Esoxin': Cabin Fever
http://esoxin.blogspot.com/2008/02/cabin-fever.html
Monday, February 18, 2008. So I have some anxiety about now. In just over a week, I am to begin fishing on Lake Kinkaid in Murphysboro, Ill. with Chad Cain. Had a buddy go out with Chad last year in March and they boated 22 Muskies in two days. I've never even thought of that many. Me and my fishing partners have only boated 11 total if you count Tigers, seven if you don't. Sitting around with no fishing readily available simply turns me into a consumer. I bought some Storm Spin Tail Shad. Day 3, Kinkaid.

Esoxin': Minnesota, here I come!
http://esoxin.blogspot.com/2008/04/minnesota-here-i-come.html
Wednesday, April 23, 2008. Minnesota, here I come! I got my 9wt Winston BIIx back from Winston, who was giving me a new top section after I lost it in Canada fishing the Vedder. I'm bringing my big fly rods on this trip, just to give me another option that I probably won't take advantage of. I'm going to read the books again, after which I will form a plan of action for most situations. I don't remember what I read so well any more, so a plan will be a good thing. I will post it when complete. If you fis...

Esoxin': Umm...
http://esoxin.blogspot.com/2008/02/umm.html
Sunday, February 17, 2008. I'm not really sure where this thing is going to go. My girlfriend's been trying to get me to start a blog for a long time. Now maybe she'll think I'm being productive. I really, really like fishing for Muskies. I'm also really, really political, opinionated and sometimes obnoxious and condescending. I guess I'm just saying this could grow from a lark into a bloodbath. Because I live in Portland, OR, I don't have easy access to true Muskie waters. Washington's Lake Merwin.

Esoxin': Day 2, Kinkaid
http://esoxin.blogspot.com/2008/02/day-2-kinkaid.html
Thursday, February 28, 2008. Day 2, Kinkaid. Chad Cain, arctic explorer. But still, no muskies. I will leave you with an instructional video demonstrating proper ice-breaking techniques with a Ranger. Be sure to listen for the sound of ice slushing and cracking, both against the boat and from the boat's wake. Chad explains himself (sorry about the crappy audio) at the end. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Day 3, Kinkaid. Day 2, Kinkaid. Day 1, Kinkaid. Portland, OR, United States. Muskie on the Fly.

Esoxin': May 2008
http://esoxin.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 18, 2008. Streak #2, Tapps. I got tired of casting and I was getting hot from a lack of a decent breeze, so I convinced Todd to troll for a little while. It ultimately worked out with the above 45 incher nailing his Rapala Magnum (shout out to Kevin! Also gave me an opportunity to text a little smack to our Muskies Inc prez who couldn't seal the deal with a Ski during his day on the lake. S'OK, Dan, you'll get one next time.

Esoxin': July 2008
http://esoxin.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 30, 2008. Long time, no post, I know. Still penning the opus re: the Minnesota trip. I've since decided to target a few other species. I went out with some iFishers to fish the estuary in Astoria. Put a few in the boat and have a few videos to post. So here you go Mike, Gallus and Ben. Thanks again for having me! Gallus tussles with a 60". Mike hauls in another 60". Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Portland, OR, United States. View my complete profile. My Girlfriend's Horse Blog.

Esoxin': Day 1, Kinkaid
http://esoxin.blogspot.com/2008/02/day-1-kinkaid.html
Wednesday, February 27, 2008. Day 1, Kinkaid. Went to the 17th Ave Bar and Grill in Murphysboro, which won a bunch of BBQ championships and Bon Appetit press. The hot link was good, the ribs were good, the pulled pork was below average. All of it was served barely lukewarm. Podnah's it weren't. Tomorrow is supposed to be in the low 40s, which will be a 20 degree improvement. It's also supposed to rain, so that will make the day another fun one, I am sure. February 28, 2008 at 1:05 PM. Day 3, Kinkaid.

Esoxin': Day 3, Kinkaid
http://esoxin.blogspot.com/2008/02/day-3-kinkaid.html
Friday, February 29, 2008. Day 3, Kinkaid. So all in all, I'd say it's much easier to catch a muskie in Illinois than it is in Minnesota :). Possibly, having Chad Cain in the boat coulda.maybe.had a tiny bit to do with it. And don't forget to do your part to keep Chad's wife busy, buy Llungen Lures. Made in Carbondale, Il! Where should you buy them? Keep my muskie consultant Aaron busy at Muskytackleonline.com. Pretty amazing fish.not too bad shooting the video.my lessons are paying off. Day 3, Kinkaid.
