Fatpat and I made it up at 7 tonight. We launched out of Terrys Harbor, no ice and the launch is in great shape and the water is 3 feet deep all the way out to the lake.

We fished near Terrys in 5-10 fow pulling husky jerks in perch and firetiger colors. Shown is a 27 1/8, 27 1/2, 27, and 2 17’s and a 20 for the table. These fish were FAT and HEALTHY!!! We missed several fish and lost 4 25+ inchers at the boat. Pat and I both tangled with something huge for several minutes but ended up losing our lures. Maybe a muskie? We stayed out until midnight.

Lots of talk on the marine radio, people seemed to be catching lots of pigs, as were people near us. We even heard reports of another 52 inch muskey being caught!!!

Good report but that cig needs to go. Looks foolish taking a pic with a cig in the mouth.

Fishing isnt a passtime its a obsession!

Nice job on the fish guys! Guess that makes up for the poor weather at the GTG eh Nate?

It sure was nice on the water up here last night and I’m sure it was great down there as well! Again, nice report and pics.

Nice fish.
Sounds like it was a pretty good time. I was supposed to go last weekend, but never made it. Wish I would have.

Let's GET EM!

It sure would crack those Musky guys if the state record was broke by a Walleye troller ” title=”” class=”bbcode_smiley” />
