| The last three days been filming for the final shoot of my Flowage Muskies DVD. It went well, monday morning, 5 minutes into the day, our sucker went nuts, and tyler treland set the hook on a fat 45 1/2 incher. we then fished the rest of the day, and at about 1 pm, I set the hook on a fish, got a head shake out of it, and lost it, so that sucked. The fish that day were on top of the spots, we had the boat in like 4 feet of water, and all of our action was on suckers.
Tuesday was slow, had about a mid 40 inch fish follow a squirko, but didn't eat a sucker, that was it for the day.
Then today we lost a nice on at about 10:30 on a sucker, never saw it, but it was heavy and stayed on the bottom. then about an hour later, had smaller musky grab a sucker and we missed it when we set the hook, it was ok though it was small. about an hour after that got about a 36 incher in the boat on a sucker on a weed edge, and about an hour after that got another one about 37 inches. not a bad day, especially since we were done at 2:30 today!
Water temps are dropping after a cold night last night, they are in the mid to upper 50's now.
Good luck,
Tanner Wildes

| Thanks for the reports this year Tanner, it has been cool to see some nice fish coming out of the Chip, and you taking time to make a report. I have never been on the Chip but have many fond memories of Frenchy Lamays stories there. I even have a few of his early hand carved collectables hanging in my living room. I actually met Frenchy shortly before his passing and he was kind enough to sign some of my baits. | |

| Tanner,
Live bait is your productive bait right now, with the water temps where there at why not artificial baits. I have a preconceived notion of live bait in cold water? Is it cause the muskies are not active for artificials? | |

| Kevin,
With the warm up we had, it was cold and then warmed up quickly, suckers were still the best bait, I think because of it warming up so quickly it was a shock to there system, and we had to put the suckers right in the weeds to get the fish, but now that we are having a bit more typical october weather, we are getting fish to chase artificials again, we lost a good fish on a shallow dawg today.
Good luck,
Tanner wildes | |
