Got the boat out of storage

[Dtrap]

Hit the lake twice this week for some fishing. Went Muskie fishing on wed. and fished all day with only one follower. She was a big one in the 45"-47" range. Came up and crashed the lure but didn't get hooks in her. Threw back out and she came in hot on it again but just blew the bait out clear out of the water. She wouldn't come back for a third go round. That was right at sunset and was it for the day. Headed out today for about 5 hours to do some walleye fishing and did pretty good. We ended up with 2 keeper walleyes, a 19" and a 15.5", and a few shorts. Also managed a few smallmouth and some crappie. It sure felt good to get back on the water.

Sounds like you are coming out of the gate pretty good this year.

Nice walleye's. Even a close encounter with a Muskie can make a day on the water.

I'll be heading out in a few minutes. Listening to it rain dampened my enthusiasm a little but you got me fired up again. Thanks

Where did you go for the musky..They are a bit slow up this way. Water temps already 60 on the surface..Unreal weather?? This should get them in the spawn mode and about a month early. Nice eye's

We fished Webster in the morning till about noon and then headed over to tippy for the rest of the day. No action at all on Webster other than snagging a few carp. Did see a few cursing around the backwaters but no takers.

A few musky being caught on rattle traps. Have not heard much else working.

Saw a nice fat 45" caught on a perch crankbait. The one we had up was on a custom spoon.

Will be hitting Bass Lake in a few weeks. Cant wait..love fishing a lake with no houses and no other boat traffic.

Love Bass Lake, and the rest of those over in Dugger unit.

I'll miss living in Greene Co this year.

I grew up in Jasonville and Wilfred..Right on the Co. line. Its a great place to live for hunting and fishing..

Fried up yesterday's catch today with some fresh cut fries and Mac and cheese. Nothing like the first fish fry of the year.

Oh man, I love me some fresh walleye. I've been fishing in Indiana my entire life and have never caught one here. I take an annual trip to Canada and caught my first a couple years ago.

Never laid eyes on a muskee. If anyone needs a partner to help chase them sometime let me know!

Should be some good Musky fishing in Driftwood in the next couple years!!! I do know there are still some in there I saw a pretty decent one last spring so I would imagine there are more there.

 

[Dtrap]

We used to fish there often but haven't in the last 2 years. We have a few in the mid 40's and even a fat 46" like 3 years ago out of there.

 

[Deadly Z Driver]

I would think in the next couple of years the fishing will turn around down there. They need to continue to stock the crap out of it! lol
