ccmtcanada Posted October 22, 2012 Report Posted October 22, 2012 Well, it has been a while since either of us had wet a line, and it seemed that after all that Lake Ontario trolling this summer, that it was time we turned our attention to some fall Muskies! So, Saturday morning...with a 70% chance of rain, we headed north. Launched around 8am and found our first spot to begin casting. Within a short period of time, it was apparent that the fish were on the feed! I was watching my suick come towards the boat when about 20 feet out it disappeared! First a splash as it torpedoed if from below...Then the flash of the underside of a musky and it took it straight down. I set the hook and it pulls right out of it's mouth! It didn't take much longer before Fishnsled lands a small one... All day long we went back and forth with fish....my first of the day... Fishnsled then lands this chunky 42 by 17" beauty! We then decided to cover more water and troll around some deep edges. We watched as the 70% chance of shower rained all around us, but never on us! Today was our day it seemed! While trolling, my rod goes nuts...after about 10 seconds, I realize it's not a big fish, but I'll take it! Then Fishnsled gets another nice one! End of Day one...saw us go 5 for 6...add in one follow that wasn't taking the bait and a one that rolled at the surface right at the bow of the boat and it was an incredible day! Day Two...we were going to go to Quinte originally with Fishnled's friend, but the wind forecase (35 km/h winds) caused a decision to head back for more muskie. With only a 20% chace of rain we were hoping for another banner day. As soon as we launch, the skies open up and it starts raining. It rained almost all morning long, but stopped just in time for Fishnsled to land his first ever Tiger Muskie! I have never seen one up close before, and I have to say, they are very cool!! Congrats to Fishnsled! The rest of the day was a bust...with one hit while trolling...but the entire weekend was a huge success!! Until next time....

mercman Posted October 22, 2012 Report Posted October 22, 2012 Excellent !!! Thanks for sharing your great day on the water boys.
Roy Posted October 22, 2012 Report Posted October 22, 2012 A really nice weekend for you both, Cliff and Will. Glad you got into some beauty fish. Were most or all fish taken on body baits or did you throw a few blades too?
fishnsled Posted October 22, 2012 Report Posted October 22, 2012 A really nice weekend for you both, Cliff and Will. Glad you got into some beauty fish. Were most or all fish taken on body baits or did you throw a few blades too? I threw some blades around at the start of the day (Had to test out the new Handlebarz, awesome baits Mike!) Having not seen a fish, other then the one that rolled on the surface in front of me, and Cliff losing the first one on the suick I switched back to the glide bait and got a fish on that first cast with it, followed shortly with a follow. Given the weather and front that was moving in, I believe they just wanted a slower presentation.
