All I have are stories of the one that got away . Mike and I manged to see several fish Saturday and botched up a few opportunities where the fish actually took the bait.

However, Sunday I got out with my buddy Dave who is just getting into the muskie game. I wasn't able to produce, but Dave saved us from a skunking by boating his first muskie. The fish came out of nowhere and inhaled Daves glide bait (custom painted of course) right at boatside. She measured 42.5", not bad for a first muskie. After several so-so outings Dave & I have had out on Caesars, it made my day to see him finally get one.

It seemed like the fish were pretty active for us early in the morning around sunrise / moon rise with all action tapering off by late morning.
