Straight off work and to the creek, talk about spur of the moment fishing trip. When your buddy calls and says the boat is loaded and all you gotta do is climb in you don't waste time.

I managed to stick 2, should have had a nice 36-38 as well but I saw him come in too late and pulled the bait away from him. So we ended the day with 3 fish, and saw 3 more.

I know. We need to smile more. But this is bout all yer gon get lol

Super nice fish!

Great catches! I sure wish more folks would wear a PFD.

Thanks, KY law makes have them on board, but I'm not wearing it.

DAYUM!!


You are still getting it done!

Ain't never gonna quit brother.

First time I've gotten to go in a month or better....

Here's one from last month.

Notice the trolling motor is up, we were trolling back to the launch and and this goofy fish missed the crankbait. Seen him flash on it 20-30ft back. Cranked it in and he followed it to the boat and ate it boatside

Nice Muskies , fun fish there.

Some nice fish.

nice

what are the muskies primary forage in that river?

look healthy

There's a lot of red horse suckers, carp, drum, in this river. I'd say the red horse is the primary forage.

Excellent smallmouth river too, but I doubt they are eating many of those.

Real nice?

Bravo. Still bustin'em.

Beauties

Have you been out anymore?

Not fishing. I have been shooting pigeons and crows.

Nothing wrong with that .....

Good time of year to get out and chase muskies though!

Beautiful fish.

Do they live in that river, or come up out of a lake?

They live here. There's several streams across the state that are native Muskie streams. The state keeps them stocked as well

Looks like fun.

Dang, looks fun

Never been around those guys. How are they as table fare? Would certainly be fun to catch, but can' say I've heard anyone rave about them on a plate. Need to scoot a little further north in my travels and rig up some larger flies. Thanks,

Ah, they eat ok I guess. 99.999% of Muskie fisherman catch a release though.......real easy to do damage when ya start jerkin them out.

Even where there's a lot of them, there's not many....

Those are some pale fish. The muskies we caught up in northern Wisconsin were really colorful.

1) we have the clear Ohio river strain of Muskie. Your WI fish are much different in color

2) winter time
