Smallie Seeker Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 Good luck to you. I'm thinking about trolling some rattle traps and maybe try out a figure 8 or two. Can't wait to see the looks I get from other boats lol.
Justin92297 Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 This definitely makes me want to go fish for some Muskies. But would it also be worth a shot to try for hybrids? Are they still being stocked?
stlfisher Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 I don't think so, but I could be wrong...at least they don't advertise if they do, but several years ago I saw a guy catch on out of lake 24 and it was small...might have been a white bass though...
Justin92297 Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Ok so I keep hearing all these reports of Muskies biting bass and crappie lures but does anyone have success with actual Muskie lures? I have some pretty nice buck tail spinners and a few oversized jerkbaits that worked well on Muskies up north. Would these be worth a shot or should I stick to bass lures?
Geoff Posted April 27, 2015 Author Posted April 27, 2015 Like I said before, I got a nice follow last year or whenever it was from a HUGE bucktail fly that I tied specifically for muskie. I guess water temps are about right that I need to go out and try again. I also saw on MDC's facebook page how they rear the muskie, and they feed them rosey reds, which are those little pinkish/yellow minnow things you buy at the pet stores. So I tied this.. in hopes that maybe the smaller fish would see it and nom it on down. no luck with muskie but the one time I got out to fish it a largemouth crushed it with a vengeance!

mjk86 Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Caught this one yesterday morning on a swimmin minnow while crappie fishing. That was a first for me! Have seen a few crappie in that lake with large scars on them.
Geoff Posted April 27, 2015 Author Posted April 27, 2015 which end of the lake?? "When you do things right, people wont be sure you've done anything at all."
mjk86 Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 about 20 yards out from the jetty closest to the dam. Came out of a brush pile. I released him quickly and unharmed..he swam off.
Geoff Posted April 27, 2015 Author Posted April 27, 2015 Cool!! They seem to congregate more down on the end closet to the dam. When the lake was super low last year you could see all the brush piles, so that makes sense. "When you do things right, people wont be sure you've done anything at all."
