How Did Your Muskie Season End?

[Handlebarz]

Well things are great its tuesday the alarm goes off at 2am I'm up and outta bed heading off to work to get a early day in (I usually start at 5am) I make it back to the yard before noon and head home I just bought 2 new tires put them on and head off to Belle River to meet up with a friend 10min to go I can feel the rod in my hand already the weather is great and I know from the satellite pics that the water is lookin awsome then it happens the thing we all think will not happen to me I'm in the same boat Squid was and others have talked about on here I blow a bearing in the trailer what the Well I call Steve and tell him the bad news I was lucky Fisheye lives right around the corner so I limp the boat there but can not fix it till the next day

 

well I look to the bright side thursday is gonna be another great day so I look ahead and fix the trailer with Paul on Wensday great ready to go for Thursday well I wane up Thursday morning thinking I woke before the alarm I take a look through my still asleep eyes to see its 5am and Iam late for work Well with this delay I will not make it home in time to get out fishing that sucked.

 

So today I figure that I will get my daughter from school then go cast from shore for one last night I know we can still get them there but I notice something is wrong on the drive from my work to home LONDON SUCKS I think to my self or maybe I yelled it out they had opened the dam now the river is up by 2 feet and flowing thanks from the great end of my season I think. thanks for reading my rant.

 

On the bright side there is only 6 months till season opener

I went out yesterday with muskiematt and I managed to catch one on the smaller side of the scale. At least it's nice to end the Ontario fishing season without a skunk.

Dang Mike, this just wasn't your week bud and sorry to hear all your plans fell thru like that

 

Pete & I tried to get down to see you a couple weeks back but got shut down by the high winds and dirty water.

 

Let's hope things turn out better next fall

Mine ended a couple weeks back.... This picture pretty much made my mind up for me.

 

 

A buddy of mine was out yesterday and caught one of them silly looking green toothy critters Lew...you know the ones...HA HA HA HA

 

Here's looking at next year!!!

Same here Eh,

 

I was hoping to get out yesterday and with any luck today as well.

 

Well, I got back a "little" late from the Hamilton MCI meeting (2:30 AM). But, I had also a painter lined up for a job on Thurs AM. Wednesday, I got called away from the drywall job to snake a clogged line. So... after the MCI meeting, I go and finish the drywall (4 AM). By now, I am burnt out, Thursday is a bust for fishing. On my way home from Hamilton, I get a whining noise from the rear end of the truck.

 

Today was spent getting new pinion bearings in the rear axle of the truck! I would have much rather the bearings on the boat trailer go! LOL

 

Well, boat is going in storage Sat, muskie gear will be put away tonight.

 

On the up side, I had a great season, got to fish a lot of new water, some of it will see me again next year, some of it won't.

I saw a couple ... does that count ? Totally skunked this year.

[SlowPoke]

I can't complain!

I wouldn't have had a muskie season if it wasn't for you and Steve.

Thanks again!

[Rizzo]

it was a good season for me until late fall on the upper where I proceeded to get skunked 3 trips in a row

[Crazyhook]

not Done yet!

Barely began my muskie season before it ended - fished muskie a total of 3 times only one landed fell short of 40"

the majority of my season this year was spent on salmon & 'eyes - had a couple fall muskie trips planned, but bad weather made me fall back on plans b & c

 

only about half a year till muskie opens
