I decided today to head out during my lunch hour to do a bit of casting for some muskies. I usually go to the Jock River Park which is at Woodroffe and Prince of Wales here in Ottawa. I only had about 30 minutes of casting time before I had to leave but it was still nice to get out. I only had a few lures with me so I sprayed my casts around and tried the different lures. I have caught a few muskies at this spot a number of times but today was not meant to be. That does not mean I didn't come close!
I was casting an inline spinner and had a musky, in the 36-38" range follow it to within 10 feet of shore where it stopped and watched my sad attempts at doing a figure 8....needless to say, trying to figure 8 while on shore in 6 inches of water is tough. I tried and it watched for about 30 seconds before slowly swimming away.
So no fish today but I did see one so that put a smile on my face. Hopefully I'll make it out again in the next week or so and will be able to land it for a quick pic.
Cheers
