Fishing was great today. Got my limit between 7-10:15. No sonar, started at 3 colors, ended around 6. Something big struck hard around 8:00 and snapped my 6lb. leader even with a snubber, maybe it was Nessie. :) After putting on a back-up lure I fished for about an hour with no strikes so I switched locations and depth a few times before I found a nice school. Fishing picked up after I got some distance from the other boats that came into the area. On a sportsmanship note- PLEASE CAN YOUR BUTTS. Several times cigarette butts floated by my boat. Keep our fisheries clean.

Hmmmm, according to the overview on Merwin, tiger muskies were stocked there in 1995.

Mayhaps that's what snapped your line?

Might have been a tiger but who knows. Good call on the cleanup

I'd bet money that it was a tiger muskie that broke you off. Read some of the past reports for Merwin.

Mack.....When you are using "colors" about how deep does that mean? Are they 10ft. or 20 ft. ? What were you using wedding rings, or lures?
I will be up at the lake all next week , hope to see you!.............Kokonuts

All I know is I love getting hits from fish like that.
