Hit Webster with two clients, Gerry and Reggi.
Water temps were 51-53 and water clarity was pretty good, about 4'.
Raised about 12 fish casting but coudn't get any of them to go, they came in slow and were just looking. I had one fish about a 44" that came in HOT on a mag dawg, that was the only fish that looked like it wanted to eat.

It was a good thing we were dragging meat because if we didn't drag meat, we would have struck out for the day. Everyone I talked to that caught fish only had action on suckers.
Total for the day.......three fish hit suckers and three fish "IN THE BOAT"
RALPHIE RIG GOES 3 FOR 3!!!!!!!!!!

First thing in the morning I set them up casting and started to rig the suckers, I had the first one ready and set it in the water, when I bent down to put the rod in the rod holder the bobber was pulling away and going under, I thought maybe it was in the weeds. I stood up and gave a little tension and felt the fish, set the hook and handed the rod to Reggi for her very first battle with a Musky. Shortly we were taking pictures of a nice fat 36 1/2".......WHAT A WAY TO START THE DAY!!!!!!!!
The 42 1/2" took the bobber under and the clicker didn't make a peep, I noticed the bobber was under and we were in 22' of water so NO WEEDS. I picked up the rod and felt the fish, set the hook and out came the sucker. I started to reel in the sucker nice and slow and there she was right on the A$$ end of the sucker. The fish hit right next to the boat so I couldn't hand her off

All in all we had a great day on the water and I think a certain little lady has been stricken with the "SICKNESS"!!!!!!!!!!!!!
