Heading to the chip next week and this will be my first time there. Staying at tiger musky resort. Just wonder what the fish are doing right now maybe some areas to check out... Any info would be great thanks.

The winner of the Flowage Musky Hunt 2 weeks ago caught the big fish on a black globe:

If water temps stay down (warmer weather in the forcast this week) throw Suicks, Reef Hawgs, Hawg Teasers, etc & drag meat.

Just got back from the Chip. Sunday AM water temps 56-58 degrees. Yes the weeds are dying but there are still some green weeds. After 2 1/2 days of fishing weeds with no action we stopped fishing weeds. Found fish in 14-16 feet of water casting dawgs.

We just got back from two weeks up there. Top water and Bucktails are the only thing we moved fish on. Only fished the east side though. I'll try to post a pic of a 45" that we caught.

Heading up tommorrow. Weather is taking a turn to cold and rain for the first half of the weekend. I really do love the miserable sucker fishing weather. Any reports from anyone? Thanks

Water looks to be about 4 feet low. Skunked last Saturday and not that many musky fisherman out from what I saw. Not one boat in Petes when we were headed in. Water temps started at 55 then warmed to 61. Tourney there this weekend so it'll be busy for sure!

I was up for vacation and went out a couple of times for musky and nada. Saw fish, and a couple were huge, but nothing would commit. Did better on the walleye and crappie. Early turnover had the fish all messed up.
