Jeremy,
Was out giuding clirent yesterday (11/19) and water temps were 39 degrees on Petite, Bluff & Marie. Channel & Catherine were running around 43.

Some shallow ares starting to skim up. Lake levels are down about 1 ft. and the water will continue to be drawn down until the end of November. Musky fishing has been very slow. A buddy of mine got a 34"er on Saturday on the meat.

Hope this helps.

Got out on Sunday. Water temps were 40 degrees or so in Channel and Chatherine. Saw 2 very lazy follows. Nothing on meat although it seemed to get nervous a couple of times but nothing seen hovering around it. Began the winterization when i got home.

We got out Sunday afternoon, Hit the Bob's to the boathouse stretch of Catherine real hard. Not even a follow. Tried the section in front of the Thirsty Turtle before lunch, then hit Catherine on the way out. Nothin even scared the suckers!
