At least you got onto some fish. Bass are always fun. We went to Willard Fri but found the campground full. The S. campground had some spots, for more - and a buggy parking lot - convinced the boyz we should hit Newton. So after way too much driving, we got camp set up. Met up with Jdawg and his posse, and opted not to try launching that night, due to the wind, the hour, the chill.
Morning was a calm smooth welcome. Had some musky follows off the bat, but not takers. Saw quite a few, but still no love. Bama Boy had been working it Fri, then came by Sat morning too as we headed up lake.
Chased the bass waaay up-lake, but only saw some minnows. . Didn't seem to find the perch, and the whole topology is so different this time of year. I'll have to hit some fall GPS waypoints this year.
We did see a mess of musky Sunday morn. Had one follow the lure RIGHT to my feet at shore - No more room to play...but he was just looking at it . . . .heart rushing, check, musky looking cool, yet mysterious, check.
Then I saw two, and had more follows, chases.
Later they came right up to the campspot and hung out - think they liked the smell or bacon. Jdawg actually got some hookups on 'em. We had as many as 3 musky at a time cruising by.
Sorry, already hijacked your post enough. Wish I had hit Willard, but I'd really love to get the new boat rigged and rolling for that bigger water. Though if the marina turns on, guess I'd better get a reservation!.
