Lac Seul Muskies - Report

[trapshooter]

I managed to squeeze in 3 1/2 more days of muskie fishing in between hunts and the arrival of ice up.

 

Two days were spent 60km up Lac Seul at Chamberlain narrows, which is well regarded as the epicenter of Lac Seul muskie fishing. I was out with fellow guide Greg Marino. This time I was the 'guest' however, as this is Greg's stomping grounds in the fall. The trip didn't disappoint. We had 3 muskies in the boat and one other notable Essox.....

 

Five minutes in on the first day.....

 

 

Next up, Greg gets the big fish of the trip... just over the magical 50" mark.

 

 

One more muskie before we had to go...

 

Now, the other notable Essox was this monster 44" pike. It's the longest, and fattest, pike that I've ever laid eye's on. Greg thought for sure he had another muskie. Good trade!

 

 

With some unseasonably warm weather up here I delayed putting my own boat away in the hopes of getting out on the south east end of the lake. With some high winds I was lucky to squeeze in another day-and-a-half. We put 3 fish in the boat, which was awesome, but nothing over 44".

 

 

My buddy Colin. He was on the inside of a big turn and when his line was tightening back up, this one nailed his 9" Grandma.

 

 

Just as the sun was hitting the tree-tops I landed this guy.

 

 

Not a real big one, but with this picture it deserves another look

 

 

Well.... that's the end of my first full season of muskie fishing on Lac Seul. What a tremendous fishery we've got up here. My muskie addiction already has me counting down the days until the 3rd Saturday in June, 2010!

Skis and gators together!?! Isn't this what has them crying "FOUL!" in Rice Lake? Looks pretty good to me. Next you're going to tell me that there are walleye and bass as well.
