bigfish1965 Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 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.

Bly Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
