| Heading with Dad next week. School is over, nothing left to do but find some 50's. Wondering if anyone has info on water temps, and weed growth depth? Also any other information would be greatly appreciated.

Location: Racine, Wi | Can't help you with temps as of yet, but I'll be up there on Sunday through Tuesday before headng further north. I'll be on the LDF chain those days. Depending on where we fish, I'll try to give you some reports. If you see a black and white Crestlilner Fish Hawk with a Yami, stop on by. |

Location: NW WI | Last Saturday, water temps on Flambeau Lake were between 61-63 depending on where you were. Weed growth is definitely ahead of schedule for this time of year. With the predicted sunny skies this coming weekend, I'd focus on deeper structure close to spawning areas. |

| Fished on Wednesday night, Thursday and Friday all day and night. Raised only 3 fish. We fished well know structure and other family spots. Tough Bite indeed. Had to come home early, I hope somebody got something today. |

Location: NW WI | Fished Flambeau and Pokegamon today from sunup till 2 PM. Water temps from 68.5 to 69.2. Had two follows in the AM and that was it. Fished lots of different structure and depths. Big baits and small baits....mostly natural colors. I thought the action would pick up before the rains came and the wind switched.....but it never happened.
But it was a great day on the water! |

There's a decent chance I'll be on Flambeau and Pokegama tomorrow June 12. Hopefully the musky Gods will look favorably down upon us!!! |

| The boat is loaded, the wife on her way home, we have invited the musky Gods for extra companionship!
A few new lures in the arsenal, did the pre-trip sport shop run yesterday and uff-da, like grocery shopping when your hungry, not the best idea for the old pocketbook! I cant wait to see how my new Bucher Chrome Depth Raider works in the crystal clear waters of White Sand, hold on tight muskies! |

Location: NW WI | It was at tough day for us on Pokegama on Saturday. Was only able to fish for 4 hours, but we hit a bunch of good spots and only had a 12" northern to show for it. Water temps dropped 4-5 degrees with the rain, but the conditions seemed at least favorable with clouds and a light chop.
I wonder if we're not fishing deep enough? We'll fish different depths, but about the deepest we'd have the boat is in the lower 20 feet range. We're not seeing any weeds at those depths, and we believe we're hitting the outer weed edges. The weeds are up as good as any lake I've been on in mid June.
We've fished weeds, sand and rock and in 12 hours so far, have 2 follows to show for it. I've heard this chain can be tough, but we've fished quality structure and I would have thought with the water temps and weed growth where they're at, we would've had more action.
But we'll keep trying!
p.s. was anybody from this board fishing Center Bar on Saturday about noon in a newer single console Crestliner with a Evinrude? You had somebody with you but he/she wasn't fishing

Location: Contrarian Island | my advice is if this chain of lakes is somewhere you are going to go back to year after year invest in a day or 2 with Doug Smith out of Rolllies and it will be money well spent.... |

My friend bought a place on Flambeau 2 yrs ago he's fished with Doug once for sure..maybe 2X. I guess they fished Long Interlochen and Flambeau. He and I fished with another guide (Dave Lang) on Pokegama and we had action there and my friend blew a low 40's fish.
I consider myself a decent stick and good at analyzing situations then adapting. That's why I'm puzzled but then again....these fish can drive us nuts sometimes!! LOL!!!! Maybe these fish suspend more...and we both hate fishing suspended "open water" fish, opting for structure type of fishing. Doesn't have to be shorelines.....it's just nice to know we're throwing at "something".
Thanks for the feedback Brad. |

| Cool water temps and early to mid June would not make me look deeper.
If they are suspending they are probably high, not down. |

Temps dropped 4-5 degrees from 68 to 63.5 from the previous weekend. Weeds seem to be at early July heights.
NE wind at ~8 mph. Air temp = 58. Overcast skies. Where would you look in these conditions after a water temp drop like that? |
