Chataqua;10/12

[old man]

I read that 9 fish were caught by 35 anglers. None of them were caught by me. Water was 62 in the morning and 65 by 5pm. Still pretty green for october. I raised three fish by 11am. One was about 200 yards north of the tower in 6fow. Next one i saw was in 6fow in irwins bay. Third one was next to a moored sailboat off point chataqua in 7fow. I caught a consolation bass there. All three fish came up to check out a black and white maribou double ten that i made. Not quite good enough to eat. After 11 i cast for 5 more hours and saw nothing.

Nice report Old Man - thanks for sharing.  Cautauqha kicked our butts as well.  We had scrappy 30" fish at 8:00am in the morning that we lost boat side and then proceeded to wash lures the rest of the day.  Couldn't even manage to get a follow - fishing was definitely pretty slow that day.  Threw everything we had in the box at em' and no dice for our team.  That is just how musky fishing goes sometimes.

The 49" fattie caught by Frank Alcorn and the 42"er caught by Bill Gliss were from 32ft or deeper water trolling.From Thursday up to Saturday's Tourney it was slow fishing!

ditto on the tough weekend at chuatarkwa. Fished fri/sat/sun there and got 3 fish (1 fish each day trolling).  Nada casting and of course did not catch a fish during the tourney.  Chose to skip the bbq/awards after the tourney to keep fishin and nailed one @ like 5:30pm.   pulled the boat early monday am to hit up another lake and did 2 more.  All fish were mid to upper 30"s.   Mostly beautiful weather though and nice to spend a long weekend on the water
