I had to come in and share this experience:
I just got off the lake from a very interesting outing! I had planned to go after some smallies with the top-water baits James has been talking about….well I never got to do much fishing. I made my first stop on a reef out on the eastside of the lake. I did pick my rod up and was ready to start casting when I spotted a fish off the back of the boat. Well this was not just any fish, this was ONE BIG MUSKIE!!!!!!I just watched as it swam off. Than I spotted another, and another, they where everywhere. I bit I watched 10-12 muskies in the next 1/2 hour. These muskies were all in the mid to upper 40 inch class-Big….I also saw some nice walleye up shallow in the rocks. These fish were all in 4-6 feet of water, the wind was light allowing me to see these fish with my polaroid glasses. I did see some schools of bait swiming around that I think was keeping these fish close in. After awhile I did make a few casts with out any luck…….one time I hit this muskie on my retrive of the lure, the big fish just swam away? On this day I did have a strong desire to catch one of these monsters? but I sure didn’t have the equipment to handle one on this trip.
It was very exciting seeing these big fish……….
