Spokane Chapter of Muskies, Inc.!

[dougw]

Thanks KUP for all of your help!

[KUP]

You are welcome! But the real thanks goes to you eastsiders who organized this.
When Chapter #57 started in May of 2007, it was always the dream to have a Muskies, Inc. Chapter on the Spokane side, too. This is a good thing for muskie anglers and a GREAT thing for the WDFW Tiger Muskie Program!

Any support you need from CH#57, you got it!

[dougw]

I will have to come over and win one so we have one! That would be priceless! Sure hope I get to go.....

If anyone knows anyone who would like to donate a mount they have of a muskie please let us know, we are in need of one to use for our chapters meetings and for when we do fishing and expo shows. Thanks Craig

I figured we needed to hit the Mayfield Tournament and show those West-siders how to catch a 50" Muskie. If we did that, then we would get our mount for the Mountain Muskies!

[KUP]

Oh oh... now it starts!!! Listen to that smack! I wish you guys luck,
but you better bring your buddies!! LOL

[dougw]

That would be pretty bad KUP to get out-fished in your back yard!! Like they say, I'd rather be lucky than good!

[KUP]

Well, like Marc Martyn says, "when it comes right down to it, ... its up to the fish"

But I figure I have a little "fish Karma" going because they know me... I helped stock, lol.
But I would not mind if your step-son beat us all: Congrats on his first muskie!! 35 inches is impressive!

Had to go out today on Newman and show the youngsters in our group how the adults do it, since they have been the only ones catching any Muskies. My fish was 43"x 19 1/2 girth. My first Tiger ever. Wish someone had been there to take a good photo of the fish.. better take Mel next time lol

[Rosann G]

Congrats to you and the kids on catching the muskies. Wow, you guys are really busy at filling your lunge log quickly. Really neat that the kids will be the first ones. I like your photos too.

[dougw]

Nice pics Craig for not having any help! If you need a partner anytime this weekend, don't hesitate to call. I will be out a couple of times this weekend, but I have a boat project to get finished. If I finish soon enough, it will go to Mayfield if I get to go. A lot of work between now and then!!

[YJ Guide Service]

It was kool to see the kids catching what alot of us adults cant seem to most of the time lol. Little advice for everyone out there that fish for Muskie always have a camera person lol....

[dougw]

Maybe that's the best way to insure you catch something; don't have a camera and if you do, don't fish with anyone that can take a picture!

[KUP]

Congratulations, Craig!! What a rush, eh?
The fish gods must be smiling on you for all the hard work you have put in on the new muskie chapter.
It is always exciting to see new tiger pictures... I like this one of "in the nest".
It is realistic.

[YJ Guide Service]

Thanks KUP it was a rush and man are those fish pretty. We fished Newman today and i got another one 31x11.5. I want mel to get one now, but atleast i had a camera person this time lol.

Way to go Craig! Nice to see your picking up the Tigers. Keep it up. Red and Black Bucktail or a Mr. Wiggles?

[YJ Guide Service]

Actually mr.wiggles hasnt been that productive for us lol. I caught that one on a C.S. Lures inline spinner bait black and purple. The 43" i caught the other day came off a #5 super vibrax spinner black and red. The rivers starting to get weedy better get back over and fish it lol. How has your fishing been lately. We need to get over there when the salmon start have any good spots for them lol. Havent caught but 2 salmon ever. Good fishing

[sparky1doug]

We are gearing up for Aug.1 opener for Kings and Silvers. I will keep you posted as it looks to be an early run. I can certainy put you on the fish when they arrive. I will be fishing the beaches at sunrise starting 8/1 so I'll know when it heats up. The salmon runs go on all the way to Nov. so plenty of time to hit them somewhere.

Chapter #60 Mountain Muskies Will be holding a Open Muskie Tournament on Newman Lake on August 14th (as long as permits come through).We will be running the tournament through the Newman Lake Resort. Boat launches should be done at the public launch due to space restrictions for trailers. The cost is $50.00 per 2 person teams. Payout will be 80% of the field (max 15 boats) among 1st,2nd,3rd places. This is a catch and release tournament. You can sign up by contacting Craig (president@mountainmuskie.com) or by showing up on tournament day at 6:15 a.m. Tournament rules will be posted on our website (www.mountainmuskies.com). There will be a meeting(at 6:30) before the tournament starts that everyone must attend in order to fish. After the tournament we will have a raffle for prizes and possibley have a bbq (bring your own food and beverages). This is a open tournament which means after we fill the available spots the sign-up will close, sign-up will done according to when your info is received.
