Hooked up with my buddy who does a little musky guiding.,man am I glad he called to see what i was doing...1st day water was rough but i managed a 48 ...second day water was calm and the action incredible. I caught two 44's. we had at leat 10 follows that REALLY REALLY like the copper colored cow girl. IN fact all the fish i caught with the exception of the 50 were on the CG. 3rd and last day..several AM follows on the CG but no takers..after 30 hours of throwing the CG my shoulder was done in... I wussed out and grabbed a Salamo...flipped it out to test it..made one cast ..soooo tired....lol Looked down as the bait was near the boat and barely had time to set the hook! Got a bath on the hook set and the fight was on baby! My buddy screamin to loosen the drag some but i was WAY ahead of him lol The 8 ft Gander rod and the new Toro did the job..boated the 50..went home tired, sore but one happy camper baby! pics as soon as i figgr out how to do em.

Sounds like a blast. When were you out? I won't ask where, I'm just wondering if all those fish came after the cold weather set in on the Midwest. I haven't been out musky fishing for over a week, but reports I've heard are that things are terribly slow. Sounds like you guys didn't have any trouble finding active fish though!

this past weekend..Fri Sat Sunday. The fall feed must be on cuz they sure acted hungry and seemed fairly heavy for this time of year. The area we fished has clear water and my bud threw every bait he had but the copper CG was doing all the work.

I was out Saturday Sunday and Monday and the cold had pretty much shut fishing down. Even ran into a CO Sunday who said our "couple of small pike" was the best report anyone had given him all day. I thought I had a chance Monday, when I saw a 12" bass jumping for it's life. Threw at that spot for about 5 minutes before a giant snapper finally surfaced. That about summed up how my weekend went.

yeah the walleye guys were complainin of the same thing when we stopped to chat with a few. We decided there'd be no walleye for suppper so headed in lol I musky fished for 2 years with my buddy off and on and never got the weather/timing right. This year has been awesome..nailed my first one in July winning a local tourney and its only gotten better..Headin back up Nort' in October to try some more.
