C Lake

NumenOn the Water

Date:  5-8-16
Body of Water:  C Lake
Boat:  Numenon
With:  Alone
Target:  Muskellunge
Time:  6:45 AM - 9:30 AM
Conditions:  Clear and quiet; 50-60 degrees F; winds calm to inconsequential; water stained brown and 58-60 F

I was first on the water and enjoyed a quiet morning throwing bucktail spinners, jerk baits and a small Medussa along the weed line and over the weeds.  Crispy pond-leaf and musk grass were both green and abundant, but I encountered no fish.


What do I have to say about this?

It's always worth a shot to go muskie fishing, but unfortunately, this lake proved to be no more generous than M Lake the day before.  That's okay, though, because the day's quiet and subtle sunrise, as well as the entire weekend's abundant deer, turkeys, cranes, turtles and muskrats made the time on the water more than enjoyable.  Plus, I have to get back into Muskie Shape!  My back, neck, shoulders and hands are pretty sore after throwing the big stuff for the first few hours of the season.
