My friend John and his wife were able to stay in town through the following weekend. When I asked him if he wanted to explore some remote musky water, he was all in. With the help of a Gazeteer map when our GPS phone signals blanked out, we were soon at an unfamiliar launch site, fishing the clearest water I've ever fished for a musky.
The scenery was gorgeous, and we now have another haunt to revisit for these awesome fish.
One highlight was seeing a pack of about 15 large smallmouth bass cruising around some boulders---no takers.
Landed two fiesty smaller muskies...but I'm sure there were some hawgs lurking around.


Only one cabin on the water---had it's own outhouse, and no roads or trails in...just the water to reach it.


Landed one musky off this point:




Can't wait to go back.
Here's another splashy release video...two from this trip, and one from last week:
