Of cource they weren't all muskies,,, but some were.

Returned from Eagle a few days ago and we had a great time, the weather was a little disappointing (to warm, to sunny, and not much wind).

I told Jim B. from MI. we have a couple of areas to try. We went straight to the 1st spot, made a couple of trolling passes, and hit fish right away. We ended up the day with 45 fish from the area both trolling and casting.
It was a great start and the entire 8 days went well. We ended up with 197 fish, give or take. Muskies to 46", a couple of 38" pike, walleyes to 29", and a couple of nice 20" small mouth, also 1 surprise lake trout (16lbs). The only bummer was having to come home, I could stay up there till ice no problem! Oh well back to work.

Glad to hear the rest of your spoonplugging trip was a success! It was so bummed we had to leave when we did....(we saw you at the boat landing and you'd just caught 45" walleyes to 29.5")....but hopefully I'll be back up!!

WOW! 197 fish in 8 days...multi-species at that. That sounds like a BLAST! Congrats! Definitely sounds like a good time. Anytime you can go fishing and get that much consistent action is a huge success and an awesome time! I'm envious! I'm all about the other species you encountered as well. Too cool...
