lew Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 My daughter and I headed over to Pigeon for a few hours today looking for a musky or 2 but never found any this time around. We hit up all our usual spots and found nothing so we ran down into Upper Buck for an hour but still came up empty. We always have alot of fun together on the water and that's what it's all about. If we get skunked we just say we were out for a boat ride. Like I always say , you don't need to catch a fish to have a great day of fishing. Water temps were in the mid 60's and the weeds are still plentiful, green and healthy. Hi-lite of our day was having a few deer wander down to the waters edge for a drink close to where we were casting and I was able to get a couple pics. Two of them still had their spots so I'm guessing they were just out for a stroll with Mom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Lew you've already caught more than your share of muskies. You had a great day out with Sheri, that's perfect. Are you still getting lots of deer at your house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Don't see too many deer this time of year Roy, but there's loads of them as soon as the snow arrives. Seems like the woods around here are where they all yard up for the winter and then their everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 sounds like a successful day anyways...time with family and see some of nature...i wish my musky days were that good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbuck Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 We went bait fishing today and just jigged on the top end of Big Island. Tomorrow is musky day. As much as I wanted to wash a few lures, I succumbed to peer pressure and jigged for walleye, caught a few but jeez are they ever small.one of our guys tied into a high 40's class fish while pulling a worm harness, the fish broke off boatside. He was devastated, he's a big musky guy from Pittsburgh and didn't want the fish to get away with a mouth full of hooks. Lew, I think I saw you cruising the back end of Big Island in the early afternoon. You were going pretty good. Trolling motor is mounted and works like a charm. Thanks Dax! Defnitely prefer the powerdrive over the all terrain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted September 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Yeah, that was probably us Bruce, we headed south around 1:30 or so. Good luck when you head back out today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT10Sam Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Sounds like someone tipped the muskies that you would be in the area Lew and they shut down, still a great day with family makes up for it and creates memories. That's not like you wearing that white stripe down your back, I don't think you know what a skunk is at all.Lol Just means another day to go and get em.

Harrison Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) Nice deer shots Lew. I was on Upper Buckhorn Sat and Sun this past weekend. 4 musky caught and had one turn the boat 45 degrees after I set the hook on it before slicing my 80lb braid, it was a giant. All fish were caught on main lake weedlines with a vertical presentation. And not on purpose! Edited September 19, 2011 by Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 And not on purpose! Maybe I should take up bass fishing Phil We were only on Upper Buck for an hour or two, from around 1:30 on. Lotsa bass boats running around so I figured there might be a tourney goin on, were you in one of them ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
