Lake of the Woods Muskies
« on: Oct 30, 2006, 07:45 PM »
The past weekend was the annual "deer hunt/pull the docks weekend" at a buddys island on LOTW. I took off on Thursday afternoon to open up the cabin and get in a full day of hardcore musky fishing  before the deerhunters arrived Friday after work. I knew there wouldn't be alot of time to fish on Saturday and Sunday.

I had the nicest day on Friday..... spectacular scenery, not a soul around, lake like glass, cruising in the new boat, tunes playing ..... and 3 muskys. Weather looked iffy at first but turned out to be not so bad later with the right warm clothes. No cameraman or netman but I got decent pics by clamping camera to consol windshield.

Day began like ......



But got better  ;) .......




Saturday was spent pulling docks out of the water, gutting deer, working on dehydration prevention, etc. but Sunday I was able to talk a deerhunter into a couple hours in the boat and got another nice musky plus a great (for LOTW) pike.....



A couple quick days in town and I'm heading back for a last kick at a 50" before I have to get busy whacking deer myself. God I love fall musky fishing!!!!!!!!!!!

man - o -man, I'd take a day like that any day.  ;D Those are some very awesome fish. Only wish we had that kind of musky and pike fishing around here. Looks like you had the lake all to yourself too. WTG on an awesome day on the water.  ;D

Fishing isn't a matter of life or death, it's much more important than that!

I live with FEAR everyday, and sometimes she lets me go fishing!

LOTW is an absolutely amazing fishery for them big toothies. Hopefully I will get a chance to make it out there within the next few years.

Chasing them pigs with fins!

AK isn't coming soon enough....can't wait to fight with 1 grizzly for 100,000 fish instead of 1,000 snaggers for 10.

shakespeare tiger rods are somewhat cheap..lotta guys use them to troll. Glass rods are better but I'd get one universal rod for trolling and casting. Tackle Industries makes a great rod from 7'6 up to 9' I like the 8'6 myself.. Shimano Compre is also a good cost friendly choice. If you want quality go St. Croix!!! Haha.. Matched with a Shimano reel!
