August 27th Report

We woke up at 4:45am to misty rain, which naturally, didn’t stop Sid and me from venturing out in the darkness to give the ‘first hour of daylight’ a try.

Sid managed the only fish before we headed in for breakfast – a 10” smallmouth that bit his 8” shallow raider!

After breakfast we guided our party down five mile bay, where we drifted, trolled, and cast but came up nearly empty – just a few small pike and a bass for the effort.

By mid-day the sky was blue with fluffy clouds and temps around 75º, and the action continued to be spotty.

When we returned for dinner though, we learned that Jim Ober caught two muskies (43” and 42”) to go with the 44 incher Mike Ober caught the day before. Their lure choices were a Mepps Musky Killer and the very popular Leo. Unfortunately, the Ober’s don’t own a digital camera – so no pics to post!

Tomorrow’s another day; and the “positive musky attitude” is holding strong…
