Any one else still fishing??

[MURPHFISHER]

Hey everyone, I have been too busy to post in quite some time. With the cold front moving in tonight I decided to get out for the first time in a while. WOW what a good idea that was...... Let me know if anyone else has been practicing some CPR....

Nice musky....your usual spot I presume? With the cold coming the lake should spit out a couple fish like that, but no one seems to persue them there. Again....nice fish.

Where exactally in southeastern minnesota did you get that??

[Sarge]

Thats one healthy looking fish!!! Congrats, how long?

[MURPHFISHER]

Yes Crappie, caught at my usual spot on lake Zumbro The fish was aprox 37 inches. I did not want to keep it out of the water very long so I did not measure it very accurate though.

Nice fish Murph. Not too many people know musky fishing like that actually exists so close to home.

I notice the chartruese crank. Have you had success with other color patterns or lures? What type of retrieve are you using with the crankbait? THanks.

[MURPHFISHER]

I have had successes with a blue/silver rapala as well. Same size. I was using a variety of retrieves, slow, stop and go, very fast, and jerk. I find that a fast retrieve bouncing off the bottom (rocks) has produced most of my fish. May be we will meet up down there some time. I try to spend as much time as possible on the Zumbro in the fall when everyone else is hunting. Introduce yourself as a FMer if we run into eachother....
