AREA FISHED ------------- State Park to River Styx

BAIT/LURES USED ------- Rapalas and spoons
NOTES --------------------- A great day for the first trip to the lake. My slip wasn't ready yet so just for the afternoon. Water temps ranged from 46 to 56, found a few pockets of almost 58 back in landing by Lakes End but couldnt coax any hits. Got one small tiger muskie (I think it was, havent seen anything like it before, looked like a pickeral but more silver with spots on sides) about 18", great day until I fell in putting the boat on the trailor, soaked head to toe. Water's still too cold for swimming! New to the club and fishing the lake but looking foward to a great year, you guys have done an outstanding job up here. Thanks and tight lines.
