This is the first time I've had anything worthwhile to report...so here's my first post. Went to Pineview @ 6:00 a.m. on Monday with 2 friends...first time there fishing for all of us, and within 5 minutes on the water my buddy had boated a muskie! Fish of 10,000 casts...for him it wasn't even 10 casts, lucky [url "mailto:b@#%"]b@#%[/url]*. It was caught on a Perch colored jitterbug. A couple hours later I hooked up to one using a lizard just reeling it in real slow, he followed it all the way to the boat and didn't strike so i opened the bail for about 2 seconds and let it fall, closed the bail, felt the fish, and set the hook. But as my luck would have it my line broke after just a few cranks, maybe because i wasn't using a leader, or i accidentally had the drag too tight. Ten minutes after that my other friend had one throw the hook using the same lizard...almost had that one in the net. Pretty good day considering none of us had ever muskie fished. I attatched a pic of the one we actually boated. Going wiper hunting tonite and muskie hunting in the morning. I'll keep everyone posted.
