A little over 36 hours until the fun begins! Good luck to all the Minnesota Muskie anglers going out this weekend! With these warming temps and late spring things could be good for opener…..or bad, one never knows when it comes to Muskie hunting! Just gotta put down the head and grind!

Ahhhh so much has changed from 9 years ago (when this pic was taken) but one thing that has not is my love for fishing and walleyes in general. These fish can be a pain sometimes but every time they come over topside of my boat they give me a smile (with addition to other fish as well)! Hope everyone is staying cool with these warmer temps we are having but the fish are still ready and willing to eat! For June there are few dates still available for guides along with July. I provide ice cold water for all of my clients to keep refreshed every trip. Dm me to get your spot booked today!

***Motivation Monday***

Don’t get me wrong fishing is a large part of my life however there is more to life then just catching fish. Mental health is huge and I feel everyone deals with it in some way or form in their life. I’m going to try something new and not fishing related here every Monday called motivation Monday to hopefully help others who are fighting their own mental health battle or just need a little push to get them going at the start of the week. Reel Monsters is not only here to put you on fish but also we care about every one of you because you have made my dream become possible. I personally have dealt with my own battles and continue to in this crazy world but know we are always here for each and everyone of you regardless if you have booked with me or not. We need to do better caring for one another in this big crazy world because we are all in this thing called life together!

Summer temps are approaching spreading the fish out however there are some good ones to be had if you know where to look!

2022 Metro Muskie Tourney in the books! Well it was not what he hoped for but at least the boat put one top side. Very low numbers of fish registered this year along with minimal size at least gave us a shot and came up just short. It was a decent day on the water and we had the winning pattern in my eyes but the fish didn’t cooperate. Raised 13 fish today, caught one and lost one. Began the day running moving baits along the deeper edge only raising two fish in the first few hours and had one come unbuttoned. Fast forward to 10:15 when the moon major hit and something lit these fish on fire. We proceeded to raise 11 more fish in ranges of 50” down to 20” but they were coming in left and right but still tight lipped. My boat partner managed one 30” to at least register a fish for the day. Once the major passed and the traffic came out the bite shut down for us. Raising no fish the last few hours. Overall the Muskie bite is just starting and should be getting better from here on out as the water warms. I’ll be running trips for muskies until that water temp rolls into the 80’s and then I’ll be shutting down Muskie trips for the safety of the fish. Dm me for availability for the remainder of June!

As the bass start moving out to the outer edges after the spawn the drop shot rig can be clutch! I like using a zman trick shot myself! What’s your favorite drop shot bait??

Beautiful view after those storms rolled through last night and we still snuck out for a quick dusk walleye bite

Metro Muskie has become a tradition for a buddy and I over the years. Better get this puppy off in the mail! Or better yet... do the online registration. https://metromuskietournament.com

The fiancé says her "unintentional" muskie curse has been lifted this year for the tournament. She even did a ritual during the blood moon and everything ;) So fingers crossed this is our year!!

Who's headed out June, 11th for the tourney?
