I've hear often "oh that's a good sucker lake" What determines wether a lake is a "good" sucker lake or if there's no sucker bite at all. I'm guessing the obvious answer is if suckers are a mainstay of the ski's diet, but what other factors play the biggest parts? Water clarity? depth? The Fox chain seems to have a notoriously bad (nonexistent) sucker bite. Can't fish with the current temps so thinking about fall. Thanks

I would think any lake is a good sucker lake. They like live bait. Just don't cast a bobber out and sit in one spot if that's what you have been doing in the past.

In most cases I think past success is what determines a lake to be a "good sucker lake."

The chain used to be a good sucker lake. Too many gizzard shad now.

Speaking of suckers, do any bait shops stock suckers in October
In vermilion bay, Ontario. Will be fishing Eagle in mid October and
Was curious about their availability. I know Eagle has a good sucker
Bite at this time of year. Thanks for your help
