Posts: 16632 Location: The desert | Hey now, hey now....Sure, there might have been a little alcohol involved in this whole thought process, BUT it was not the leading cause of said hair cut. I felt that I needed a hair cut, which was true, but I knew that my bank account contained a mere 6.47 cents. So after some discussion amongst my peers we decided that my benefit to cost ratio pointed me in the direction of firing up the beard trimmers and doing a little maintanance. I did not have time to fish this weekend as I worked all day Saturday and the Packers were on Sunday....however I did get out tonight with one of the newest memebers to MuskieFIRST 257ROBT (Dale). Dale has struggled a bit fishing muskies from shore around here so I told him I would be more than happy to take him out and try to get him on some fish. Well we got to the spot and I told him where he was going to stand and tossed one cast out to demonstrate what I had been doing lately to get fish.....and sure enough when it got to the 'hot spot' a fish came out of the water and inhailed my topraider. It was only a 34, but it was my first ever first cast fish. I stuck a 40 about 30 mins later. Dale didnt have any luck but we did see at least 14 fish, so we'll get him one in the coming weeks! Shave it Steve, its the newest trend in musky fishing! Attachments ----------------  40incherresize.jpg (134KB - 81 downloads) | ||

| I finalllly got out this past weekend after the first two weeks of school (college). I miss summer way too much!!! Dragged my dad up north after we kept time/score at the local high school football game Friday night...he wasn't too thrilled to go, but knew how bad I wanted to get out! It was a chilly 30 degrees when we left Medford and we got to Eagle River around 2:30. Frost/ice covering the dock, we got out on the water around 3:00 a.m. Dad really wasn't thrilled then with freezing temps and not liking night-fishing already. I told him that it would pay off and he would just roll his eyes. First sign of any light (a while before sunrise), he gets a hit on a Rumbler and loses it after about 2 seconds...same exact cast, I have one hit right below the boat and fight it for 3 or 4 seconds only to see a big boil and my bait coming to the top. Unreal we thought; two fish on the same cast, both lost! No more than 10 casts later, something smashes his Rumbler and ended up in the net: 41" - his second best musky ever. Take pictures and right away I tell him I have to get my bait in the water instantly! 5 casts later, my spinner gets smoked and all I see is a big head shaking back & forth on the surface. I tell dad it's a good one and to just be patient with the net-job. We finally got her in after some good runs and she measured out at a fat 48" - my second best musky as well. She was definitely feeding prior to being caught by how chunky she was. Went the next 5 hours with nothing and then had one mid-30's follow a Cowgirl lazily. The window was short, but they were definitely active! I hope I'm able to get him to go up north again this weekend. Really want to get out on the water up there again soon! Good luck everybody that gets out this week/weekend!!! Catch a pig...and release her. -Jake Bucki Attachments ---------------- Dad 41.jpg (42KB - 86 downloads) Jake 48.jpg (38KB - 102 downloads) Jake 48 Release #2.jpg (45KB - 84 downloads) | |||
