MINNESOTA MUSKIE OPENER!!!

[brad coin]

low and slow

on sat we had 19 follows and missed a small fish but almost all follows were 5 feet behind lure,,the recent cold nite temps I think dropped the watertemps which is a killer in spring,,spose to be hot this week Im sayin they go come weds/thurs

I think were going to see a good number of fish caught in metro tourney next saturday

Rugby and I hit Minnetonka from about 6am to 11:30 on opener and didn't even have a follow.

Muskies suck.

Went out on tonka 5-11am. Had six follows but no takers... One was basically touching the lure but never committed. caught a bonus northern and a small bass that was smaller than the lure it hit. It was nice being back out on the water!

Out for 2.5 hrs of metro action last night. Wife boated a 36" on her favorite pink lure. Only bass and pike for me. That's 2 ski's in 2 outings for my boat!

Tons of pressure out there right now. Looking forward to a few weeks from now when you all start to give up

Was up on Elk Sunday. Weather was perfect, light wind, overcast, occasional drizzle.

Fish didn't care about that though. One shoreline was about 3 degrees warmer then the rest of the lake. We saw some nice fish there, low and slow. I did have one roll over on a Z-180. (a brand new in the box one I got at our MI tackle swap last month, should have sold it to RK for $100)

We were the only boat on the lake from 11 am until 4 pm. Then one other boat showed up to fish walleyes.

You don't see that often opener weekend up there, usually quite busy.

We had a good MN Opener...the goal was to get my buddy's boys each a muskie on opener...Eric is 12 yrs old and Adam is 10 yrs old. Eric ended the day with a 40" and a 50.5" and Adam ended the day with a 35" and 45"...I ended up catching a 41.5" too...but it was more about the kids. The smiles on their faces was priceless!! I think their mom is going to be buying some picture frames.

Sunday we fished until noon and it was much slower...fish were low and slow depite the better fishing conditions?? Stupid Muskies!
