just going to mash this all up together...hit it saturday with nj squatch and caught 18 lakers on a pickier bite. I probably dropped a half dozen fish which was not the norm so i destroyed that jig when i got home in ritualistic fashion.

hit it again sunday with jdtuna, instead of fluke fishing, and the bite was even pickier, but we managed to do just fine, boating 12. and JD crushed his pb laker by 3-4 inches (he landed a 29") we were joined/mugged by the infamous mugger that i've only heard legends about. it was good times. we even started pounding some tanker smallies! autumn is coming!

yesterday headed out muskie fishing only to get 2 follows and a good hit that snapped my apparently damaged braided line somewhere way up from the knot :mad: not sure how i didn't see it... gotta recheck my guides for micro damage.

anyway swung over again for more laker/smallie action just for 2.5 hours or so and put 4 decent lakers and a nice smallie in the boat with the same tactics to heal the muskie wounds a bit.

can't keep track of the pics but here are some better ones:
