2022?

Anyone?

 

We’re fishing the Bemidji Chapter Muskies Inc tourney tomorrow.  Can’t sleep tonight of course so I may as well post.

 

I haven’t seen ANY of the lakes we’re allowed to fish (5) through a muskie fisherman’s eyes yet.  My partner is new to the area and has at least some time on the water.  We’re at least both on the board for the year though.  He got a 47 and I got a 22! 

 

We’re keeping an eye on the deep water bite but with the sudden warm up and wind coming the switch to the shallows can’t be ruled out!

 

We’d just like to boat one anyway.  Hoping the dinner afterwards is cool.  Here’s to new experiences!!

1 in the boat.  Mission accomplished for my bud.  Hope I’m the lucky one next.

Looks fun. Maybe this will be my year to get a big ski,  I just don’t fish them much.  It’s been 20 years since my last Canada trip when I got a 25 lb northern..  Heading to Vermilion in a week so who knows.  Good luck, I hope you get yours.

That one was good enough for 3rd place today.  A 46 won it.  It was nice to walk away with a couple hundred bucks and a pretty good take on raffle prizes at the dinner afterward.

 

The storms through the area made an impact on everyone but it was a really good day regardless. 
 

5 muskies boated among 46 anglers if I remember the angler total correct.

I have been out four times this season since mid July.  I caught some smaller ones the first couple trips, but Saturday I finally got into some larger fish with my Father.  The bigger ones are tiger muskies in the mid 30 inch range.  I had another one on that made these look small.  We got a good look at it when it surfaced and spit the hook with a head shake.  Appeared to be 45+ inches, which is enormous for a hybrid.

Lol he broke a muskie drought that had started in 2006.  16 years without a legal muskie!
