Note to musky anglers.. Water temps are drastic, even clear water lakes are pushing 80 degrees and stained water is definately at that point. Becareful, stress levels are increased at these temps. So even taking a break on the 'skis is a good idea until we get some cooler weather.

Suspended bite is definately on, on the clear water lakes. Trolling or casting.

Might want to hit the Flambeau below the thornapple dam right now as they are doing a 25 year maintenance check on the dam and the water is flowing pretty good. It is at or near springtime evels but i don't know how long they will just let it flow. Might make for some serious fun ski action and if not the smallie bite will keep you busy.

Was out on the Tiger Cat Flowage Sunday morning and did find the water pushing that 79 degree mark. We boated one 30" and a 28" tiger. The tiger was a little sluggish at the release but did swim away strong. Also had 2 strikes, 4 other follows, and a bonus bass. All fish came off the weed edges ajoining deep water.

does anyone know much about fishing the st. croix for muskies? I know people do it north of stillwater but i have also seen people fishing muskies around prescott. I would like to try it because I get sick of pounding bone and deer. if anyone knows any spots or areas that produce fish on the croix and dont mind sharing, please let me know.

I have got out on Bone and Deer a few times the last couple weeks with very little success. This erratic weather cant be helping, but I am having a tough time just raising a few fish. I believe this whole summer has been pretty slow for the lakes in this area. I'm sure it will pick up this fall...right after I head back to school confused.gif

no, i havent gathered a lot of info yet. I have heard people say that downstream from oxbow is a good strech. I also know people have caught some nice fish above oxbow. I will have to keep searching for some more info though.

Our group had about 14 guys out Wed, most on Wissota, 2 on Holcombe. 2 smaller fish caught on Wissota, the other 2 on Holcombe had a feeding frenzy right as the moon came up. They caught a 31", 37", and 44".

Scored a nice 44.5" last night on Wissota. Not too many other guys from the league out, I think they are in MN chasin the big girls. Got mine on a homemade bucktail at last light, had no idea she was there but started the L turn on the figure 8 and she hit - let a little line out and waited for the net man! Will post pics soon.

It was a nice fish, it was dark and with hurrying with hooks and such I didn't get a good look at her but she was very healthy looking. Hopefully the pics turn out well, all we had was a cheap disposable. My biggest Wissota fish and 3rd biggest overall. Indeed a good way to end the season - I live withing spitting distance of the Chippewa R in Eau Claire so I might fish a night or two when I don't have time to get to the woods for hunting wink.gif

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
