Any musky action?

Well is this hot, dry weather hurting or helping the musky fishing in your neck of the woods? I don't think it makes a difference for me, I just can't seem to catch one of those buggers this year

We went to check a few lakes the other day to see if the water temps had dropped,where we found the water to be in the higher 70's... A lot better then mid 80's from the weekend...

Fished two lakes, where we seen 7 fish, 4 fish we hooked up on but could only get one to the bag.... Pretty neat deal we had though... I hooked a fish at boatside on the 8 (the fish we did land, a 35 incher) and my partner hooked a fish at the same time the fish I caught decided to eat... A double for a short while before that fish also decided to throw the hooks... So a decent day, but I should have had two other fish in the boat.. Dang hair nippers...

Thank god the temps have calmed down a bit!!!

Hit a small lake with Wydlewal this afternoon in search of some muskys. The water temps were high, it was windy and the water was a muddy dark color. So after trying the shallow cabbage with out any luck we decided to try some deeper water and cranks.

Were enjoying ourselves when we notice a joy rider in his boat keeps getting closer and closer till he is doing laps around us wide open within casting distance. We kept casting and giving him dirty looks till he swings wide and comes straight at my boat and this time he misses my boat by about 4ft I'm guessing around 30- 35mph.

He makes some hand gestures screams something and then puts his boat at his dock and goes up to his cabin. What the heck is wrong with people now days? Alot of bad ideas came across my mind on getting back at him but I decided to just keep fishing instead. Sad thing is he had musky poles and baits in his boat so he was aa fisherman too. What would you have done?

We did end up getting a mid 30" ski before we left.

I won't say what I'd have done Lets just say I have zero tolerance for that kind of dump.

Outdoor Ran,

Holy Smokes! I think I was on the same lake, same day, fishing muskies, and the same guy did the same thing to us. At first I just thought he was being ignorant as too how he was affecting our fishing, but then he even got closer. I was fishing the sunken island and he kept running laps over the whole structure! I thought he would hit bottom on one of his runs. He was in a 18-20ft black alumacraft type boat? with the full windshield, a rod sticking straight up in rod holder, and he was wearing a baseball hat on backwards.

Let me know if this is the same guy, I'd like to report him to the warden as it has got to be illegal to harass people when they are fishing!

[outdoor ran]

Sounds like him. I was on Amnicon lake. Was that you over on the sunken island. I nocticed he was doing laps around that boat to. Did you see him take a kamkize run at my boat. He pulled out at the last second. I know he wasnt more then 4ft away. I'm thinking about going back and getting his numbers off his boat.

I think it was a black smokercraft with a full windshield and he had a rod sticking straight up with some lure hanging in the air. Its a good thing he didnt make another run at the boat because I was going to toss my anchor (thats how close he came) into his windsheild, at that speed it would of been ugly.

[Noahsark]

Yes that was me fishing the sunken island, and yes that was the lake, day, and guy that was acting like a complete jerkbait! I would like to file a report with the warden and or sheriff. Let me know if you would like to add anything to the complaint?

As for the fishing, we only saw two small skies and caught one bass. I think the lightning the night before sent them out deep. I graphed some bigger fish off the weeds out in open water, maybe I should have been trolling out there.

I did manage a small skie last night on the river, but it has been real slow there too.

[outdoor ran]

Yea, I do want to add to the report for sure. That guy is going to kill someone if he keeps that up. Whats your e-mail address? I'll get you my buddys cell number and mine.
