will do the muskie dance if I have to

 

that's what I want to hear . I have one buddy I get out with once or twice a season who likes to sing to the muskies. If I could have him crooning up front and you swooning in the back the fish won't be able to resist!

Awesome way to end the season for you!

Nice way to herald the noise of augers.

I'm guessing over 5 lbs...and that's a lot of smoked muskie fish sandwiches for ice fishing.

 

NICE GOING....you couldn't have ended the season on a better note....

Team work is best!

Must be in the high 40's range, real nice.

I wondered if anyone took advantage of the later musky season in Kawarthas now.

That is pretty hardcore fishing

I did get out on Balsam two weeks ago (nov. 25th) with a Muskie Canada buddy. Fished all day, trolling most of the time. My buddy caught a small one (23") when we stopped to cast for a bit.

I didn't see any trailers at the Nogies creek ramp(Pigeon) on the Saturday when I drove by.

This is the first year that I have. Usually by late October I get the boat to the Niagara area and fish the upper river a few times before Dec 15. The past few years have been really lousy on the upper so this year I decided just to keep the boat here instead. I don't regret the decision! Doing it this way got me out to Kawarthas probably 3 extra times. Early November we got 2 (38'ish, 45), mid november was a skunking, early december we got this one plus the "one that got away". My 3 or 4 trips that I would have done in Niagara likely would not have been as good (based on how lousy we did in the past - 1 fish in 3 trips last year, 1 fish in 4 trips the year before - both mid 30's fish but chunky - they are heavier down there)

I remember back 6-8 yrs. ago there was Niagara River get-togethers where not much was ever caught but you caught a real nice little tiger musky at the time. With the Kawarthas now being open later it should be easier to put 'skis in the boat.

[Rizzo]

wow good memory ehg. I'll see if I can track down the picture later tonight. Gorgeous little fish. I know for years when we'd get together nobody got a dang thing, and finally one year 2 or 3 got caught, I think Adam got a 50? Then there was the year Wayne had to launch his giant boat first to break the ice at the marina. Either way, a 30% success rate was too depressing for me so I took the year off from Niagara. 10 years ago I used to do pretty good down there, but the last 4 or 5 haven't been good
