Shloim Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Was there a couple weeks ago and had a trip of a lifetime for me at least. So we are going back with a powerhouse team on a couple of boats. Cant wait, the weather so far looks great and while we will leave the musky fishing for others, the same guy that put us on to over 250 fish in 2.5 days (divided by 3) is coming and wants to target smallies on the main lake.....Any thoughts folks?

lew Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) and while we will leave the musky fishing for others target smallies on the main lake.....Any thoughts folks? I'm just wondering why anyone would want to catch bass when the lake is full of BIG muskies. That's like turning down prime rib for a hot dog Edited October 16, 2015 by lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like turning down prime rib for a hot dog Now let's not forget I'm the rookie here . So for a couple of reasons, I'd rather be busy with bass than throw massive lures all day long for hopefully 1 fish. We caught 250 fish there while we watched 50 guys get 5 fish in the same time period. Secondly it's not my boat and we have the privaledge of fishing with a pro who won a big tourney this season. He's going for bass and we are following.... Edited October 16, 2015 by Shloim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Sheepshead and silver bass? Come on man, that's can't be a trip of a lifetime Go after the big boys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioFisherman Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 If you don't have the right tackle for skis you are probably better off targeting other species? they might be too? Came across that video a couple weeks ago, a younger guy from Ohio fishing there, looks like a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave524 Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 That's like turning down prime rib for a hot dog Actually muskies don't taste any better than sheephead and silver bass and the fish police have a hissy fit if you do keep one, even if it makes the size restriction.

Shloim Posted October 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Now don't get me wrong folks, Id love to catch a musky. Haven't caught one yet, but don't really have the proper gear so I'm hoping for a nice sized cooperative one I can land on my bass gear, It would be kinda cool to blow some stuff up with a monster fish because I haven't done that either....just not my EVO.
