Muskie today

Post by **muskymatt** » Sat Sep 30, 2006 8:14 pm

I was out on the Ottawa with a guest up from Mississauga, Arnaldo joined me for a day of Muskie fishing , we had a great day on the water!!!

Being somewhat of a newbie to ski fishin and from out of town I wanted to leave a good impression for him to have.
I think we did it

Out at 7am , fog really thick, Arnaldo had the first bit of luck. 43" on top water

After a few hrs and switching to a different presentation , I hooked up a small fat baby muskie

NOTE: Several 5 lb bass were hurt during the outing , some may have been eaten by muskie.

Thanks for coming out Arnaldo.

Tomorrow ....phase 2

Nice fish guys!

Glad to hear your efforts were rewarded! Perhaps the "jinx" sank to the bottom of the big O last weekend

We can only hope!
