murray even though it will be busy at it usually is on the opener. Good thing is most of the people i see fishing it on openers i never see the rest of the season.
Ill be there early. I wanna stay at my cousins for the wkend if they are gonna be home so i can fish sunday morning as well without driving home
Austin was an option with the smooth Muskie slayer Kid Coulson but i'm scared to even fish it after this winter. Does anyone know how many fish have been speared at Austin this winter? I really enjoy this tiny lake when LSC is not an option but it's tough to travel that far only to wonder how many fish have been harvested the last 2 years….
Sorry, I'm not used to smaller lakes. Prior to really diving into Muskie Fishing fulltime I've spent years and years on LSC and Detroit River. I'm used to flat calm clear water one second and then 3-4 footers the next. I'm used to Muskie fishing while big cruisers or cigarette boats fly by me close enough to hook the rich daddy's kid driving the boat with 4 other guys and zero women. Heck, last year we had somewhere in the number of 20 real pirate ships running up the Shipping Channel dressed like real pirates. They do it every year. When we run between fishing spots it's sometimes it's anywhere from 4-11 mile run. So Austin most lakes feel small to me but I love'em and it's always a good break from the chaos sometimes out on the mighty LSC.
Sawnezy,
I know your were joking.. I was just making fun of some of the meatheads we see out there in the summer. Go to the launch on a Saturday morning in the middle of summer and you could literally pull up a lawn chair, take a seat with a couple beers and it's more entertaining than a comedy stand up show. Last year, we did some night fishing and we were going out when folks were coming in and it was amazing how many people were intoxicated trying to retreive their monster boats. It was funny yet scarey! Or the group that docks the boat, unloads everything on the dock, ties up and takes 20 minutes to put the boat back on the trailer. I've seen guys smash into docks, fall in and back up too far with truck only to get stuck. It really is a show come summer time.
It's also refreshing sometimes to fish smaller lakes and not have to burn tanks of gas or fight rough water. Plus, come early summer the mayfly hatch is really unbearable! You boat, body and gear is completely covered with mayflys every inch. It is so massive though that you could always get away from a crowd and fish tons of locations that have fish. I love LSC and it really is a gorgeous body of water. You just have to be fully prepared for the worst and enough power and length to get home safely because storms come on fast once crossing the lake and most times you can outrun them and find a safe harbor or beach your boat somewhere in US waters.
Does anyone know how many fish have been taken this year at Austin? I'm sure Bill has the scoup on what's been happening out there this winter?? Bill, what have you heard???
I agree with the drunk or idiotic people taking forever to get their boat out of the water, but that same thing happens wayyy too often at murray.
Most of the time murray must be avoided on the wkends, or even some wkdays people just tie up their boat or sit at the launch strapping up their oversized speed boat for 30 minutes.
As far as Austin, i read somewhere that more fish were taken out again this year. There were a few posts about it somewhere on here. I also read it on other forums i think
