August Derby

Another awesome tournament for Lake St. Clair muskie fishermen. The fish were biting and BIG fish were caught. A 41.9 pound muskie was caught Saturday evening. This is the largest fish ever to be weighed in by the MOMC. Goes to show you there are some big ones out there. There was a fish a little over 33 pounds and another a little over 32 pounds entered as well. The muskie fishing is really heating up and October is still to come.
My boat caught 12 and loss 3 on Saturday and Sunday we boated 9 and lost 3. We had one fish on Saturday that was 50 plus inches and a little over 30 pounds. No large fish on Sunday. The wind was blowing pretty good Sunday morning and the fish were snapping, as soon as the wind died down, the fish stopped biting. I like a good chop for fishing muskies, it seems to get there appetite going. The hot colors for us were the dark frogs and the black perch. Bucktails got a few too.
I will be out Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. Look for the pictures coming soon.
Good luck to ya all and see ya out there.

Awesome fishing

Lake St. Clair muskie fishing has been awesome this week. By far the best of the year, Monday we boated 9 and lost 6, Tuesday was 14 boated and lost 8, Wednesday we boated 18 and lost 6, Thursday we boated 9 and lost 5. Today we boated 9 and lost 6. I believe the word got out to all and the fisherman came by the herds. There were boats everywhere last night, that really changed the fishing, they moved out. Today we rarely even marked any in the area we have been fishing. I moved too. I found a nice school of fish and worked them over, surprise they started to bite and the good thing no other boats, the fish were not riled up. I have heard some good reports on some fish being caught through out the lake. So the lake is starting to produce some good numbers and size.
I am off for the weekend, but back at it monday. See ya out there
