    Plastic crawfish from CT also worked great. Got muskie from Bill's dock

    Are you serious? What time of year?

    I threw everything from the dock while we were picking up some more ice for the wobbly pops. Didn't see anything. Not even a hammer handle.

    It was end of September last year. I cruised around the dock at low speed, waiting for place to be freed to unload and launch the boat. My fishfinder showed something and I told to my son to throw the line. He took the first that was near him and it had brown crawfish already. Muskie grabbed it immediately.

    Default Moon River Pics

    Here are two pics from the Moon River trip report that I posted earlier this week. The first one is a 27" Pike and the second is the 20" Pickerel. Not huge, but nice clean fish. Both released.

    That mystery fish could have been a big musky!

    Awesome story... I could picture myself fishing in those exact places you speak of.

    That small creek on the left just out of Arnold's bay is a tiny inlet into the legendary Crappie Bay.

    Years ago the water was much deeper and that bay was littered with those critters. I couldn't say where you would find them now but June is kinda late.

    Some of the biggest and more populated fish in that Moon River basin is Channel Cats. I'd bet one of them broke the line. Unless you are rigged for it, or are blessed with massive amounts of luck, those big musky wouldn't be on your line more than a few seconds. Bite right through the Steel!

    I will second the sturgeon theory being it was near the falls
