I own a home in Mercer on a lake and thought I'de share my "almost" luck this past weekend (10-08-10). Saturday was a gem for me. Had three large fish follow to the boat within 10 minutes. Two were Musks, and I can't swear by the third. I did my best figure eighting, but to no avail. Two of the fish rolled sideways giving me a perfect view. One was at least a forty incher. I was thowing a 9" weighted Suick in 10-15 ft. of water on weed edges. The wind was south easterly with just a little bit of chop. So much for the saying " wind from the east fishing is the least". Today (Sunday) was a different story...... the only thing I did was get my line wet, pull out several back lashes and enjoyed the near perfect morning puffing on my grape swishers !!!
