Pleasant Creek-Fished 5/5

Steady wiper action trolling shad colored JSR-5s over humps in deeper water; that was about the only pattern that emerged yesterday morning.

Rugby nailed a fat bass on one of the trolling passes in 20′ of water that seemed out of place; however, pitching cranks and spinnerbaits in the wood saw no action-so maybe she was where she was supposed to be?

The highlight of the day, and perhaps the year for me, was the catch of my first muskie ever. The 40″ brute nailed a JSR-5 that was intended more for a wiper or eye while my musky tackle was lying on the deck of the boat, but hey, we’ll take it! Fighting a 40″ muskie on walleye/bass tackle is a pretty dicey affair!

Water temp was 59 degrees. All fish released.

Any size to the wipers joe?

If I remember correctly, the largest was between 16-17″. There are bigger ones in there, I know, I’ve caught some over 22″, and boy do they fight!

Thanks Joe, pound for pound i’ve heard they fight harder then whitebass do so they have to put up one heck of a fight.

nice work Joe. It’s about time you caught some fish

Amen Andy, that dude was getting cranky . He put a whuppin on me that day though. As they say he was due.

Hey, if you want to get a couple boats and chase ski’s on PC or walters on the Res let us know. Sometimes several heads are better than one in figuring a pattern out.

No kidding Andy…

As they say, “every dog has his day…”

Fished Pleasant Creek last night and seen some beautiful muskies cruising around the shallows as we were chasing specs. Fun night great weather bad bugs………
