It is time....
Next week I hope to be pounding the water for a day with someone we all know.....

For now, the nuts have left the river and all is quiet. I'm gonna go and see if a certain ski or two are setting up where they taunted me from last season...

That and catch a few non muskie type fish into the bargain....

Friday evening, after work was the time, the site of the lost muskie was the place. This time no whimpy 6 lb line, I was ready for the midsized brute that broke off last time we tangled....

It was a pleasant night to be out, and my reluctant friend was too afraid of me with proper tackle.

Did I catch her? Well, it sure was peacful fishing till dark.........

The fish of at least 300 casts stayed put.

The MWC is in town, or at least the advanced wave of pre fishing anglers....

I was able to look over a Crestliner, Muskie Edition rig....nice boat...

To the point at hand, I was able to tangle with a nice ski in the Menominee River yesterday. Nice fish somewhere in the 38-40 inch class I'd guess...

but alas, my six pound line decided to not stay connected and after a quick flip of the tail, the fish was gone as suddenly as it appeared to smash my tube jig.

I think I actually saw it flip me off too! I bet Muskies do that stuff just for fun.......

Shhhhhhh,

Be vewy, vewy quiet.........

I'm huntin slimers........ha ha ha ha ha!

And BTW,

I have a blog over at that other site...

You'd be amazed at what I fish for on purpose....
