| Just wondering what your thoughts are as to what this cool weather, temps in the 40's-50's overnight are going to do to the fishing? Any comments, thoughts or ideas on this?
Good luck to all.

| It seemed like yesterday morning that it had the fish really moving. We raised three fish and my partner caught one a 38" on a black Mag. Dawg. I also caught a very fat bass and we had several pike hitting. All the fish were hitting baits and seemed pretty aggressive. |

Having water temperatures drop back into the 70's will be a good thing.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Water temps on Moen in Rhinelander were down to 74.5 in the shallows Tuesday night, and the fish were definitely there and on. I lost three (bad luck, I guess) in less than three feet of water on Violent Strike giant willowleaf spinnerbaits. I hope the warme weather coming this weekend isn't another stinking 'trend'. |

(of course, my water is still coming down out of the mountains in the form of run-off, so water temps are still well below 80) |

I'm out in South Dakota, no muskies but three pike were caught today during the PWT tournament that were 20 to 25#. Oahe has some nice pike, as well as a ton of walleyes. |

Location: Ogden, Ut | Yeah neat place, huh? Curious thing about it, despite the relatively high number of monsters out there, few people target them (or at least not many when I was there). They seem to be more into catch rate than big fish. I saw some in trap nets during egg take operations that could best be described as 'scary'!

(and you're not as far from muskies as you might think ) |

Cold Temps can not make the fishing any worse than it has been this summer in Minnesota. |

| Just got back from a few quick days up on Eagle. It was hot last week and warm Sat/Sun. It blew, it cooled down and the last day (Wed) I popped a 45 and 49 on rocks. Water temps dropped to about 71...I'd say I like the cooler weather!!!
These two fish had alot of steam and were agressive, to say the least. The 45 ate on a figure 8 and blastd out of the water 3 times and the 49 came screaming out of nowhere and just inhaled the bucktail with an awesome headshake and 3 deep power dives.
Pictures will be posted once I get them in a week or so...that's another story! |
