I started this season thrilled to be able to chase smallies on the legendary LSC. Possibly big'un too! Then I found this forum and began to chase my beloved smallies & learning the lake thanks to all the great advice here.
I was quite happy with that until I started loosing lures to the toothy critters. After 10 or so rattlin' raps disappearing I started to think about them toothy things that never liked to give my lures back. So I started paying more attention to the posts about'em, looked on youtube for vid's, found some cool articles online and even bought a few books. Now I can't get these [email protected] fish out of my head. If I'm on the lake all I can think about is chasin'em. Smallies have now become something to catch when my arms are ready to fall off from casting for 'skies or when I have someone in the boat that isn't prepared for the rigors of muskie casting.
What happened?
What is it about these [email protected] fish that is so.......... addicting!
The gear is expensive as h3ll, they're hard to catch, etc, etc....
WHY, WHY have I forsaken my once beloved smallies for these..these devil fish!
I just don't get it. Smallies are fun, pretty easy to catch and a whole lot cheaper to get gear for yet they've taken a backseat to muskies........
