It went on a torpedo run from left to right. I let out some profanity. Hopefully it's not a sign of things to come. I don't need to be getting into these slime bags all of the sudden. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User T-Billy Posted June 8 Super User Share Posted June 8 I hear ya @gimruis. I pulled my bait away from a couple small muskie this morning. They're a PITA to deal with. The bigger fish were having fun taunting me. Eight hot follows into the 8, right on the bait, zero hookups. They would follow through a turn or two then bail. Clear water is making it tough to get bit. In order to even get 'em chasing, I'm having to burn that .22 Short just as fast as I can stand to crank it with an 8 speed Tranx 400. Fortunately no heart breakers, but I did have a nice low 40's take a swipe at it and miss this morning. I think I need to pick up some big bass cranks to show 'em. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was about 25 inches and dripping with slime. Yuck. At least it didn't take your lure. I've already lost a few Jackhammers and countless swim jigs to these dang things this year. I will say, I do enjoy catching the big girls, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHBuckets Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Bomb casted a mini magic worm on a weighted 3/0 swimbait hook - 20 lb braid to 8 lb leader (had just happily landed a 4+ lb LMB out of the rock bed), and this beast couldn't resist it - was thankful for a good leader knot and drag, because a few folks gathered to watch after hearing the drag go zzz zzzzz . Held it for a sec to smile for the camera, and back in they went - though I had some 'eater' comments from the peanut gallery.

JackstrawIII Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 I’m no T-Billy, but I caught my first tiger musky yesterday!! I was so exited that I forgot to measure, weigh, or even take a decent picture… but here he is. I’d say about 30-35”. Awesome fish. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 35 inch tiger is about the equivalent of a 45 inch pure strain muskie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in Merrimack for 1 year, the river and railroad tracks ran 75 yards from our backyard, i always walked the tracks along the river and wondered what kinda fish were in there. I was in my Harley Davidson phase of life after just gettin out of the service and wasnt into fishing at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But these are from Charles River. That dirty water. A lot prestigious institutions round here: 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User Bankbeater Posted June 30 Super User Share Posted June 30 I've been on a roll this year with the crappie. I got this one on a Pop-R cast straight out from the bank. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User ATA Posted July 1 Super User Share Posted July 1 One of those days that everything biting, The pictures is only what we brought home, Not including the 5 barracudas and 2 less than 28" sand bass that throw back to the ocean. Honestly at the end of trip I was shaking LOL, I pulled about 50 fish to the boat. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User T-Billy Posted July 1 Super User Share Posted July 1 They were chewin this morning. Chunky little 30.75" absolutely smoked a mid Medussa, and the 39.75" came on one of my homemade double 8's. I also lost one around 40" on the spinner, because I'm a dummy. I tried horsing it into the net with it's head out of the water, and it shook off. I know better, but did it anyway because... I'm a dummy. 😂🤦♂️ I also had a mid 40's smoke my spinner about 15' from the boat, in about 3' of water. It was an awesome bite to watch, but it didn't turn and I had to set the hook with the fish coming straight at me. I didn't get a good hookup and it came unbuttoned after a few big head shakes. So... 2 for 4 today. I had 8 other follows including another mid 40's. I found the bigger fish way in the back of a couple bays that have creeks entering them. Things are setting up like they were last August when I started chasing these slimy critters, so I'm hoping this deal is gonna hold up for awhile. I ran around and hit some other stuff today and eliminated a bunch of water. I feel like I have a solid game plan for tomorrow morning. 🤞 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
