Pineview Report (9-26)

[Teroy]

[size 2]Got to Pineview at about 0615 with my neighbor ready to get into some musky. Launched the boat at about 0630 and in the process Old Coot and AF DAN show up. As I was getting the boat started Coot yells at me that I have a musky coming towards the boat. I look over my shoulder and sure enough. Here comes about a 30-35 incher coming straight towards the boat. As he gets closer I can see he has a meal in his mouth. He finally gets with in range for me to see clearly through the dark and he's got a 12 inch catfish in his mouth (looked like a dog carrying a newspaper LOL). He comes about a foot from the boat, checks me out for a few seconds as I stand their and drool, turns around and disappears. WHAT A SIGHT though!!!!!!!!!!! We finally hit the water and cruise the entire shore line starting at the private club docks. Just around browing point the drag starts screaming on my partners reel....... A carp, foul hooked. I left my line in the water while I get the carp unhooked. We kick the boat in gear and my drag starts sceaming, damn snagged. Knew I shouldnt have left the line in. So I start jerking and nothing. We put the boat in reverse and track the line and it free's up. Now I was under the impression I was snagged but as I get the lure back to the boat I remember, my J-11 jointed Rapala floats so there is no way I was snagged!!!!!! Possible a Musky saw my lure floating in the water like a dead or injured fish and decided to give her a taste???? Never know I guess. We snagged two more carp and that was all for the day. Trolled between 2.5 and 3 mph and the water temp was 59 when we arrived and 61 when we left. [/size]
