Nice Pic. on the Musky, I lived 2 blocks from lake tapps in the 70's & early 80's and had no idea that musky were there. caught my first musky 2 weeks ago in Newman lake, not sure on the weight but was about 45 inches.
Congrats on the Tigermusky

Good job! Drove by it the other day and noted the low water. Its slowly filling.
Tapps musky were introduced about 10 years ago.

Nice musky and nice bass. Sorry to hear it was slow. Did you try a tube? Especially when the water is in the 50s, i have really good luck with them. Again, nice post. Nice bass.

Thanks guys! Yah, I tried everything. SM was caught on swimming jig. We tried everything. Al my favorite spots, and my favorite tubes as well. The fish are in isolated areas waiting to move up. Not sure why we didn't find any deep fish???

good stuff man! way to get out and catch 2 nice fish! i really hope i can get a chance to fish tapps and get a muskie!

I was out there on the 1st the day the county launch opened. I tried everywhere too but spent most my time shallow hoping the bass would be moving up since the water temp was hitting the low 50's and rising then spent some time with the dropshot and jig deep. I too found nothing and did not even mark fish on the sonar not sure where they hide this time of year but they should be moving shallow soon. last year was my first year fishing Tapps and I started in the summer so I am not sure how the rising water effects the fish, if anyone knows I would love to hear. congrats on the catch nice looking smallmouth and muskie.
