How do the fish know???

[bigfish1965]

So I headed out looking for some walleye in my favourite haunt. I knew there may be some salmon around too, so didn't want to go too lite with the tackle. Since I hadn't used my musky rod since Lakair, I decided to take that.

Tossed on a new deep diving Rapala Slash bait (4" perch) and within half an hour caught a ..... musky. I wonder it thats all you have to do? Tomorrow I'll bring my Tarpon rod to test the theory.

No pics since the fish was smaller ( 30" or so) and and I had cut ALL the trebles off. 4" lure + musky= new damm hooks.

I knew it was an esox right away ( he hit right at the edge of the pier) but couldn't figure out why this pike was jumping all over. Also explains why the walleyes were AWOL.

Hmmmm....So I need to go out and buy a proper musky rod and then fish with it at my favorite walleye spot.....got it!

 

Glad to hear that you got out and even if you didn't catch what you wanted, you caught a nice fish. Oh and if no one else on our team catches a musky....you are in big trouble for not taking a picture LOL

DId I forget to mention Bly is very competive. I still have the scares to prove it , watch yourself Rick!

In that case, I'll be bringing my Grouper and Red Snapper tackle to the BOQ!

That's too funny Rick. Nice job on the muskie.

 

Maybe I should buy a shark rod and go fish Bronte lol.

Good for you. Unfortunately all I seem to be catching on my musky rod is Pike. Maybe I'll go buy a pike rod then
