December Starting Off Well

I had my best day of the year on Sunday. Caught 5, biggest was 43". The others were 40, 38, 38, and a 37. I was off the water by 1 pm!

Were those five fish caught casting or trolling? Great day for sure!!

Casting, 7 inch jointed crankbait. Fished from 7 until about 12:30. The 43 was about 5 casts into the day, and in that bay I caught 3 of the 5. I just looked for bays with with lots of shad. They didn't seem to be orienting to wood or weeds, just small points near deeper water. I did catch one that was suspended out over open water. No follows, just aggressive takes right at boatside. Water temp was 48-49 and rising.


I had one day last year when I caught 5 and moved 2 more, but yesterday was one of the best muskie days I have ever had.
