Muskie Fishing -> General Discussion -> Small Lake-How should I fish it?

Subject: Small Lake-How should I fish it?


I fish a small lake around 300 acres in Illinois that has been stocked with muskies for around 10 years-that I know of for sure. The fish in this lake aren't too big yet, every once in a while you hear of a mid 40" fish but for the most part the average would be about 30". I fish mostly from shore and I was wondering how I should fish it?

Lake: 300 acres, Rocky shorelines, lots of brush, dam, about 4 small bays, and the lake has very little weeds.

I was wondering what you'd throw to produce some of these fish?

Oh, to add to what I just said, there is tons of panfish, we catch our 25 limit per person in crappies almost every time we go out, theres ciscos, bullhead, and many walleyes as well. The lakes deepest spot is 40' and there is a little rock island right in front of the dam that many people say there is a bar that protudes out from this island.

I'd stick with smaller baits like Mini Cherry Twists or Hawg Wobblers. Shallow to medium cranks. Nice glide baits that won't dive too deep, like Undertakers or 6" Reef Hawgs.
Small bucktails also.

throw on a bucktail or spinnerbait, top-raider and have at
er'! You'll find them.
