Fish4Eyes Posted July 9, 2012 Report Posted July 9, 2012 Enjoy your stay guys. I just returned from there last night after a 7 night stay. Pike and pickerel fishing was pretty good.
Seaweed Posted July 9, 2012 Report Posted July 9, 2012 Roy I am arriving on Saturday August 4 and leaving on Thursday August 9. I am up there on the week with the holiday Monday every year for the past 7 years anyway. It only took me three years to find the fish. Tough water sometimes... BTW we will be under a fairly good full moon... hang on to the rods everyone.
aplumma Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 O.K. it is official Joe and I will be up there 5th to the 10th of Aug. Mr Lew I do believe if you have time you owe me a muskie. I seem to have drawn a blank the last time you were generous enough to take me out. Art
lew Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 Great news Art, and yes, I certainly do have a spot for you. Lookin forward to seeing the pair of youz again !!
aplumma Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 I forgot... what size gaff should I bring to land the muskies Lew? Art
Roy Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Posted July 13, 2012 You don't need a gaff, Art. We have Capt. Hooked with us remember? I'm really looking forward to seeing you boys again!
lew Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 I forgot... what size gaff should I bring to land the muskies Lew? Art It's easier to just grab them by the eye sockets Art, keeps em from squirming too much.
Roy Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Posted July 13, 2012 Don't do that Lew! If you squeeze their eyeballs, they start losing their teeth!
lew Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 I thought it was the warm water that made the teeth fall out ??
aplumma Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 I guess we can do it either way after all we are just going to grind them up and make muskie burgers anyway. Art
woodenboater Posted July 14, 2012 Report Posted July 14, 2012 Bummer, my vacation ends that weekend when everyone else shows up. Is anyone going to be there the weekend before ?
Rich Clemens Posted July 14, 2012 Report Posted July 14, 2012 Really don't understand all this wishful thinking about catching musky. I already caught them. Guess you'll have to settle for pike stew
motv8tr Posted July 14, 2012 Report Posted July 14, 2012 Art, it will be good to see you and Joe, I'm looking forward to it. Maureen
Roy Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Posted July 16, 2012 Looks like there are a few more who'll be making an appearance. Mercy sakes alive, looks like we have us a convoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tybo Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 There goes my nice quiet week at the lake. Oh yeah. It`s never too quiet for long when I`m around. :blahblah1:
capt_hooked Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 Just to get you guys excited...... I expect we'll see a couple nice muskies caught while you are here..... One guy and his wife this past week raised 3 big fish (46-48 inches maybe?) and landed two smaller fish.. a 39- and a 44-incher. They were very happy. Bass and walleye fishing is good... Pike is a bit slow for some reason.. although I got asked to clean two nice fish..(25-28 inches) few days back... fried them up real fast and tasty .. for a nice couple from Georgia...
motv8tr Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 Well according to Lew, those are not worthy Muskie When I got mine a few years ago and it was estimated to be 44" his only comment was "I don't play with fish that small " I'll be happy to play with them anytime though....I'm not that picky Maureen
lew Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 Well according to Lew, those are not worthy Muskie Their ALL worthy Mo, just some are MORE worthy than others :lol:
Rich Clemens Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 Just don't catch my 50+ .... she's still out there somewhere.
woodenboater Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 I'm heading up there tomorrow for a week so will keep an eye out for your musky Rich Last trip up was just smb. Pike were slim pickings for me
Rich Clemens Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 I'm heading up there tomorrow for a week so will keep an eye out for your musky Rich Last trip up was just smb. Pike were slim pickings for me Now don't you go catching it ... just PM me the coordinates where she is, since I won't be back up there until June of next year. I'll take care of business then. Oh yeah - Best of luck on any other species you choose to fish for.
woodenboater Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 That musky has nothing to worry about from me
Seaweed Posted August 22, 2012 Report Posted August 22, 2012 Hi everyone My appologies for not coming over to say hi while up at the West Arm this year. I had a bunch of calamity events that took a lot of my time while up there this year and dodging the foul weather... well between those things there was little time for much socializing. I totalled my trailer trying to launch the Nitro at the Sucker Creek launch when I backed it off the concrete pad and decided that my truck would pull it out real well if I slapped it in four wheel low and hammered the gas... wrong... bent the center rib and knoced off all the bunks what a bonehead move ... thanks to a few of the lads we managed to get my trailer fixed and the welding shop in Vernor is amazing and I would recommend them to anyone... thirty bucks to weld up some new welds that busted loose on the center rib. I did see lots of boats on the water when I did get out a few times but... well I was fishing... and not too successfully until Thursday when you could not keep the pike off the hook... amazing that the bite could turn on like that. I hope you all had a good week and someday I will make it over to say hello and get to put some faces to a lot of folk on this discussion board. Tight lines and enjoy the rest of the summer.
