We fit one last musky adventure in before the ice
takes over the lake this year. It wasn’t
easy though with 6-inches of snow on the boat ramp. We slid sideways down the ramp at first and then I kept
jack knifing the boat, but the worst part was pulling the boat back out of the
lake. I wasn’t sure we were going to
make it. I had to submerge the truck
into the lake to get a running start up the snow covered hill keeping the gas
pedal floored the whole way!
As for the fishing it was the same story as the past couple
times, just a bit colder and a few less fish showing up on the fish
finder. We used the same techniques that
have proven to work, dragging baits right over the tops of the underwater
ridges, however, this time it was Bobber John's turn to go toe to toe with a big green
torpedo. The beast taped out at 42-inches.
It was the only fish of the day, and the cold temps didn’t
give us a lot of motivation to tough it out, so we called it a year on Pineview. What a great fall catching a musky or two on each trip.
