| It's muskie time...think Grim Reaper
Muskies are going strong on the CAVE as Justin has stated on the board, many super fish have been taken in the last week. Congradulations to local angler Dennis Butcher landed a 54 incher on a Grim Reaper 900, Dennis is probably THE BEST muskie angler on the Cave, he has taken many trophy fish and has been taking them longer than any other person that fishes the CAVE. His wife's not bad either, you my recall Eve's 51 inch beauty that she took a couple of years back. Myself and most all local guides have learned an endless amount of muskie info from these two "Truely Legendary Kentucky Anglers". Another local angler landed a gaint muskie of 54.25 taken on a Grim Reaper 1500, this fish was first witnessed by two guest of Mountain Muskie Lodge who did the measurements at Scott's Creek Marina right after the catch. I am posting a picture of both these great fish on my site in the next few days. Also a fat 52 incher was taken early last week. For me nothing real big yet but the last 2 days have given my clients 6 muskies to 41 inches. We have lost some quality fish as well. Guest at Mountain Muskie lodge have accounted for some good reports as well with 44 and 45 inchers this past week. Look for the fish up shallow in the backs of coves and on the main lake flats near weeds. Topwaters like the Top Raider and Hammerhead by River Run Tackle have accounted for some good fish for my clients, but it seems that spinnerbaits and bucktails are producing best. Try black and gold, black and silver and white for best results. Trolling has not been a great producing method so far, fish seem to be holding shallow. Look for trolling to pick up as our water cools. We still have guide openings and or lodging for our prime Big Fish hunts in October, November and December, call 1800-452-1600 for details.
Hope to see ya on the water
