As of this writing, cooler nights have brought recent day-time lake temps to low- mid 70's. Casting along shallow weedy shorelines & tops of reefs with weedless & topwater artificials has worked well. Live bait anglers report early morning and late evening catches near schools of bait fish -locating above weeds in 12'-14' feet of water near drop-offs.
Muskies & Northern Pike are becoming more aggressive. The bite will be ON for them and all species as water temps continue to fall and they feed to fatten for the Winter. Lake vegetation will thin-out, making weed edges easier to fish. Later, Lunkers can be expected to follow baitfish as they migrate to warmer shallow locations to feed. This season is when some of the BIGGEST fish are caught. Don't forget your camera and net!
Our Bait Shop & Launch has shortend hours now, after Labor Day.
In Sept, we open M-F @ 10 am ; Sat & Sun Open:7am & Close @ Sunset.
We hate to face it, but we'll begin removing boats and docks in later Sept. & early Oct. to store them for the winter.
