| First 50" Muskie of the season! |
Muskie
Muskie fishing is starting to heat up. Casting is producing a few fish in prime feeding times during low light conditions or weather changes but trolling is producing 4 to 8 strikes per outing. Top trolling speeds are very fast to superman fast. The key for this time of year is to fish open water and pass the bait right in front of their noses and forcing them to make a decision. This past week produced the first 50 inch fish of the season. Good fishing and keep cool.

| Nice walleyes--just a part of the limit caught! |
Walleye
Walleye fishing is continuing to be
very good. Small eating fish are shallow
in and around weeds and small reefs. When fishing shallow water, expect other
species to be present like catfish and the annoying drum. Stay away from shiny
spinners and flashy crank baits. Bigger walleyes have been deeper in 20-26
ft of water. Look for presence of baitfish and fish around, but not through the
school. You will have far less drum and catfish to contend with but far few
bites from walleyes.
Top baits have still been spinners with
crawlers, but some bigger fish have come on crank baits. The best thing to
remember is to fish well above the fish right now they are willing to chase
your bait to eat it.
