Or: One Fish, Two Fish
My limited muskie experience has been losing fish. I spent the past two days fishing with Blue Ridge Musky, www.blueridgemusky.com , to try to catch my first muskie. We fished the upper James River. It is gorgeous up in the Blue Ridge. I fished with Sam the first day, Jeremy the second. Both are great and know that river. The first day, we saw a lot of fish and had about 6 bites plus a lot of follows. Had my first muskie hooked on my second cast…which I lost. A lot of tutoring and I finally landed my first muskie. It was a nice one that was followed by an equally large fish during the fight. The second day was a lot slower. I “only” saw 6 muskie and had one bite. I got that one so my landing percentage is improving. Rather awesome muskie fishery that we have in Virginia that I just found out about. Saw a bunch of smallmouth bass. Both days, we saw some huge muskie. Like, we need a bigger boat fish.
