| Pastika's Sports Shop is a musky icon in the middle of Hayward, can't miss it. It has been several years since I was last on the Chip but did fish it with a so-so guide a few times back then and a couple times on my own. Guide's name was Dorazio if I recall correctly. Anyone know him?  The trips with Dave were in September. Find Herman's Landing on a map and look E, NE, SE from there. Several of the famous bars are there and marked. They may be community spots, but they are still worth fishing hard. We fished the aformentioned bars each time and other spots on the west side. Bucktails, topwater and Cranes were thrown most of the time. My points being..........first, I am not what I would call familiar with the Chip by any stretch of the imagination, but I would still feel comfortable that I was on decent spots/water for a weekend. Stick to the bars, stumps and weeds adjacent to channel areas. Second, Dave is probably booked, Ty Sennett too if he is in the area..........but I would call one of them to see if they are available for a day (heck, 1/2 day). If not, you may catch them on an unusual day when they are friendly and they might share some tips.Edited by BigMo 9/8/2008 11:15 AM | |||

| Just got back from my trip to the flowage and had a great time. We ended up fishing friday and saturday. Friday started out pretty good with a cool foggy morning raised a couple fish and lost one shortly after hookup. Then the sun burned off the fog and presented us with some pretty tough conditions no clouds and no wind. Saturday morning was pretty much like friday morning, but by mid morning the rain started to come down and rained on and off for the rest of the day. I ended up catching a chunky 40 incher around 4:00 right at boatside. We fished the east side of the lake. Weed flats in 8 feet of water were the most productive with sand flats coming in second. Black and Green bucktails pulled over the tops of the weeds were the presentation of choice followed by pacemakers and spinnerbaits.
