No Clouds, No Problem!

Early May seen Ryan and Jim take their now annual two-day trek in search of tiger muskies and big bass.  The weather they would encounter for both days was extremely similar in that there was total bluebird skies without a single cloud in sight for two days.  Many times when it is bright blue skies such as this with very little humidity in the air, the fishing can be extremely challenging and even paltry, but Jim and Ryan defied these myths on this outing.  Day one seen mostly an east wind that blew fairly strong at times while day two there were light to moderate east winds. Water temperature was 51 to 56° for the two days.  On day one the anglers used a combo of hard baits and plastics to catch 40 fish including a tiger musky that weighed 5.31# and a largemouth bass that was 4.89#.  The remainder of their catch were other largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, perch and rockbass.  They had some sandwiches, great conversations, and seen many birds on this day. Day two was another chilly morning as set out.  The anglers figured the puzzle out once again on this day as they caught 45 fish total including rockbass, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass and perch. The biggest largemouth was 4.18# and biggest smallmouth was 4.18#.  Aside from the one musky they caught on day one, they had a few more follow ins, but no more were hooked.  The two friends once again enjoyed many great stories and some Subway Hoagies out on the lake on day two.  All around another great trip with many quality fish and many memories for Jim and Ryan!
