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.
