nancur373 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) Well now that I figured out how to post pics from my phone here goes. Have a trailer on pigeon lake. Decided to try and give muskie a go on the sunday of opening weekend. My cousin and I got up at 5: 30. Only lure I had was a large black and orange spinner bait. Worked the edges of the floating bogs. Picked up a few oos bass. Drifted over a small pencil reed island and upon exiting the other end I let my lure stop and fall beside the boat to light a smoke and bang fish on. Little guy 28". First ever muskie. Yeah baby. Rubber net, quick pic, measurement and release. No harm and still lots of spunk. 7: 00 am. Drifted over to a floating bog island. First cast into the channel and it exploded on impact. Little bigger, 32", but way stronger. Great fight. Same catch and release as earlier. 8: 0am. Back to the trailer for breakfast at 9: 00 am. Great morning all around.

kickingfrog Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Nice, but don't expect to double up on pbs in 2hours of fishing too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nancur373 Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Thanks guys. Took my 5 year old soon out for a couple hours today for bass. Found myself throwing that same lure again. Couple descent LMB and one muskie follow. Couldn't get her to commit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancur373 Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Oh and just got a few lures from my my neighbor. Top water raider(I think that's what it's called, and a jerk bait. Will try them next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherpete Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Congrats on the skis! Let the addiction begin. I still remember how pumped I was getting my first one back in 2003 (35"). Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancur373 Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Nice, but don't expect to double up on pbs in 2hours of fishing too often. Man all the talk I hear about muskie fishing is hard and many days of no fish and the fish of a thousand casts. Thins stuff is a walk in the park dude. Think I'll chalk it up to beginners luck.

cowanjo Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Only lure I had was a large black and orange spinner bait Thats awesome - congrats - I think Mike P chipped in above he will become your new best friend. It has been great to see just the numbers of smaller muskie around this year, must have been a great year class a couple of years ago, we also have been catching many in the 32-34 size.

Gregoire Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Nice Job. I would advise you to only pic up a few lures that are proven producer. If you buy a new lure, make sure you know it will catch fish in the body of water you are fishing. Do not walk in to a tackle store and buy a lure because it looks good. Having said that my advice is useless, as when you truly gt hooked your spend your season fishing, and your off season collecting lures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think these pics got the bug back in him. Maybe I'll go out with him and use his lures. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
