| I know I'm jumping the gun a bit here, but at what water temp do you guys start trolling suckers? I love dangling some meat, but don't want to waste money killing them with the temps too high. I've only started using them the last coupe years in October but the quickly falling temps have me curious when y'all think it's an appropriate/effective method. |

Location: Roscoe IL | If they are in stock, I'll drag one around next trip out. Sure it may die but why not give it a go. |

Location: Contrarian Island | I think I have caught a musky on livebait in every month of the WI Season.. we were in Vilas one year, mid august and a nasty cold front had come thru and dropped water temps into the upper 60s. we dragged suckers and had great luck.. they weren't as lively as they are in sub 60 water but we did well... |

Location: Vilas County, WI | I agree with the others; consider meat once water temps hit the 50's.
I was out Tuesday and had 60 degrees (Vilas County). However, warmer weather is back in the forecast. |

| This fish missed the 50 degree water temp memo. First time out this season with a sucker and the water temps are 70.5 degrees.
