Skunksville? 4/28/2013

[Mikeps326]

Me, my brother, and cousin went to monksville yesterday from 2 to 8 and lets just say we had a great day! Wind was howling which didn't stop the fish biting, but when the wind died down it got better. Biggest fish of the day was a 24 inch pikeral which was caught by my brother. When that fish hit the bait we all thought it was a Muskie. Some of the bass were fat ready to lay the eggs I guess. One bass had a fish bite around his whole body. My cousin got a nice 14 inch black crappie. My biggest learning experience was don't eat a candy bar while fishing. I didn't even get to bite the candy bar when I got surprised from a nice bass. Only 3 fish left to catch on monksville- Muskie, walleye, and smallmouth. Any advice?

I see you got the photo thing down. Remember you can do like 6 photos per post. take your time, you are over the 1st hurdle. Nice fish also !!! Thanx for taking the time and posting.

[Mikeps326]

Yea flyboy1 you guys were fishing right by us and that's a great catch and AndyS yea I got part of it down just wouldn't let me upload more than one picture.

I think it will, you just need to take your time. You can always do testing under the non fishing section. Contact tech support via PM to Wilson if further help is needed.

Looks like you guys had nice action. I've had banner days there, but its a tough nut to crack. As for catching Smallies there, I'll see you there in about 2 months, say maybe between 8pm and midnight or so. Dont forget your topwater lures...

shouldn't have said anything... people would have thought you were being cool catching fish while rocking a cigar :p

[Mikeps326]

Lmao only smoke a cigar after a great day of fishing.

Skunk city sounds like a plan we will def have to meet at monskville. Any channel cats there?

I believe they have been stocked in there, though I have never fished for them. The state has been stocking Lake Trout in there the passed few years as well.

As for my nemesis, the infamous Monksville Walleye, I have only witnessed 2 or 3 come out of there and NONE have been on the end of my line :confused: .

[Mikeps326]

I'd like to try to even catch a lake trout but the Muskies must be having a good meal with them and maybe the walleye.

Great res! Nice catch. Awesome place to fish.
