Fishing Report 10/3

[Scott McKee]

Fished solo yesterday from 2:00 PM to 10:00 PM.  I mostly cast and trolled (big shock) in UN3, 2, 13 and 12 (another big shock).  Managed two small muskies.  The first was a high twenties caught on a 5" jointed Wiley Musky King in silver shiner.  The little guy was positioned in front of a small hump.  I had 65=feet of line out, trolling at 7.0 MPH.  The second fish, a 34", hit at 8:24 PM behind the humps in the Triangle on a sucker straight Depthraider back 80-feet.  I was going 4.5 MPH.  I was on the phone with Chris Kempf when the fish hit.  I should have put him on speaker phone and gave him a play-by-play.  I am going to pay Chris to call me on a regular basis in November.  I may chat with him for the duration of the Wittek as well.  Both fish never saw the net and swam away very strong.

I cast for more than half of the trip and didn't see a musky.  I couldn't even manage a bass or perch follow.

Good luck everyone.
