I was out on Cave Run today in a all out thunderstorm... What was I thinking!!
The air temp was 48* and the water temp in Buck creek was 44.5* and in Scotts
creek the water temp was 46.5* The water is about 5-6ft low and has exposed alot
of the weeds(milfoil)
Moved only 1 fish in 7ft of water back up in Little Cave on an orange Reef Hog, I'll be
out again tomorrow for sure. Later,

The Cave was WINDY!!
The bilge pump was kicking on every 15min. while out on the mid lake,(trolled for about an hr)
I got out of the wind (a little bit) in Scotts creek for about 3 hrs. and didn't see anything
Fished a little deeper(8-12ft) because of the cold front Air temp: 38* Water temp:43-45*
Mikie, I'll be back in 2 weeks maybe we could hook up again. Later,
Jerome

Location: Athens, Ohio | Hey, you guys come up with a set of dates and I'll get us booked at Tony's Frenchburg Hilton.
I was looking at the last weekend of March, but spring could come a lot sooner. I hear there are already muskies being taken on rattletraps using a proprietary technique.
Dang, I'm gonna have to come up with come Grumpy Tonic, cuz the last time I had Raze and Sponge in me boat, my sides hurt from laughing for two days.
Mauser's always an 'if' until the last minute, since his mom's health went bad, but if we build it he will prolly come.
March 16th, 17th and 18th

| Perhaps some consideration will be given to the aforementioned geographical area then Jedi Razetoid! What amazes me is the avatar Wizard has never dropped the tossed feesh...after hours of constant observation, the perpetual motion remains the same...much like a Peruvian she-crab scuttling across a flat beach in search of a bit of discarded bait, should there be one to be had...WHOOPEE!!! Fries are up... |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Sponger,
I watched that wizard toss that fish for two and a half days. Never missed a lick, must be Gandalf. I saw him in another establishment tossing a salad once. Another tossing a pizza crust. |
|
| |
|
| In these days of uncertainty Stever, many things appear as a toss up...the fish mentioned was oringinally pointing to our right; musta zipped to our left during a yawn or blink...at any rate...  |

Location: Athens, Ohio | Ah, I can sense a new MuskieFirst video contest in the making: fish tossing. Kinda like dwarf tossing only we'll prolly use carp. Points for distance, accuracy, and technique. Third place gets two days in the boat with mikie, second place one day with mikie, and first place: you can boat with someone who actually catches fish!
Let me have things settle a bit here at the homefront and get my boat repair done, then we'll work up a Stonewall Jackson trip for mid-March or early April.
Now, back to our program. Tossing the 5 pound carp is........

Location: Columbus, Georgia | Lake levels can be checked here anytime: http://www.lrl.usace.army.mil/wc/reports/lkreport.html
Ice is all gone, but it's been very windy here the past few days (gusts up to 30 mph). The lake is currently 3 feet below summer pool, but that's only becasue it's rained a lot lately. It will most likely be dropped back down to winter pool levels within a few days if there is no additional, substantial rain. The watter is still pretty cold for this time of year (hovering in the low 40's or a little less).
My understanding is that it will be a late starting season this year. If air temps would get into the mid-50's range and stay there for a week to ten days .... the fish will become more active. Additionally and with some luck, the temps at night will go no lower than the freezing mark, which will also contribute to the water warming up as a prelude to the action ahead.
Hope this helps.
Craig

| Sounds like things are starting to heat up down there. We are coming down from Michigan this week any suggestions on where we should start. We are pretty familiar with what to use but we have only fished cave run one time. Any information would be greatly appreciated

Location: Athens, Ohio | I fished with Tony Friday evening (it snowed!), Saturday (it was cold!), and half of Sunday (still real cold). We sucked. There was a 37 inch fish caught in Scotts Creek on Saturday by Pat from NJ and Gregg popped a 29 trolling yesterday for Don, who got his very first muskie!!!!!
Wonderful Road Rules school Gregg and Tony put on, can't thank them enough for the great info and promotional baits! The food was absolutely excellent. Once again, the Curse of The Mikie strikes and I'm still up to one fish for Cave Run. Tony was taking his boat to Morehead last night to warsh the skunk off it, it should be real good down there this week. Rattlebaits in the flats and hollers. m |
