Hi, thought I'd introduce myself with a report.

Yesterday afternoon I fished Tonka for the first time this year, and we were looking muskies. Pike offered up a little action and I had to net 3 for my pal. His biggest was 35", the other 2 were snakes. 2 hit a ghost bucktail and came of the weed edge of a point. The other snake took a super shadrap trolled near a weedy flat.

While burning a white bucktail over shallow weeds I had one side swipe the bait and leave a nice boil, but I didn't get a good look at the fish. Later on something hit my M&G spinnerbait, I set the hook and after a few seconds of what felt like head shakes, it got off. Right before dark I had one more strike on that M&G, but it didn't get hooked.

We threw topwater and hair over shallow weeds and edges, trolled cranks from 15 to 20 fow, and no muskies. Didn't even see a fish. Water temp was around 63.

Welcome to UMO and great first post.

It sure can get frustrating catching fish that aren't the target species. The 35" had to put up a decent fight.

Thanks guys.

It was a beautiful afternoon to be on the water, and I had good time. I haven't been after muskies very often the past few seasons. Tonka has been tough on us over the years, the longest fish boated was a fat 44" my pal caught. We still enjoy giving it a run.

On Tonka he gets most of them. 

Next time we fish there Im just going to hold the net and do some sight seeing.
