6-18-11 report and dumb sophmore questions
Fished from 5pm to 9pm tonight for muskies. Went to a community spot that I don't usually fish. Suprised to see only 2 boats out there. From 6 to 7 pm I had a hit from a 45 inchish fish on the side of the boat. ten minutes later had a 40 inch fish follow up to the boat watch my pathetic oval, laugh and swim away. Then about 30 minutes later I caught a 40 incher. Hopes of a multifish night were not to be, nothing 7 to 9pm. All fish came next to cabbage weedbeds on the ghost.
dumb questions, help from anyone appreciated. My half oval hit that I miss set the hook on was right at the edge of the boat and the fish gave me a bath. From what I have read on here I should have pulled the lure back into the fish and not away from it like I did. right???
question 2- I thought musky were a one hit fish on a retrieve. On the 40 inch fish I had a sharp small bump (thought northern snake) followed by a thud about 5 feet later that was the musky. Thus I think this was 2 hits on one cast from the same fish.
question 3- I also thought you were suppose to cast into the wind. Just wondering because none of the othe boats that came and went did that??
Thanks to the guy who offered the camera and the congratulations. Also thanks to my wife for letting me fish on my 12th anniversary. (notice it was not an all day fishing trip, ha, ha)
Hope the attachment works, not much for these computers.
