I gave my good friend Fish Talker (Ray) a call this morning to see if he wanted to hit the water. Ray is a Bass guy but his Ranger is in the shop this week. I told him we would be Musky casting and he almost didn't go. But seeing as he already cut his grass 3 times this week he decided to ride along.
We hit the water around 10:30 and fished till around 3:30. Fished the Salt river area in 7 to 8 foot of water with the water temp at 73 degrees. The wind was not bad to start so I threw on a RickJames top water lure and started casting. Hit the first Musky after about 1/2 hour. On the very next cast after releasing the first fish I get another one to go on the top water. What a thrill, 2 top water fish on 2 consecutive casts.
After that the wind started blasting so we switched over to bucktails. We managed to get 2 more musky on the bucktails with Ray landing the largest fish of the day. What a trip that fish was. It hit next to the boat and ran under the boat and was jumping on the other side. Great job getting that one in, Ray.
I had a great day Ray, lets slime the boat again real soon, TEK.
Nice job Tek, and gorgeous fish you got there! It was probably rough with those strong gusty winds today, and again you guys pulled it off nicely. Congrats!
What time did you guys catch the second two? I had to leave a bit after 2:00. I managed a small pike right after I saw you guys, but it looks like I left before the second bit came on. Story of my life. lol
