Muskie today

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.

Muskie today

Post by muskymatt »

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 :D :D

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

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.

:lol: :lol:

Thanks for coming out Arnaldo.

Tomorrow ....phase 2 8) :wink:

Nice fish guys!

Glad to hear your efforts were rewarded! Perhaps the "jinx" sank to the bottom of the big O last weekend :shock: We can only hope!
