I gotta clean em up but i was thinking like 25 for the c3 and like 40 for the c4. The c4 is actually my brothers, but he said he doesnt really want it anymore so I'll ask him if its ok to sell.

Don't tell me that, Ryan! I'll be in bluegill and rockbass heaven another 5 days... THEN, we go to Lake of the Woods, Ontario for 14 days of MUSKIE heaven - and the occasional hawg smallie.
Email me those pics, or post em here. Though, I'm not sure el capitan (aka the Rob-meister) will stand for it.

what size is the c4. i def. want the c3. i actually had 6 on sunday. 4 were true catches in the mouth so i only said 4. the 2 snags got off at the shore like last time. i only have a pic of one on the computer because the cost to send them to the email is kinda high. mom was griping and i had already sent one when dad was at work to make him jealous. this one is about 42" and yes i know i'm holding it funny but my hand was BUTCHERED. those gill plates are a lot sharper than i remember and i paid for it. i bandaged up the hand and had another guy who was smart enough to bring leather gloves hold my fish when i caught them in exchange for letting him use one of my rods. he had 2 on a 6" baby bass color swim bait. i can send those to anyone with a verizion picture phone for free. i am on my parents' computer so give me until tomorrow afternoon and i will post pics of both bass and the muskie. numbers on sangchris are lower than usual but size is WAY UP. had 3 fish that weighed in for a total of just over 15 lbs. had 7 total but last saturday we were dealing with 35 mph winds. like i said i will post pics tomorrow and maybe even go. call me before 10 if anyone is interested in a spot on the boat for sunday july 9. i may be trying my luck.

Wow, Ryan. is the muskie spot below the spillway at Lake S your spot? Can I go sometime? I've never caught anything bigger than a juvenile Tiger Muskie...would 65 lb braid be good enough on an 8 foot flippin stick?

yeah i use 85 and 50 lb braid and even 20 lb mono. they are getting hit pretty hard and i went friday and sunday and drew a blank with the muskies. you are welcome to come with me whenever you want. bring big baits and the 6" swim baits you got. if you want to start doing some serious damage though get a muskie rod. now is the time of year muskie rods are on clearance because the 2007 rods will be coming in. i got another for 20 bucks reg. 100. below the spillway is definitely the muskie spot. there is no particular spot down there to do well because they are so thick through there. there are a few spots that do better than others but the place isnt that big to have to fish over. bring leather gloves with you so if you get snagged you can wrap the line around your hand and pull the rocks over to get your expensive baits back. remember also that a good day muskie fishing can be only one. they are a tough beast to tame. but hook into one and hang on. any questions about tackle may be directed towards sean. he is the muskie pro in the club. and sean.........call me up when you are going to fish shelbyville. i want to go with you again. good luck fishing to all
