Re: Gator Tourney Tonite

I agree with muskyone. The only musky I ever hooked was with a wax worm and a flu flu. Fish went after the bobber. Maybe put a stinger hook in the bobber.

Re: Gator Tourney Tonite

All right..Who put the curse pin in the musky doll last nite..Not nice.<br /><br />Partner could not come so I was asked if i would take a new member. To go into that A new thread will be needed. Was kinda like fishn with a woman. No offense LadyFish your a rarity for sure.<br /><br />Nada on the Musky..To busy untangling your so thought of braided line..You know where I am at there..Although I did not lose any lures..<br /><br />I am on the hunt here for a lure put out by storm..Its called the lightening Shad..Can't find any here..If ya got and want to trade I am there.<br />Man the warrior in these parts are destroying em..<br /><br />All in all beautiful night..Fished til 3am..only three muskies boated over 30"..BTW glad your back FH..not the same without your humor here..<br />Barlow.Agree on the 9' slugs..Late fall with a slow roll works well.

Sorry to hear things didn't go better gonfishn. Your fishing partner was indeed lucky to learn from an expert like yourself.

Re: Gator Tourney Tonite

Hi GF, I didn't have much luck this weekend at all. Caugt 3 tiny bluegill I kept for bait. Did catch a turtle on one of them. Other than that, nothing. Pleasant Hill is down a foot right now, If it drops another 8 to 10", I'll have to pull my boat out. Surpose to rain all next week. Hopefully that will extend my season a little longer.<br /><br />Sorry to hear you didn't have much luck either. Still beats workin....
