Jack Lake Fishing Report, August 21-22 2004
Here is another one of our older articles, this time it’s one of my favorite Musky reports from 2004. Unfortunately, it was also the weekend that my thumb got a nice gash when a Musky tried to have it for lunch, it was still one of the most beautiful and memorable weekends of 2004.
Enjoy!
“We were no longer men. We had become something more. We were like gods, fishing from the clouds in search angels…”
Our day started late, we arrived at Jacks lake around one in the afternoon. The sun was bright and shone down with great heat. We layered up with sun block, packed up the canoe and set out on our way. We covered the opposite shore with soft plastic baits in search of lunker bass. We quickly advanced over shallow shorelines covered by weeds and rock. Within a couple hours we had reached the bay we wanted to fish. We decided to stop and prepare some food, allowing the afternoon sun to cool down.
We headed directly to the spot we planned to fish. Prior visits to this location had led us to believe muskie
could be located here. We cut the motor a hundred yards away. A cool breeze drifted us perfectly into position. I tied on a Mepps black fury (Musky Killer) with a black bucktail. Jon did the same. The smell of muskie was in the air.
