Muskie Fishing at Spring Lake North, near Peoria IL

36 Incher #1

36 Incher #2

34.5 Incher

Guess What ??

That pattern I mentioned from January 20, 2006 is still working...(I'd love to tell you what our new "pattern" is, but until Ace and Hawg Czar get a chance to drag one in the boat, I have to keep it to myself. Sorry.)

Mom and I hit the water about 10 AM. The water was 39 degrees, clarity about 1 1/2 to 2 feet at best (not as clear as last trip out). Things got going very quickly. We ended up with 7 muskies in the boat, and had one follow, and one missed strike, and one spit me out at the boat (note to self: don't stand in the muskie net when you have a fish on, it makes it hard for the netter to use it, and the fish will spit you at the boat while you're dancing around trying to get out of it).

If you get a chance, get down to this lake !!!!!
