Well, MM41 is in
the books and will go down as one tough bite. Tough fishing but 7
fish were caught so Mr. Musky did not win. Fishing started out
Wednesday by some, Thursday and Friday by others and very few fish
were seen so we figured it might be a tough time getting fish.
Water temperature was a little low in the low to mid 50’s with
some of the fish just finishing up spawning. Had a great cookout
on Friday evening and a swap meet where folks sold some of their
prize musky baits. Musky Pete even sold some his tried and proven
PeterTails to be used another day. The MM organizers purchased the
two Beckman nets from Mike Reiter at the swap meet to be used for
future raffle prizes. Lots of steaks grilling and a few suds being
consumed which set the stage for an early Saturday morning fishing
excursion by all.
Saturday morning saw NO fish caught on North & South Twin although
several fish were seen by the 32 participants. One fish was lost
at the boat by newcomer John Reynders which gave some hope that
Twin could possibly produce a fish or two for this MM. Thanks to
Musky Pete’s wife Kathy for the Spanish hamburger and Gary Borkowski for the potato salad along with all the rest of the
goodies everyone was full for the afternoon hunt. Everyone won a
door prize and Gary Winters won the custom made musky rod by
“Musky Pete” to top off the raffle with John Reynders winning the
Abu Garcia Record reel. Due to the hot action on Saturday morning
(NOT) most everyone left Twin for the afternoon searching out
better water.Some folks fished
Irving, Sand, Kentuck, Eagle Chain, Boot and a variety of other
lakes in the area trying to find the first fish for the board. As
it turned out all 7-- MM41 fish were caught on Saturday afternoon.
The biggest fish of MM41 was caught by John Reynders fishing with
his partner Mike Reiter on South Twin. The 40” fish hit a baby
depth raider to win MM41. No fish were caught on Sunday morning
however the fishing conditions were much better than the previous
day even though it was 37 degrees in the morning. We want to thank
those who showed up for the awards ceremony to recognize
participants who placed as well as those who coordinated this
event, thanks. A summary of MM41 fish is as follows. |
