If you ever wondered what it was like to hire a full time guide for a week during peak musky activity? I was fortunate to have received a full week's report on a musky trip with Mike Phillips.

The excitement of seeing fish follow your lure to the boat can be intense, and during a full week you will be fortunate enough to be fishing during prime feeding windows which you often miss with short one or two day trips.

The pictures shown here are only few of all the fish boated during that week:

" ... we saw in the range of fifty muskies swipe at our baits." says Mike.

Trip of a lifetime! When fishing musky for only a day or two you never know what to expect you could get big fish or go get nothing, it's musky, sometimes they just dont bite. However a full week will hold some great fishing action with big surprises!

Hmmm, one week with a guide huh? When I go fishing for a week I don't generally change my shirts, shorts, hat, sunglasses that many times but that's just me. But I am curious why the dates are blotched out.

Nice fish, but somethings "fishy" with the rest.
Who is Mike Phillips? Seems more like 3 weeks.

You guys need to get off the internet and go fishing, 7 days in a week, 7 different outfits/clothing combo's and who hasn't seen the weather change in a day causing you to need to slip on some pants or a jacket or windbreaker to keep out of the sun etcetcetc?
