Reading about Muskie Guy's reliance on moon phase charts, I decided today would be a good time for some early morning topwater action. Had 4 muskie strikes on topwater baits, and finally boated my first topwater muskie ever. He hit it once and missed, sending my lure about 2 feet in the air in a huge splash. 15 feet later he came back and absolutely engulfed it; I saw the whole fish out of the water. Also happened to be my biggest muskie ever at 35". Took a couple poor pictures (I was by myself) and released him unharmed. Had another smaller one on but lost him.

Nice fishy Nik! I have to admit, I hardly ever toss a topwater out at Silver but your report makes me want to in a big way. Do you find walk the dog style work better than buzz bait style? I've had luck with firetiger and all black zerra spooks. How about you? I like the south end for top water also. Good work on the release and photo too. Second Muskie's Inc. meeting is June 21st in Federal Way, met Deadeyemark there. He's just one of many good guys (and gals, KUP) from the west side who are helping improve the muskie fishing. If you'd like the info on the next meeting I can send it your way. Be great to have more east siders there.
