods are generally shorter, about 6-7 feet, with a lure weight rating of 2-5 oz. For trolling a glass composite rod in whatever length you prefer with a lure weight rating anywhere from 2-8 oz.

Try at the mouth of the Kipawa River.

Not sure if its the same on the north shore, but down here its 300 fow, 40-60 feet down. And the Fleas are BADDD!!!

Great report, as usual, thanks for sharing!

WELCOME

Wow, great report! You sure boated some nice Muskies!

Wherever there is a lock there is a Dam...Fish below them...Moving water = FISH

My Muskie fishing pardner has been known to create some pretty "Noxious gases" from time to time!

Looks like you did OK to me! Nice Horizontal hold on the Muskie And a nice release shot!

Its called Lymphosarcoma. I think I have the spelling correct.

Who cares! Nothing worse than an idiot tearing around the lake at 100mph...

I have the same one as in your pic for my Lowrance LMS-332C and it works awesome, I was unsure about getting one but i'm glad I did!
