We spend a lot time looking for these brutes.

Now we can look good doing it, with our Lindsay Muskie

Hockey jerseys.

Re: Calling all Muskie Maniacs


Lowell what the guys at the Muskie club do is, they put their biggest fish as

their # on the back of the jersey. My biggest is a 46 1/2" but I think I'll wait till

I get one over 50". Yes a lot of my Muskie baits are as big as hockey sticks, LOL.

Re: Calling all Muskie Maniacs

Here I thought someone was gettn Musky fever. Temps are just about right.

OhioLowell.. Alum Creek is loaded with them gators. Biggest for me last year was a 46 with a nice girth.

I fish alot for muskys. ClearFork is another great spring area to try. Put the big sticks away for now. Use smaller lures in 5-10 foot of water.

Coves are great this time of year at Alum. As you can see i am Southern Ohio Ridgerunner..

Re: Calling all Muskie Maniacs

gon,

I'm actually headed to Clear fork this June. I hope to land my first then. We'll be at Mohican state forest for a few days and I've already told my wife plan on me being gone for at least one whole day...lol


Any pointers?


Thanks,
Lowell

I think if I were to have a jersey that read "Ohio Lowell" 45",,,,people would laugh.....:/

lol..

If I can get away from work at that time, you bet. Boss is a jerk you know.

..as I recall..I think you better get ahold of "queer eye for the straight guy" on the paint thing... the lake association might not like the 'improvements' I'd make to the old gas chamber .. d:)

If I can make it up to the Pete. I'll run up for a bit.. fish or not .. maybe just to see folks. When time nears I'll have a better grasp of what's going on around here.

BTW - Musky run is on here in the Madison area..

Re: Calling all Muskie Maniacs

Thanks for the invite gon!

I live here in Brown county not too far from you. I'm gonna hit Clear Frok pretty hard this summer. I've heard that Rockie Fork is stocked with skies as well. (not the numbers that you mention though) Ceaser's Creek also is stocked.

Maybe some time we can get together and drown some chubs!

No worries! I always travel with a tourniquite (sp)!!lol

I've had to try to cut trebble hooks out of my uncle's face before with a pair of finger nail clippers.. It didn't work too well! Now I always travel with the proper emergency "equiptment"!

I'll give you a shout when we're getting ready to head north.

If you fish with Gonfishn you will need metal pants and a kevlar helmet. Be real careful because he casts left handed.

Don't forget your gas mask.

And if he mentions stink bait, just start running.
