38 Inch Musky on a Suick in a west facing weed bay

48 1/2 inch musky that hit on a figure 8 after 5 plus minutes of following our lures

Second cast of the morning landed this 47 1/2 inch beauty.

Third musky of 3 that were caught within an hour of the moonrise - sunset time frame.

Second of 3 muskies caught during the moonrise sunset time frame.

First musky of 3, 36 Inch Musky caught within 1 hour of the moonrise sunset time frame

My second trip to the Winnipeg River was a great success, not only to the number of fish we caught, but to the great camaraderie our group had.  We saw many fish per day and lost track many of the days.  We had great stories of follows and lost fish which will be told for years to come.  The weather was great and our group caught fish every day except for two, which I cannot explain.   Our best day was Sunday with 9 fish landed.  I have more pictures to add, stay tuned.

A couple of nice king salmon caught off of the mouth of the Manitowoc Breakwaters.  They were caught jigging 5/8 ounce Krocdiles off of the bottom.  Much more fun than trolling!!!

We also missed 3 other fish.  Jigging is a great alternative to catch salmon when they are feeding in relatively small area.
