This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Rainy Day Lungin'

Post by Relic »

Well after a couple days of being skunked BigT and myself had some tight lines and put fish in the boat today :D Man was it wet out there today, I'm still all pruned up from the day long bath :wink: :lol:

We hit the water at 9am with barely any rain coming down, overcast calm, muggy... just what you want when after muskies. The day got of to a frustrating start, follows......again. Ten a.m hits and the rain starts coming.....Hard. So did the fish :D In the next couple hours, we boated 2 in the 36" range, and had action from several others (Sorry no pics, to much rain) Couple pike, smallies then nothing.....for a couple hours.

The rain had subsided and the wind shifted, we returned to a spot I had seen a Large fish at under the same conditions a week ago. After fishing shallow we backed off a little, and casted some doctored :wink: Jakes to the deep breaks and points. I fired a cast off a deep point and began slowly crankin it back, when it was su-llaammed!!!! Immediatley my knee's start knockin, as there is a chance it's the "BIG ONE" :shock: After a short but hard fought battle I was rewarded with the prize of the day :D

Didn't get a good length measurment, as she got away from us a second too early, 41" at the fork with a 17.5 inch girth.

Good Fishin' all.

Thanks for the muskie fix Relic! I knew you'd pull through this tough muskie season with some pics for me to drool over.

I love the hardcore guys! Well earned fish. :P

Love it, Relic! I definitely have a touch of muskie fever, if you can call it that. So I especially love the muskie shots. Happy to see your patience and tenacity paid off, soggy weather and all. Nice fish... :D

PS: just got a nice, new homemade muskie spinnerbait from my friend; so I will have to use it some time soon to test its worth. Sure looks like a good one!
Thanks, Dad, for taking me fishing when I was a kid.
