Oxford Furnace Musky
I had a sneaking suspicion that I could get a musky to bite at the Furnace on the new moon....and I was right. Got on the lake at 9am and landed a true strain within 90 minutes. I didn't get a measure, but I'm guestimating at 36 inches. Let me know if anyone thinks otherwise. They just started tossing true strains in here in 2008, so these fish are growing fast. This guy hit a 6 1/2-inch, perch-colored jerkbait in 5-feet of water off a drop-off into 10 over in a weedbed. Water temp was 37 degrees. Not a monster, but a good fish and I say Goddamn, IT'S ONLY FEBRUARY!!!!

Re: Oxford Furnace Musky
Indeed Herring. I hope you don't hate me for blowing up your spot. The way I see it, anyone looking for musky knows where they are and anyone not looking for musky is going to get so frustrated with trying to catch one that they're not going to be fishing there that long anyway. The Furnace is a tough nut to crack and 99% of the people who fish there walk away with there tail between their legs scratching their heads.

Re: Oxford Furnace Musky
And Hammer, I was working the Phantom painfully slow. It's a glide bait, but it doesn't sink very fast. If you just give it occasional twitches, it darts and hangs in the water column and makes a perfect target. Great coldwater bait.
