Hit marsh creek today with a bud Adam. Went up to the area we wanted to fish and proceeded to cast. Using topwater frogs had a few misses then it happens. We get into an area where muskies hold my partner has one surge on him and no hookup. So after a couple times of me watching him i make my cast .Bam! Game on. Adam i hooked ...."poink!" The musky ..nevermind as he had bitten thru the power pro taking my famous frog eatin spro frog with him.... :( Had a couple more follow the lures to the boat but no more hookups including which i thought was cool the water was bulging behind my lure as i watched him follow it to the boat. After that we wound up with 8 total with Adam schooling me 6 to 2. Good deal bass to 3 lbs. Now the bad. Not 1 but 2 complete idiots come between us and the shore ! One was a bubbba and dad team who trolled right across the weedbed we were clearly fishing. The other was a woman in a kayak who was going around the made an abrupt turn to go between us and the bank which was about 20 feet away. People can be sooo friggin rude! But a cool day on the water

nope no mugging but just a lot of boats and no consideration although we got away from the crowd for a while in a very heavy weeded area

Marsh creek is a freak show, I was up there fishing from the bank two weeks ago, had a few lines out for catfish and was casting for bass. I had no less than 5 groups of kayakers paddle right through my lines, I was clearly visible, and I had my baits under slip bobbers to make my sets more visible. Theres a whole frigging lake and kayakers have to paddle within 20 feet of the shore when people are clearly fishing? I got pissed off and left by 930 am.
