Morning Bite

We have been fishing most afternoons latley and catching some fish and a few nice one too, But like every year at this time the best bite seems to be in the morning. The guys that are out there early are doing much better. The muskies seem to be on top and much more active in the morning. When the water warms up a bit, the afternoon bite will turn on and that is the best because the bite will start earlier in the evening and last longer. This seems to be a trend I have noticed over the years. Look at your fishing logs and see if you notice this trend too. Give it a few more weeks and see the difference.
Alot of guys are fishing the dumps now and doing well. We went a little east by the wine glass and did pretty good the other night, caught some nice fish. I heard the weeds blew in last night due to the north wind. I guess we will have to wait for the south wind to clean things up a little.
I have to pull my boat out of the water for the weekend, putting new fish finder and radar on so I wont be out. Keep ya posted when I get back in, should be around the first of the week good luck

Muskie Slam 07

Lake St. Clair muskie fishing is beginning to heat up. The 2007 musky slam was held this weekend at Metro Beach. The fish had to be 51 inches or better to enter and those kind of fish are hard to come by. There were only 2 fish entered the winner was 53.25 inches, second was 51.25. I am not sure of the lucky guys' names yet, but when I do I will post them or if any of the readers know please let me know. It was a beautifull weekend, light wind from the southeast,and sunny for 2 days. A little weedy on Sunday which made for a long working day, but the muskies did bite. Aboard the Premonition (my boat) we caught 14 muskies 4 bass and one walleye we lost 8 other muskies, that was on Saturday. Sunday we only fished till 2:00 and we boated 6 muskies and lost 3. We kept pretty busy for 2 days out there staying on top of the finickey muskies.
Some of the other guys did quite well also. My good friend Matt M. was slaying the muskies. Matt is an exceptional muskie fisherman definetly one of the best out there. If you see the boat called the HUNTRESS you are in the right spot. Shelly, his wife, knows how to pick the baits though, she told Matt to run one of my lures and they ended up catching a fish over 30 pounds, their biggest for the weekend. Matt, I just want to say thanks again for your great heart.
Another lucky fisherman was Dr. Jim M. Doc only fished for a few hours on Saturday, he threw out one of my 9 dollar bass lures and caught a 31 pounder. Doc has been fishing muskies for a few years now and he is really stepping up to the plate. I am sure you will be hearing more about him in the future.
Another top dog on the lake is Capt. Mike P. Mike also put a hurting on some of those muskies as well, I'm not sure exactly how he ended up for the weekend, but he was giving his crew a good day. Mike runs Muskie Mania Charters, a good guy and a good captain. He did tell me he was catching some fish on my lures as well.
I will be hitting the lake again tommorrow afternoon and takeing out a charter wednesday. Let ya know what happens then.

june 19 07 muskie up date

Muskie fishing has been a little slow starting this year, pretty much like every year at this time. Opening week end we only ended up with 5 fish boated but we did catch a 50.5 incher a little over 30lbs, we did release it. had a few other trips since then, catching a couple a day, one day only a strike. things took a turn for the better yesterday we fished out front of the 400 club heading to huron point about 12 to 15 ft. of water, made the troll back and forth, end up with 10 in the boat and we lost 4 so it was a good day. The guys were happy. Going out tommorrow on a search mission, lets see if we can find them. good luck
