Location: Shoreview, MN | I too am struggling on WBL but I always seem to struggle there in midsummer. There's still gotta be plenty of fish in there - Sept-Oct-Nov is always better. I wonder if the clearer water and lack of milfoil has moved them - I've been catching bass in 25+' so I'm thinking everything is just deeper this year. |

I have been preaching this all year. Something has changed out there this year. Last year at this same time I boated around 15 muskies. I have not caught one out there yet this year and I have fished around the same amount of hours. I've tried throwing everything at them and at different depth ranges. I bet I have only seen 15 muskies out there this whole year. My believe is that a lot of the older muskies in that lake are starting to dye of and the lack of stocking is really hurting the lake. And the amount of boat traffic out there is insane. By far the busiest lake in the state right now for its size. |

| Indy is bad this year as well. Seeing/catching FAR fewer muskies particularly this year but a steady decline over the last 5. pike are there now in numbers it seems. they are short and fat ones too. |

Yeah there is something wrong with that lake. Not seeing or catching nearly as many fish there as previous few years. Tried Tonka today and did not see squat either, thought it might be good with the weather. |
