Lets here it, anyone moving fish?

Very few fish moving. Weeds arent fantastic yet.

[Random guy]

They are in the weeds just not moving yet, soon very soon.

I wasn't on Waconia but another west metro lake last night. Had 4 follow to boatside, 3 smaller ones and one decent fish. They are getting a little closer to being turned on........I hope. Interesting, we were moving these fish in a relatively high traffic area, pulling them up from the weeds in 6-8 feet. Didn't see anything anywhere else.

FYI: Water was almost 4 degrees warmer than it was on Monday.

What kind of boat are you in? I may have seen you in the last few days. I'm in a white 16' Alumacraft side console.

cjac...that is

It wont be long now...Things are about to heat up with water temps climbing up to 73 to 74 degrees. Hopefully it stabilizes when it gets up there though and doesnt get into the 80's right away.

I'm in a black Lund with a Yammy, the big red Rapala decals on the side are a giveaway!!!! I've been happy with what I've seen on the lake. Still replaying the one I missed on Sunday in my head.....

Last time I was able to get ou was the on the 11th. Saw nothing until about 7:30. Then around that time the muskies started moving. My buddy raised a 34-36" on a white bass-sized spinnerbait and I raised a 38-40" on a bulldawg. Plus we saw two other muskie surface around the same time.

[lots of luck]

MuskieKen,

First of all welcome to the site.

Second, thanks for the report. Was that A.M. or P.M.?

[MuskieKen]

It was P.M. It was the weekend of the Muskies Inc. Metro Tournament. Went out the next day and saw nothing. The only two times I've been out this year . My Dodge has lived up to it's maker's reputation . No tow, no go. The fishing has had to have picked up, the weeds should be a lot thicker since then. Anyone ever try for 'skis up real shallow on this lake (4 feet or less)?
