Professor June 16, 2009 at 9:36 pm Reply Andy…I'm humbled by your generosity in giving away hotspots such as this one. That would have been very difficult for me. Isn't this spot close to the place where Billy Belinski was bitten by a musky a couple of years back?
Perchmaster June 17, 2009 at 12:04 am Reply Nice ski!!!!Hope it is still swimming?Can't wait till musky opens this week-end so Gord can post up some nice pictures for us!!!Maybe he will video a musky following a topwater bait that would be cool!!!Now that I have planted the idea hope someone can come through!!!!
Andy Lewis June 17, 2009 at 12:46 am Reply Poor Billy's incident was actually within the VBL beach if I remember quickly. This musky was caught between gull island and the island featured in Neil's picture. Gord…you really should add a post about Billy, perhaps posting a scan of the article? To answer Perchmaster's question, there are really few reasons to keep a large game fish of any species. There are plenty of eaters in Eagle Lake! Occassionally, you will get a casualty that can't be revived, but take plenty of pictures and let the big girls swim away.
Gord June 17, 2009 at 12:58 am Reply Andy….what a wonderfull convoluted way of getting to post a picture of your big catch! You can always refer to your hot spot as the "view from the crapper in cabin 5"! And yes, professor, this is very close to the spot where Billy was attacked…….in fact is that a piece of boy-flesh hanging from the jaws of that muskie?……… Perchmaster….."nice ski"……a ski is something you glide over the snow on…or perhaps on the lake. Perhaps you are referring to a Muskie? I will be posting a picture of one this season that will frost your pumpkin…..be ready!
Perchmaster June 17, 2009 at 9:39 pm Reply Yea OK Gord whatever, the only way you will boat a monster "SKI" is if one of your friends from across the bay takes you fishing!!!! HAHAHA!!I will hold you to this picture of a monster, and I doubt it will frost this pumpkin!!!!I'm ready and will be waiting Gus.
