I finally broke the ice folks. Darn it's taken a while this year. I guess all I had to do was put on my Ducktail Lures hat and team up with Craig. Heck of a net man to say the least. 42" X 20".

A couple of muskies moved but no takers. Kevin B and I wet our lines but only a smallie cooporated. It hit my Ducktail Lures 6" Weed Warrior Jerkbait like a freight train.

One musky spotted but still no takers. My partner and I both landed smallies on musky baits. Who says they're leader shy. 80# Power Pro and a 180# flourocarbon leader doesn't spook them at all.
