Whitemikeca Posted October 5, 2010 Report Posted October 5, 2010 Was out on Pigeon for some fall musky action for a half day on Saturday and then a full day yesterday. The fishing was a little slower than we had hoped but think I have a good pattern planned out for this upcoming weekend. Anyway, here are our results. A little guy that Myphan caught while trolling. It was her first Muskie ever. Its hard to see in the photo but I think it's tail was bitten by another musky during the fight. It stopped fighting really quick and when we pulled it in it's tail was shreaded and bleeding profusly. When I put it back in the water it darted off quick. For some reason I cant get the picture to rotate. I looks fine in photobucket but it flips it when I add the line here. Adam got this guy casting a spinner bait. It hit near the boat and nearly jumped in the boat during the fight. I got this guy casting a shallow raider. For the size he put up a monster fight. I though he was a lot bigger than he ended up being. Got this nice Pigeon brute trolling a believer over my favorate spot on the lake. Great fight. We got a few quick videos catching and releasing the last muskie using the iphone. A little bit of the fight The release We caught one more muskie (around 40") but the picture was taken with another camera. I will try and get it and update the post.

addy79 Posted October 5, 2010 Report Posted October 5, 2010 Great report Mike You always find the 'skies! Thanks for taking us out yesterday, we had a blast!!
muskeybugged Posted October 5, 2010 Report Posted October 5, 2010 At least someone had Kawartha Ski's in the boat....We went 0 for 5 hours on Sunday. Good job, thanks for sharing!!

jimmer Posted October 5, 2010 Report Posted October 5, 2010 I haven't had a muskie day like that on Pigeon in years and I live on the dumb lake. Great job!
Whitemikeca Posted October 5, 2010 Author Report Posted October 5, 2010 At least someone had Kawartha Ski's in the boat....We went 0 for 5 hours on Sunday. Good job, thanks for sharing!! Saturday the conditions were great. We caught three fish in 4 hours. We had to cut the day short but I think we could have gotten a couple more had we stayed another couple hours. Monday the north east wind really threw us off. My normal tactics/areas seemed dead. Luckly we changed things up, slowed down and caught two fish and had another lost fish right by the boat towards the end of the day. Hopefully what I learned this weekend will help me out next weekend!
Shaun Rickard Posted October 5, 2010 Report Posted October 5, 2010 Very nice fish guys... good shootin! I'm quite jealous lol! Cheers, Shaun

camillj Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 Wow .. fabulous day on the water ! Thanks for sharing.
knightfisher Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 Great job on the muskies. Love this lake and the fish it holds.
ehg Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 Was up there Saturday as well and didn't get a sniff, buddy got a big walleye though and had a few muskies on. Looks like a great day for nice muskies pour vous.
Whitemikeca Posted October 6, 2010 Author Report Posted October 6, 2010 Thanks guys. I am heading up again this Friday. I have never really fished the North East end of the lake so I think I am going to try it this weekend. Looking at the GPS, there looks to be plenty of nice rock humps, shelves and shoals there which tend to be my fav types of spots. Hopefully it works out and I can post another report. Mike
lew Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 Just pay attention and be careful up in that north east corner Mike as some of those rocks are hidden just under the surface. Best of luck with the muskies when you get up there.

Best of luck with the muskies when you get up there. Thanks for the heads up Lew. I have a navionics map chip and an old paper chart. Will I be able to see the rocks on these maps our are they not marked? I plan on trolling for about half the day over the 20+ foot areas targeting the 7-10 humps. I just hope there aren't any surprises
