Thread: Musky encounter on Green

Nice meeting you this morning. We also got our limit today but it took us a little longer.Took my sister in laws boyfriend who had never been fishing other than in a pond and he had a ball. Most fish came from 12 to 18 fow fishing 12 to 16 ft deep.

The fight was amazing and can see why guys spends days trying to catch one of these beautiful fish but never again will I lay one down in my boat...slimed me worse than a catfish.

I'm glad you guys got on some fish this morning. I found a bunch of baitfish about 15 feet down in 28-40 feet of water and the crappie were stacked up past Butler. Most of "the crowd" was fishing the 16-18ft flats and I never left the deep water. When I found the bait, I found the fish. Nothing real big, just good 10-11 inch fish. I switched to another type of crank for walleyes by the dam but never caught a crappie down there-never saw any shad balls for that matter either, just a bunch of gar surfacing.
