Oxford Furnace Muskie 9/2
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hit Oxford Furnace Sunday with the wife for a few hours. Caught a handfull of small bass each on the old Yum Dingers. Tried throwing everything but the big boys (and gals) wouldn't bite. Highlight of the day was a nice Muskie that the wife caught on a spinnerbait (firetiger w/ silver Colorado/Willow Leaf tandem) on 8 lb mono. Knew they were in there but really wasn't setup for them obviously. But she did a great job landing it on that light line. Made a couple of nice runs in and out of the weeds so it was a little nerve wracking at times. I'm holding it because she does not handle the toothy types. Just for relativity I'm 6' 2" and 275 pounds so thats a big belly behind that fish.

Very nice! Been up there a few times in search of Muskie with no luck. Hoping the cooler weather wakes them up. Gorgeous fish!

Beautiful fish. Went there earlier this year had a couple big boys follow back to the boat but nothin hooked. Only fish caught was a big ol bass that hammered a musky glide bait

Yes...using my high tech pool thermometer method....the water was 80 degrees about three feet down.
