Other than Ciscos, Tulibee and Whitefish, what other types of baitfish migrate to the shallows in the fall to spawn or for other reasons?

Is water temp the deciding factor for these movements or is it something else?

If water temp is the reason, then at what water temps do each of these bait fish make this move?

What size/age of female muskies make the best spawners for numbers/survival success rates and the potential for trophy size of thier offspring?

Why do lakes without Northern Pike tend to have very little trophy potential for muskies?

What strategies do you feel are best for increasing the trophy potential for WI waters? Size limits? Slot limits? Bag limits? Strain of fish stocked? etc...

Water temps and the moon have a lot to do with it. They mostly spawn on the full moon of November from what I have been told.[;)]
