Sunday was more high-water musky hunting but the water was the lowest we had fished this Spring. These guys had fished with me a few times before. We had a great day of action but did not do so well with the catching part.
We had 5 different muskies going in 3 different locations with 3 of them hooked and then lost. 2 of the fish were boatside blow-ups as we saw both fish engulf the lure and then shake off during the hookset. One of the largest fish had followed Craig’s bait tightly right up to boatside while we were having a conversation. He was looking at me and stopped his bait (which was floating on the surface) while still talking and I calmly ‘grunted’ for him to jerk the lure and the fish just completely engulfed it off the top! A couple headshakes later and she was gone. All our action happened between 9 and 12:30 or so.
Then, we get more rain today and the river level is already heading back up.
Good luck and stay tuned!
