HOME AND HOME RESULTS

My bud Kert and I fished pretty hard this weekend. 3 fish caught, 1 lost at boat side and 2 other big fish follow.

Pretty awesome. We managed a 47", 43" and a 32".. man what an awesome day.

2 fish helped Project Noble Beast ...

FIGURE EIGHT DELIGHT

Got out today with my good bud Kert for a day fish on the Upper Ottawa river

After an interesting start that included running out of gas in my buds boat, having to be towed to shore, takeing a cab to the other launch(where the truck was) , driving back to the boat, pulling the boat out of the water to go gas up because the marina was out of gas,,,, we were back on the water set up to cast a weed bed.

A controlled approach gave us the best opportunity to cast the weed bed effectively. Not far into it I had a follow on a Cowgirl. Immediately I went into the figure 8 and the fish followed for at least a minute when it finally inhaled the bait directly under the boat and what a fight. Heavy pulls, headshakes and short runs. This fish wasn't giving up without a fight and completely destroyed my cowgirl. Almost in the net it decided to flip and with hooks in the net already it was a scramble to get it back in the net without losing it. My first figure eight Muskie in many years!!

A fine 47" male that took a couple minutes to recover but still swam off strong. A couple cast later the same thing happened but a couple jumps and it was gone. A smaller fish but still very aggressive.

With the wind dropping and sun beating us we called it a day. A good day for sure!!

Sept 02 bait washing

It looked promising and talk was we were going to boat some 'skies but the Mighty O had other plans. No fish , no follows, no pictures...today was as dead as I've ever seen it, but I still had a great time on the water with Sean Landsman (Project Noble Beast) and Colin Mckeown (New Fly Fisher). I think we cast about a couple thousand times to no avail. But we took in a beauty sunset and had some very entertaining conversations.
