Thanks Muskiemagnet. Any special tips on minnow size and how they're rigged?

Anyone willing to share how they caught they're Muskie? As a releative newbie to Muskie fishing (only 2 in 2 years of trying), I sure would like to know how you guys did it. What did you use for bait, casting, trolling, technic, how deep, etc would really help to educate those in the "skunked" club!

Thanks for organizing this event. It's really the first Fish Hawk event I've gone to but it certanily won't be the last. Even though we got skunked
it was great to meet everyone.

So...when's the next outing???

Pretty early to be winterizing your pool!

I closed mine long weekend in September!

There's talk of a possible thunderstorm tomorrow. Being in an alluminum boat in the water with lightening flashing around, what's the safest thing to do? Head to shore and get out of the boat, or ???

And of course there's http://www.geocities.com/ottawaboatramps/

Thanks Saskie. Where would I get this stuff? Any marina?

Steve me boy, how's life treating ya? Believe me, I do have a bilge pump! You wouldn't believe how much water comes in though. I'd like to at least slow it down some?

Still playing hockey Sunday mornings?

Not sure where it's leaking. Can I gut the boat and paint the entire inside with the 2-part epoxy paint?

Okay, I have an old Lund, leaks like a sieve. Not sure how I should go about fixing it. Any suggestions much appreciated.


Thanks,

John

Sorry for such a stupid question but can you, and more importantly, would you want to, eat a Muskie? Maybe they taste just like chicken!

Just about all fish caught on either a white or black spinner bait. I have about 7 tackleboxes but my buddy is always kidding me cause all I ever use is spinner baits.

And my buddy Bob caught that "giant pike" on a rapala that was bigger than the fish! Totally instinct!

I like this new wau Rogers has teamed up with Yahoo and given unlimited photo storage. Here's some of the fish pics I have from late last fall and some of this summer. I'm the fat guy, and the young lad is my step son David. The other guy is my buddy Bob who'll be coming to the Muskie outing with me...

Not to detract from the current conversation but I want to contribute to the BBQ. I know we'll be chipping in $5.00 or so (and do we pay before hand?) but I'll bring a case of pop as well. Is there anything else I can do? Really looking forward to this. On another note, I met 2 guys wearing Fish Haw...

Just a clarification to your list, I have a boat (an old 16 foot Lund with a 25 horse) but not much lunge experience. Hoping to pick up so tips at this outing.
