I don't know how much of the shiver came from the morning frost on this July day or the anticipation of what lay ahead. |

The best ...Pineview Muskie fishing is good. With the high water levels, fish the flooded brush. Try throwing jointed X rap Rapalas, swim baits, Mepps Musky Killers or spinner baits. From shore try fishing off of Cemetery Point or Browning Point. Bass fishing is good. Try throwing Maniac 4-inch salt sticks, or Maniac Cutter bugs in crawdad or green pumpkin or tube jigs. |
