Fished the IMTT Prairie Lake event this past Saturday (10-15-11) with my good friend "Musky" Russ Schaller. The neat thing about this trip was that I was back home in Petersburg IL where I grew up on our family farm. Prairie is a interesting lake to fish for muskies. About 160 acres, 45-50' deep and relatively clear. Some standing timber in areas, falldowns everywhere and weeds. Lake was about 3 feet down which would dramatically change the casting presentations for sure. No fish were caught in the tournament but I definitely will go back as 3 of the fish we have seen on this lake are in the 40-45" class. Stayed at some very good accomodations at River Bend Lodge with some good eats at Stonebake Pizza
