rushing Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I scored a brand new 6501CL3 off of hsolist earlier this week for really cheap, so I bought a American Spirit Nite Stick Pro 7'6" MH casting rod and a power handle for my new reel. I got the rod and the power handle today, already had my reel spooled up with some new power pro and I was looking forward to slappin the reel on my new rod and head out fishing tonight. I have been excited about getting out all week, but NOOO it has to crazy storm tonight! I guess I could chance it, its only an %80 chance of rain!

rushing Posted June 16, 2006 Author Share Posted June 16, 2006 Hoping things will calm down around midnight and sit up under a bridge. The reports I got from friends last night was the bites were coming pretty late. I wouldnt even mind going out about 3am and fishing til morning.

DARK30 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 As I look at the radar, it looks as though someone has indeed washed their car! Look for the Minnesota to leap up a few feet now.....sheesh!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random guy Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 When you have a strong name like STEELE or you are a big dumb Czhek you go out in the storms chasing fish just to because...well...you don't know any better. Not a big fish by any means but a a fish worth chasing through the rain none the less. Lots of action after the storm. (Sure looks big with the "Long Arms Johnson" pose, yes Matt that was a rip on you. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTro Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 That's the purrtiest esox I've ever seen Jon. Nice fish! Won't be long before we see that musky gear garage sale I knew I should've went out last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing/hearing cats hit the surface I made a small bet I can catch a Flathead on musky topwaters. The Weagle bait is going to see some mud.

DTro Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 I just envisioned the future, and it's not good. Me on the river, minding my own business, anchored on a hot spot watching the sun go down, as a couple of jet skiis buzz around me, another guy on shore raking the rocks, and a Ranger slowly going by working the area with a Weagle.

Random guy Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 You guys know that a musky tackle company has come out with a soft rubber bait that is a replica of a bullie, whiskers and all. Got plans for that guy also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratosman Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Nice fish, we braved the storms as well and fished pool 2, caught one small guy and lost what felt to be a pretty nice one. Still getting used to the circle hook deal. We are heading back out this evening to see what we can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
