I'm an original here most the muskie information i have gotten from this page has always been good. I have also purchased alot of lures when that was running. So even though this site has slowed down I always have checked back in. Was up on LOTW for the last two weeks pressure was high and sightings were low I heard alot of people were have the same issue. Over that two weeks seen 20 plus caught 4 and one over 48. In the past though you would see 20 a day. Alot of the videos you are seeing on social media of LOTW huskies have torn gills and handling marks. Fish i moved up there you could see recent hook marks. Used to be able to throw a dart at the map and have it all to yourself. Now you run 20 minutes to a bay pass 15 boats and two are sitting in that bay. I would have never thought a lake the size of LOTW would recieve enough pressure for it to show up? You guys that go there more often seeing the same or was this year a fluke with the water temps so high? Definitely had an effect on them for sure but just seeing fish was rough. I also fished it all. Besides flat open water. Just wondering what you older users think or are seeing. Thanks
