A new week has begun at camp and although Musky Madness is over, the muskie remain at the top of the catch list. We have two father/son muskie hunting teams in camp this week. Even though the Mardis' only managed a few pike today, Jason Merics caught a fat 46 incher on a hellhound and had several other follows. Our friend Dean Danielson is in camp for the week. Dean is a sales rep for Fishbelly Lures and he has had great luck so far with some real nice pike and a few small mouth bass on a Helix Ninja Buzz.

Special Reports: - water temperatures are down to 64 degrees at surface
- winds have switched to the west after nine days of east winds

Jay,

I would never ask you to share your secrets, but, can you give us some idea of the types of structure and various retrieves you utilize?

No problem Tony, shallow rock and coontail. I'll throw bucktails and topwater when conditions are to my likeing and i'll slow down and twitch crankbaits and use glider style jerkbaits when conditions are tough.

Jay,
Congrats on that nice 46 incher. What a way to start your week. Also, thanks for the insight. It is always helpful to learn how others are successful at catching Musky.

Thanks Jay!

Coontail is interesting stuff, definitely different than millfoil.

Can we assume you find the coontail initially by running a crankbait down into the weeds to identify the differences?

Hope your success continues and you can make a couple of more posts before the week is over!

Tony,
Coontail is the dominant vegetation in the Nipissing watershed followed by curly leaf pondweed (cabbage). There is little if any Eurasion Milfoil or Northern water milfoil if any(yet) that I have seen.

That's good to hear; we found some stuff in the shallower areas of Bob's that was very different from what we were seeing in the main channel areas, so we termed it 'coontail'. We assumed (obviously incorrectly) that it was milfoil that was predominant - however, it never appeared overly-thick. We spend more time looking for and fishing in cabbage weed, but I did catch a real nice pike and had one of my follows by grinding through thick 'coontail' with large spinnerbaits...
