Location: Stevens Point, WI | I'm sure they would make quite a commotion on top of the water. The only problem is the rabies risk and many bats are protected. |

| My dad used a bat for muskies. It looked like a minature baseball bat, maybe a foot long, and was weighted with lead, not cork. I don't think it had Louisville Slugger burned into it. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | I think you are confusing the story of Batman and Robin and thier fishing trip with Mr. Jonesi on Mille Lacs last year. " I can't believe I was fishing muskies with a Bat!" Steve exclaimed after the trip.
"The accessories those guys carry ARE neat though; we were able to CPR the fish we caught using really cool release tools" he said. " It was difficult to get a read on Batman, though. No facial expression because of the mask and all, and all he did was grunt, mostly." |

Location: Brookfield, WI | Cheap bait for me. Tilt the old Belfry to the side, hop up and down, and there you go. Unfortunately this also releases some guano, and I prefer that stay in the Belfry. Then I can release it on this board in small doses.
Bats in the Belfry and the silver spoon, the little boy grew to the man in the moon.

Location: Oregon | We used to catch bats as kids by standing at the end of the dock at dusk with a fly line and mosquito pattern held just above the water's surface......

| I am not sure how often it happens, but last fall I was on my favorite body of water at sunset and there were bats flying down to the surface and picking what I assume were mosquitoes from the surface of the water when a very large musky came right out of the water not 30ft from the boat and engulfed a bat as it swooped in. I have been comptemplating how to take advantage of this pattern ever since.

| I saw two guys in a Batman and Robin costume fishing on a metro lake late one fall. I asked them how they were doing and Batman said, "I can't tell ya, we're fishing in a tournament." Superheros are people too I guess. |
