Yeah I've been out 4 times so far this year I only go out for 4-6 hours at a pop but so far this year I've boated one 36 incher over in SD on April 23 and the last three outings up here I've raised 10 different fish but they were not very active. They all just kinda slowly swim behind the lure never flaring their gills or giving any hint that their a hot fish. Just 2 days ago I raised one that was very easily pusing the 50" mark so that got me even more excited. No takers yet though and all of the fish I raised have been on a black bucktail with an orange blade and that's it. It's sounds like every where in the state people are getting alot of follows but very few hook ups. Maybe next week when we're suppose to be getting a storm or two they may turn a little more aggressive before the storm hits. But anyway I've only been fishing for muskie for the past 2 years and I have boated6 that 36 this year, last year a 39, 40, 41 and 47, and the year before that a 40 also with countless follows and at least 5 hook ups with other fish that threw the hooks. So I don't think I'm doing all to bad considering I average about 4.5 hours of fishing every time I go out. Yeah fall when things start to cool down is prime big boy time but I'm also a hard core waterfowler so I have a few tough decisions once that season rolls around also. But I have it figured out the crappy days I'll go duck hunting and the nice bluebird days I'll go fishing since I don't get to many ducks on those days anyway I won't be missing much and almost all of my fish with the exception of one 40 incher came on clear calm no wind 70-85 degree bluebird days.
