It was a nice warm front on that particular day. Air temps were mid-50s and the water temp went from high-40s to low-50s. Lot of crappie anglers out scoping every single brush pile or deep hole in the lake. We ended up fishing concrete bridge pilings with an A-Rig, flopping a trap off the bottom of deep holes, yo-yo blade baits, and throwing jerkbaits for suspended fish near drop offs. The deeper diving ones were better and the stunna being a slow sink worked well. Just the day or two before someone caught a 40+ musky on a jerkbait. Most predominant techniques were blade baits and jerkbaits on twitches and not herbs. There were still schools of baitfish roaming.

My friend has always wanted to catch a Musky. I said let's meet at Caesars Creek. We launched the boat and headed over to the 73 Bridge. With the falling temperatures, I was hoping for an enjoyable day. It didn't take long and casting the rocks under the bridge, my friend missed something. I wasn't sure what it was. I told him to cast back into the same spot. Upon the second turn of the handle, I watched the Muskie crush his spinnerbait. You could see the gills flare and the mouth open. The fight was on. He did an excellent job of keeping tension on the fish. After about a 10-minute battle, I was able to net his first Muskie. It's almost 45". It was a genuinely nice fish and thick. Due to the lengthy battle, we weren't going to hassle with weighing the fish. A quick picture and then we spent another 15 minutes reviving the fish.

The fish were stacked up on the ledges. We had a full tournament field, and the bite came in the afternoon. Find the areas that dropped off abruptly and the fish were there.

I was out for the Eclipse and just fishing along the bank. Caught my fish flipping a 1/4* oz jig up to the bank and med-slow retrieve back. My fish were under docks and on rock.
