| Toss some bulldawgs, they're supposed to be super effective during cold fronts |

| So do you expect fish to be on sharp break lines yet or where? |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Depends on the water. Some of the lakes I fish have a good number of very shallow fish right now. |

Location: northern indiana | Shallow side of breaks in the afternoon. Deeper side in the mornings. Slow it down a bit in the early morning and speed it up a bit in the afternoon. |

I agree with Steve the fish have been shallow. Well shallow for fall fishing anyway. H20 Bucketheads/hardheads have been the only thing that has been productive other than the suckers. |

| I'm going out on Kinkaid all day on Friday. Next 3 days weather....Wednesday Sunny, High 84. Thursday Sunny, High 81. Friday 14-22 MPH wind, Rain, High 54. Should I be excited about this forecast or should I be upset and prepared to get skunked?
I am new to muskie fishing, especially in the fall. I was always under the impression that cold fronts send them into hiding and clamped their mouths shut.

| We got 3 in the boat last week when temps went from 70's to 40's..........we found our fish using the milfoil here in MN.
I was concerned about very high winds but they never materialized. |

| In the fall I find cold fronts are usually of no concern.
Some of my best fishing has occurred in this situation.
I would rather have a day or two of cold temps before rather than fish the first day of it, but some may disagree. |

| Calling for 21 mph winds on Friday. From the north. They have been from the south all week, but moslty gentle breezes nowhere near 21 mph. Is this a situation where fishing "yesterday's wind" may not be the best idea? |
