Re: Life is........ FUN!!!!

That's why you fish for muskie - the chance to catch a fish like that.
She surfaced right away so we both new it was a beast. From the netman's point of view, all I could think about was "Don't screw up the net job !!" . No issues and a strong release - Mission Accomplished.

Re: Putting the boat away

If you have boat insurance - check your policy. It will have an expiry date, usually around the middle of November unless you specifically requested something later in the season.

Re: tying wire leader

If you're breaking the leader tying the knot, I don't think I would use it for muskie fishing....

Re: New PB 47 x 20

Didn't need glasses to see that fish !! What a crazy rush - reminds you of exactly why you are out there. X2 for having the correct tools to clean things up in a hurry. Congrats Jarrett!

Re: Discourteous or not?

Discourteous !! I bass fish and own a cottage. I definitely hit the docks at certain times of the year, but don't go near them if someone is out enjoying their property. If I'm working a shoreline and someone is on their dock - I would stop casting, say hello and keep moving on to the next spot. I w...

Congats on your PB Muskie. We spent 16 hours on the water Sunday and Monday and came up empty. By 5:30 pm last night, I would have thrown my camera over the side in exchange for a PB Muskie!!

PB Dinosaur

Got out yesterday after lunch for a few hours of muskie fishing with Big C. There were 5 or 6 other boats in the parking lot - taking advantage of the good weather. After maybe an hour of trolling, I put on a depth raider and we target the 10 - 12 foot line. Just as Big C lets me know we've gone to ...

Thanks for the info guys. I'm looking at taking the course through Float Paddle and Fly to get started. Looking around at what's out there on the net it's a bit overwhelming so it will be good to get some experienced help to get started. Thanks for the offer Colin. I may be in touch once I get into ...

Rod building supplies

I'm thinking of giving rod building a try over the winter months. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to purchase blanks, or what type of equipment I'll need to buy to get started?

Or maybe I'm off base thinking I can build a fishing rod cheaper than I can purchase one !!

Some nice bass there..... My buddy suggested we try wacking rigging for bass after reading an article in a mag. It has been money every since. The first time out we must have put 50 bass in the boat in 3 hours. It has been so consistent that it is now the go to technique when we hit bass territory. ...

Nice beast there !!

Did you happen to get a length on that fish Kevin ? Just curious what it takes for a smallie to reach 5 pounds. I heard something like 22 " for a largemouth.
