General Conditions
Water level is currently 31 inches down from full level. Water temps are 58 to 60. Weeds are still excellent (many fresh weeds are now up)in a number of places.
Walleye Report
Big Walleye are hitting next to the bogs in deep water about 10 to 14 feet down using large minnows (3 to 4 inches) on a bobber at sundown and dusk. They will soon start moving to the river bottoms and deeper holes once turn over is complete.
Crappie Report
The crappie and bluegill are still hitting great with lots of nice catches most days. Crappie are now on the bottom in 20 to 24 feet of water or on and around the fish cribs. They are often outside the cribs in deeper water of 20 feet or more.
Musky Report
The musky action has been excellent this past 2 months with 80 muskies caught at our resort since mid August!! In just 12 days during the end of August, Brenda and I caught 11 muskies between 36 and 47 inches. The biggest one, 47 inches, was caught by Brenda. 2 weeks later, on Sept 8th, Brenda caught even a bigger one... 48 1/4" and over 30# and on Sept 18 Brenda caught a 51er! A couple of days before Brenda caught her 51er, she lost a 30# plus musky after fighting it to the boat. 6 days later I caught it and it was 48" long and about 31# or better!
Plus there has been alot of other action too!! It's some of the best musky fishing we've ever seen!! The fish have been on a consistent shallow bar/weed pattern and have been hitting very well on topwater lures (and bucktails too). However, now that we are in the turnover phase, the muskies are scattered more at all depths and everything works but nothing works particularly well. However!! At sundown and dusk and first dark, if it is warm and not windy, you can still have good evening shallow water bar action with surface baits! This evening I (John) caught two nice muskies on creepers after dark: 45 1/2" and 44 1/4"!!
Northern/Smallmouth Bass report
Northern fishing has been relatively slow this year. Small mouth Bass action is good on the shallow bars and shores... especially at dusk on the hard bottom bars.
