September 1st Report

Well, the week ended without a musky catch to report. I did manage a 22” 4lb. Walleye on an old 1 ½ ounce blue/silver spoon from my Dad's old tackle box. That fish fought like a brute!

I forgot how much fun an 'eye can be when caught casting a lure. I caught it by Keystone shoal in 38 ft. of water just letting the spoon flutter, and then raising it up like a jig.

At 4pm, ½ hour before we called it a trip, I had what turned out to be only my second follow of the week. I was “grinding” an ERC Grinder through some heavy milfoil and she appeared really interested until I started the figure 8. What we think was that same fish, followed Sid’s Hellhound about 5 minutes later. She was tracking right behind the lure as it was doing it’s walk-the-dog routine, but she turned off about 20 ft. from the boat. Oh well, that’s musky fishing!

We had a great time, the food was outstanding – Mary outdid herself yet again. The ‘Porketta’ was terrific, and the Wednesday shore lunch dinner was awesome.

My son and his friends will be up in two weeks for “Musky Madness”. We’ll do our best to keep the reports coming.
