When they set the nets, how long do they leave them out? Are these nets marked so nobody runs into them. Would they have set them up Friday and left them out over the weekend?
They usually set the net for two days. Ex. If they set Monday they'll pull Wednesday.
Yes the nets are marked.
They may have set them Friday but I don't have the details.
Down there and they brought in 3 or 4 nets (8 total nets) 11 or 12 muskies, biggest I think was 44".5. Ton of cats and some nice walleye biggest 28". There going out Wed & Fri. When I left the other Steve was going out there with them to Gator Alley, be interesting to see what they get. Sara Thomas was out there. They have along way to go to get 120!!
1. I'm the farthest thing from a PRO at anything…
2. No seriously I'm bad at everything I ever try to do, I'm especially bad at Muskie fishing, which is why I do it.
3. Yes, My good friend and fellow Muskie fisherman is the CO for Lenawee county, he secured permission ahead of time for me to ride with him on patrol and play with some fish.
4. Gator Ally had no muskies, in fact the last 4 nets had no muskies at all. So only 11 fish caught, mostly untagged and all but one under 40"
5. The techs that had experience with Hudson seemed to think based on what they saw today that it was too early, the fish they did get were clean and prespawn and the water was only 44 on Saturday when they set nets. They will be back on wed and fri. Grumbling that they may have to come back next week…
6. The Channel Catfish population and size structure is off the chain.
