August 30, 2010

Last week the big lake got lots of play with two muskie tournaments. Nearly 100 boats competed with about 30 fish caught between the two events. A local chapter from Muskies Inc. had a remarkable event taking nearly half the fish. WOW!! Then last weekend reports of fish starting to eat again started to pour in.

What triggers this is anyone’s guess, but who cares the fish are eating again!! Blade baits worked the best and a combination of rocks/weeds held musky.

Walleyes are getting hungry as well. Weeds are lying down ahead of schedule forcing perch out of their hiding spots, and they are heading for deep water. This window lasts about two weeks so get a lindy rig or crank bait in the water.

The minnow bite usually kicks off around Labor Day so you can add some rainbows or chubs in to the mix.

Bear hunters will be out as this comes to press. News of story crops such as acorns and hazelnuts will be an issue, but berries are kaput.

Have a safe Weekend!
