How are you likeing the Predator? I hear they are amazing... I'm picking up a rod a Thorne tomorrow (hopefully it is done) it's no predator but a serious upgrade from what I have been throwing.

I'll be on Spirit for the 1st two weekends in July. Until then is all White Bear and Bald Eagle. Keep the reports coming.

I'll let you try it and decide what you think. But I love it. Well worth the $350, I'll be getting a 2nd by next year for plastics. I have a C series that a great rod to and wouldn't hesitate to get another. I have rods from Loomis, Croix, have had Fenwick Technas and HMX's and thrown alot of others, I think IMO Thornes are the top of the line.

We'll have to get together some morning and chase some skies.

Catch all of them.

Working on it,CPR rules. Hoping my pair of 48's from last fall are getting closer to 50 by this fall.

Hey bud, shoot me an email if you know of a good panny bite on West. muc33@yahoo dot com

Pannies?? They bite after ice out??? I'll keep my eyes and ears open for ya. I know of some great weed beds already on West.

Been out on Spirit today looking for some walleyes.... no luck. Plenty of perch out there to rip my bait apart. I'll be back out there tonight and again tomorrow.

Walleyes have been avoiding me to last couple weekends. I'll be on Spirit at sunup on Sunday, old Alumacraft tiller with 2 guys slinging baits. Spent Friday afternoon/evening on Spirit 4 pike was all most them right at moonrise.

Esox how has the fishing been on Spirit? I have not made it down since the 4th... Hopefully I will in the next couple weeks.

Well 3 weeks ago it was hot but then Mother Nature got in the way and it's slowed way down.

July 10 fished 5-7:30 landed a 39, blew one boatside in the upper 40's lost another.

July 11 I couldn't get out but my partners landed 6 between 39 and 49

July 12th we got 3, 39, 43 (mine) and a 50.

July 13 2 45's.

July 18th nothing for us saw 1 nice one caught.

July 19 nothing again.

July 25, 34 for me

July 25 34.5 for my boat partner.

July 31 34" Silver was all we could muster.

dang... sound slike the bite was hot. We'll have to hook up one time when I get down there, Spirit is unlike any other lake I fish and I have struggled to locate skis out there. I've got a busy Aug but plann to get down there pleanty in the fall for some fish/pheasant combos. keep me posted I love the reports

Taking my daughter out in the morning for her first muskie hunt. Had her out casting the Curado on the 7'6 Croix she did great for her first time casting a baitcaster. Hope we can at leat get her a follow, she's not totaly beliving they will follow up to the boat. We'll be on West for the early morn bite.
