DL

[JJJ]

I heard there are 2 lakes connected to Big Detroit by a river. Are there muskies in these (mellisa & emily) lakes? All info appreciated.

[Scoot]

Yes. I don't know about the population density though.

Melissa is actually a decent lake to fish. The lake does recieve a fair amount of pressure so look to night or weekday outings.

I've fished Sallie many times for Muskies with pretty good success. There isn't alot of muskies in there but the ones you do catch are quality fish. The smallest muskie I've pulled out of there was a 41". Sallie is a tough lake to fish though, and it will take many hours and a boat load of patience to catch them.

Hawg: How did you make out at Vermilion? I scored a nice 45 on DL two weeks ago...have not been out lately.

Hey Cliffy

Nice work on the 45

We never did boat a muskie on Vermillion, saw a few nice ones though. I just got back from Cass lake and didn't have much luck there either.

Hawg:

Sorry to hear that....this sport can be so difficult at times..I wonder if its worth it.....

I hit Big DL this past Sat. morning (430am) and got two more in the boat before 730am. 44 & 38. My best day in a long time....now I am sure I wont see anything else for the rest of the season.

I hope things pick up for ya.

Cliffy.

Hey there Cliffy!!! Ive been hearing a lot of good stories about DL the last couple weeks. Some guys having 4-5 fish a day!!! Mostly on top water. I think i might give the mississippi a try this weekend by brainerd. I will be at my families cabin. You should try and make it up to Vermilion the weekend of Sept 16th. I think we are most likely going up there. Should be a blst and the fish will be fat!!!

Anyways good job on the fish i gotta catch up to ya here. O by the way do you need any shoeboxes???? Ive been making a lot lately and i dont have any room for some of my older (but still nice) ones. I gave a lure to a guy last week and he caught a 43 incher on DL!!! Kind of cool!!!

Talk to ya later!!
