LucG Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Well once again I couldnt find myself a fishing partner on a rainy Saturday morning, so I headed out on my own. It didnt seem like the kind of day that the bass would be too active, so I decided to target some pike. The water on this waterbody was really merky and stained. So I used a bright chartreuse spinnerbait and stuck with it all day. Right from the beginning I was on fish. Must have caught over a dozen tiny hammer handles within the first 30 min. Having been convinced that the pike might be active, I headed to one of my better spots that seemed to hold bigger fish. The conditions were perfect. The moderate breeze was pushing current/baitfish through a channel right onto a submerged cabbage flat. I ended up fishing there the rest of the morning as the fishing was great. Here are a few of the better fish (28" range) and a surprise smallie as well. Early afternoon my brother calls me and asks if I want to go fishing. He convinces me to go pick him up at the dock. As I'm waiting for him to show up, I through a few casts at a near by weedbed that I usually pass up as its too close to the launch. BAM! Hooked onto my PB muskie! Didnt measure her, but I guess around 36". Didnt catch another fish all day, but it didnt bother me one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Caster Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Sweet musky Luc!!! I was actually going to message you on Saturday morning to see if you wanted to fish the evening for walleye..... I decided not to for unknown reasons. We should swap numbers. Plus you have that nice, non-canoe boat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
