Joey Posted June 5, 2011 Report Posted June 5, 2011 Nice Great that you had the successful boat, and got out with some friends
ehg Posted June 5, 2011 Report Posted June 5, 2011 Nice muskies there! You could catch a huge one there. Even the big ones will hit a bucktail or musky spinnerbait. Thanks for pictures.
Handlebarz Posted June 5, 2011 Report Posted June 5, 2011 Nice going sounds like a great time not much better then that getting out fishing and handing over the cash. Now for next time yours to take back.
lew Posted June 5, 2011 Report Posted June 5, 2011 It's always fun to get a bunch of buds together for a little friendly tourney to keep things interesting. We've done it a few times too and it makes for a great weekend.
mike rousseau Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) I found the tournament aspect of the day helped to give us the drive to fish hard... On musky opener you need all the help your body can get... Casting half pound lures all day (6am-10pm) and bouncing in waves coming off a 30 foot cruiser takes it's toll on the body... I shoulda hit the gym this winter... Shoulder is a bit tender today... Edited June 6, 2011 by Musky Mike
Leecher Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 Great start to the season Mike Always nice to be able to boat a few on opener Thanks for sharing Leechman
Homer Is King Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 The "friendly" fishing tournaments are the best! Always a good time, the bragging rights are worth way more than the money!!! Contrats on a good opener.
JoshS Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 Looks like a good time... A friendly tourny among friends is always a fun way to spice things up and keep people fishing hard!
johnnyb Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 12 follows!! At least you got a couple in the boat...good job
kevin14rox Posted June 8, 2011 Report Posted June 8, 2011 Nice muskies! Fishing in little tournaments like that are always fun
Billy Bob Posted June 8, 2011 Report Posted June 8, 2011 SWEET.... Now come on down here the last week of June and score on the Niagara River around Strawberry Island....
