[cool][#ff0000][size 1]YEEEEEE HAWWWWW! [#0000ff]Way to go, Chris. Maybe that toothy critter was ONLY 26 inches, but I'll bet it felt like a 40 from the tube.[/#0000ff][/size][/#ff0000]
[#0000ff][size 1]That's one of the types of fishing that should be so much better from "flotation craft". Although mister musky seems not to be too timid and will hang in there even when hassled by boaters, they tend to feed more naturally when they are not aware of potential hazards in their dining room. If you can sneak up on 'em, you have a better chance of getting a strike.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]I used to love Pineview in the early part of the year, when the water was coming up and covering shoreline grasses and brush. When you learn how to read and fish the shoreline structure you cam be a lot more successful. That is especially true with the big crappies. They can be in only a foot or so of water, in the middle of some dense stickups, and can be tough to reach if you don't know how to go about it. (I always carry a 12 foot crappie rod this time of year...my "dipstick")[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]Good luck and we look forward to some pics.[/size][/#0000ff]
