Hit Newman today with the wife for a couple hours. Weather was crazy we thought it would be sunny and perfect well it was cloudy and COLD!! Water temps were back down to 52-54 degrees while we were there from 1-4pm today. Had two bites and two fish landed! My first one was the Tiger Musky pictured, I have never caught one before and man my heart was pounding. It struck my suspending rapala right after a 3 second pause about 20ft from the boat in 5-7ft of water. I have had only one other fish pull drag from my baitcaster and it was a LMB about 6lbs so I am guessing at 30 inches this was about 5-6lbs. Quick pics and released. No other strikes for almost 2 hours in numerous spots so went by the launch to try an area of stumps I knew holds good fish. Two perfect casts in a row and WHAM Largemouth about 2lbs. This was caught on a double colorado spinner bait. Hit the area hard for 20 more min and then took off. Nothing for the wife this time but she took great pics and has now thawed out. What a trooper! Hopefully the weather will get the water temps up soon. Quite a few other boats on the water, I didn't see anyone really getting anything but we were only there a short time.
Tight Lines!
