8/4 & 8/5 Musky Hunt

We fished as many good spots as possible before the sun got high in the sky Wednesday morning. 3 nice fish showed themselves at boatside but 2 premature endings of fig-8’s could have cost us a fish or two. The third fish showed up late, hung around under the boat for 30 yards then missed the bait a few casts later. We did put a smallish pike in the net but that was it by the time noon rolled around. The first fish that boiled at boatside was the nicest of the 3 and in the mid-40’s range.

Thursday’s Tionesta hunt was much tougher for us. We saw absolutely nothing but we did an awesome job of looking like we knew what we were doing.:) The lone trolling boat cruised past us at 1:30 and wondered if we were getting blanked like they were.

No fishing for my boat over the next 3 days. My shoulders and elbows demanded a break….So, I am obliging.


Good luck and stay safe!
