Mike down here our Muskie love small baits all year long but this time of year once the water temperature is below 40° i change my program totally I only run 10 inch baits and speeds of 2 miles an hour to 2.8 mile hour max. Don't be afraid to try jigging bulldogs or Bondy Baits they are awesome also I know fish still bite on small stuff like you said 3 1/2 inches but majority of the big fish will eat large slow-moving easy meals as they are only trying to fatten up at this time of year they will not waste a lot Of energy chasing down meal giver Hell there I can't wait for the reports good luck.

Linweir it was a great outing Troutjunky it was dang awesome we had a blast Wayne I'm not sayin I'm just sayin if ya know what I'm sayin now go get that door out of the way. Rod caster it was twice as funny Saturday in reel time just as Brian. Phil even with the flooded boat frozen hull death leap for the shore blown live well lines and no fish it was a great day. I must say I was shocked when the cabin cruiser left because it was to cold out lol I thought they had the heat on full tilt.

Hey Joey has Chris given you my 49" musky? I posted it a couple months ago but it's not been updated yet

Cool to see that cat fish act just like any other cat stalking a bird

Yes I did Phil but I cheated and had my summer gortex pants on to keep me dry. The temps were nice until that N wind kicked into high gear. Phil it was nothing like you and I a few years ago in the pouring rain 40+ mph winds and then blizzard now that was a cold no shorts day

Roy your right I'm sure he was super happy for Pete and I. Thanks Andrew this was by far my best closer. Fishindevil I'm sure he had a good reason to work extra maybe he did not want to watch me catch em all first hand??? Brian I'm sorry to slow you down it was not my fault I blame the musky goddess. Hmmm your boat is still going are you free Saturday? Maybe my closer was not my closer. Rich Dan and Gerritt Lew thanks guys Pete you had better keep that spot a secret I know I will. It was a great day. Good luck next weekend. Spincast I'm sure he was a bunch of colours and changed with each text.

Last Thursday I was mowing my lawn and took a video of it to send my brother in northern Saskatchewan he was not impressed as he has already used his snowblower 18 times and shovelled 8 more times

Yesterday I the chance to get back out on the water with Squid to close out the musky season we met at Subway after making the girl behind the counter blush and then laugh then wonder whats wrong with these two we headed off to Belle River. The weatherman was calling for light NE winds early then changing to N 14MPH then NW 18mph with gusts to 27mph and lots of rain scattered into the mix. we decided to just troll with the top up on the boat (I know hard core pansy musky fishing) well that's what I call it LOL, I started off running the same program we do every year at this time and it paid off very fast as Pete netted the fist musky with in 10 min of starting out nothing huge but I had to take a picture for some one who will remain nameless that was supposed to come out fishing but lets say he was a "slowpoke" getting back from PQ so we had to make it known to him what he was missing. sorry about the blurry pics I forgot my camera bag at home Quick pic and it was off I fire off a text and get back from said member that we are cork soakers I guess he was watching Saturday night live at the time Now we are running again not to long after the same rod goes off Pete does not want it he commented that he was happy catching what bites his line and I could get my own rods so I did quick fight and Pete does another great net job. Here ya go Slowguy we take another pic for ya then text it away this time I am told "Lose my phone number I can not put his last word here" off we go again trolling along I have the same rod go off again but this time I loose the fish so I am nice and tell Slowdriver we lost another one well he thought that was just plain of "GOOD" Im not sure if he was happy for us or just having a nice day driving home from Belleville? I could not answer that text as I was busy watching Pete net my third musky of the day and at 10:35 so I had to send another text Im thinking that said Slowman was not happy with me as he sent me a picture of pouring rain and transports asking if I was jealous? not sure what his point was we had not traffic around us and the rain had stopped. at 11:02 I sent him another text letting his know that we had a slow point of the morning as I just lost 2 and got this one I can not put the last text from Slowsupertrucker but lets say he was very happy for us. I had a awesome day out on the water 4 musky landed 3 got away but we saw them at the boat side all musky went home super fast and ready to eat and fatten up. It was great to have Pete out again but I think he jinxed us as he had said after the third musky I boated he will take my rod if I get 5 musky in the boat well 4 was the limit I guess as they were done. The wind did as the weather man said it would and by noon all other boats left Pete and I were the only ones left fishing in the 1.5' waves with 2-3' footers mixed in we called it a day and maybe my season at 2:15 what a great year I will try and do a recap later. See Brian it was to rough to be out there anyway you made the right choice by working

Awesome year good on ya for getting a bunch of kids out fishing. I sure do miss fishing Sudbury for shore walleye like that. Thanks for the recap.

Years back I was going to buy a flasher but jos at angling outfitters talked me out of it. I bought my Lawrence 522c it is way better IMO as you have real time on the right side and can see what has come up to the left side incase you were looking away. One thing I learned and love was finding walleye 6' off bottom I would have never caught them if I had not had my sonar. You can also use it as a flasher

Great season nice to see another that has a better half that enjoys fishing together.

Great recap Chris. It was nice to meet you this fall.

Nice recap of the year thanks for taking the time posting it

I am another who loves my Beckmann Finn saver net I have landed many musky by myself with it the biggest was 52" it's alot easier then the big kahuna and the small mesh is awesome. If you wait for the muskies Canada odyssey you should find some good deals there I know a bunch of guys who have bought them there. You can also check out all of the different nets to see what is the right one for you. Cost less then $200 I would guess

I loved the winter when I lived in Sudbury but these last few in the SW corner of Ontario have me spoiled and enjoying not shovelling or charging through slush ice freezing rain or snow. I guess I an not ready at all. I do wish for snow East and North of the Chatham area

DANG that's the main forage for a KONG musky. Congrats to your son

I wondered how long it would take to make it here. That sure is a tank. Johnny called it KONG with a gut like that it sure was not called late for dinner.

I'm with muskies Canada

Sounds about right to me

That was a fast read lol. I guess we're back to good old winternet.

Damn I gotta head to bed work will come early tomorrow wish I could stay awake longer. Looking forward to reading this thread at 4am or when I am sitting in my truck.

I had it off for burber but the wife and kid girl in the house turned it up and took remote that is 3 min of my life lost.

Gordo

I'm sure beiber will make the half time well worth a trip to the store to get well anything.

I love to listen to ball games NASCAR NHL on the radio it's even better when you know who they are talking about and use your mind to fill in the pictures. I was not pleased at all with the anthem did he mess up and do a crappy cover up or just that stupid to make changes and add words and leave others out? I am not a sens fan but love to listen to the OPP officer sing it there he should always do it.
