Posts: 1137 Location: Holly, MI | Lake St Clair doesn't open until the first Sat in June for us here in Michigan, inland is open however. We gave it 8 hard hours of casting and some trolling today in 45-50 degrees with a light rain for one stinkin' Follow. I hope it is that good next time out  | ||

Posts: 3242 Location: Racine, Wi | Out with the boys on Sat, I blanked, we raised on 50" class fish, and had one other chasing our meat, but couldn't get a hook in it. I did however get 1 lure out of a 25' tree for my partner, 2 off of docks for my other partner, and 10 backlashes out between the 2 of them. That is what I call fun!!!!! I love heckling rookies. Sunday we popped 2 pike, and snagged a carp, and Little Tuffy buffed a hookset on a mid 40 class fish. Looks like he was taking lessons for me. We will get that sucker next time. It was good to be on the water, and Ohhhhhh am I out of casting shape.  Also saw a truck drive into the water on Silver on Sunday. lol We just heard a, crash, scrape, grind, splash!!!! That dude was not tooo happy. I think that the exhaust spewing into the water turned the fish on. The water was another 3 degrees warmer after that. lol Edited by tuffy1 5/3/2004 8:32 AM | ||

Posts: 1245 Location: Madtown, WI | My buddy brad and I hit the water at 4:45 (first boat on, imagine that) and we fished till about 7:30 till when we went to pick up Lisa(my fiancee) up at the dock. I think at this point Brad had landed one on a Banjo minnow type plastic ( was calling it the BUNG_HOLE MINNOW) and had another hit while I tried hard not to hook a low 30 inch fish that ate my manta at the boat...I succeeded. Lisa gets in the boat and puts on this cool looking perch crankbait she bought this winter called the Polish Perch (shes half Polish). We pull out from the launch and start fishing right away. I tell her that bait tends to dive down deep into the weeds so be careful. First cast and about 5 cranks later she says...I got one...brad and I look over and her rod is bent over. I say, your probably in those shallow weeds....she says no I got one...just as both Brad and I notice her rod tip start to pulsate. Brad yells "NO WAY!" and proceeded to say no way for the next 5 minutes.....I jump and grab the net as Lisa fights in her first muskie! A scrappy, spawned-scared 35.5 incher! Rest of the morning till 11:30 when we had to leave, I managed to keep the hooks out of 3 other muskies and Brad caught 2 more I think on that d*mn plastic minnow and lost one or two as well. Was a little chilly but made for a nice day! Fun was had by all! Cory Attachments ----------------  lisa 35.5_5_1_04.JPG (57KB - 101 downloads) | ||

| Read the Musky Hunter article by Joe Bucher about not using a leader with a spinnerbait. Almost immediately got my brand new slopmaster bit off. One bass the rest of the day. Think Joe wanted to sell more Slopmasters? Bait did go through the weeds well... Back to Gander I go... John  | |||

Posts: 2515 Location: Waukesha & Land O Lakes, WI | Walleye fished up in Land O Lakes. Water temps by me on Palmer/Tenderfoot were a balmy 51-52 with fish well out of the spawn. My brother and I limited by 2 pm on Saturday. Winds made fishing almost impossible by us on Sunday, we waited until 4 and went over to the Cisco Chain, fish were still in the spawn. We ended up catching 20+ with only 4 keepers. If I keep catching monsters like this gal, I dont know if I'm going musky fishing at all Attachments ---------------- palmer eye.JPG (31KB - 110 downloads) | ||
