| I'm heading to LOTW tomorrow, but figured I would ask to see if any has found any good patterns recently. I heard lake temps have been fluctuating so I'm just wondering weed bays or main lake rocks?
Thanks

| I hear the fishing has been brutal lately, but I'll be in that area for a week starting this Thursday too. Hopefully someone can share some current information on lure choices, patterns, etc. Good luck Chris. |

| Well we just got back saturday from a 9 day stay weather was almost to nice the first few days but the fish responded ok. We finally got some weather on thursday and fishing was good it seemed like everything in the box worked but it changed everyday. You really had to mix it up as far as lure selection one day they would chase bucktails to the boat and just explode on them boatside the next they would eat a slow twitched grandma half way back to the boat. We caught a few on topwaters and some on gliders and everything we caught was on the rocks should be good it only got better for us wish i was still there. We ended up boating 17 fish with the biggest being 45 inches and once again the one that got away or should i say all the ones that got away almost shadow that number so good luck should be perfect timing. |

Location: Oswego, IL | I just got back Sat from entire week. Was really tuff, dont exactly know where FishBigMama50 was fishing, but was tough for us. Water was brown, not like the clear stuff that normally was up there. So if you didnt smack them with your lure, chances are they didnt come up. We did raise a few and hooked up, but the numbers were completely down from last year when we went. Water temps were low (mid 60) and windy a few days. Buddy hooked a biggins on a cisco kid, broke the lure at boatside, I couldnt believe it. Twitch baits were the ticket for us, threw bucks all day for a couple days and didnt get much action at all a few missed the baits completely. The wierd thing also is the accidental pike, were also slow, not much action there either. I am guessing the water color, and temp had A LOT to do with the action seeing I was up there during a new moon/full moon. Most everyone at the lodges said the same thing, SLOW. Go figure. I used to be able to see about 8-10ft in that water, now lucky to see 1-2ft. Although I didnt go any further north than big narrows, water was really stained. Good luck. |

| Fishing was "average" two of us put 17 in the boat in 8 days - you still work for your fish on LOTW (most years) - there is good weeds between sabaskosing and firebag on a lot of the shorelines - but most of our fish were on rocks. (thats as far east as I went from the Angle) - I like 1-2 foot of visability, fish were HOT when you got them to move but # of follows was way down. |

Location: Lake of the Woods, Morson, Ontario | In the middle of a cold front with strong winds. Pretty severe electrical storm last night with some rain and thunder boomers. Had a lightning bolt come down very close to the resort and wreak a little havoc with the power system.
Most of the muskie reports are that things are pretty tough. I don't plan to uncover the boat until Saturday evening. There won't be any 9pm outings for me the rest of the week.
Water temp at the dock this morning was still 66. |

Location: Lake of the Woods, Morson, Ontario | Water has warmed up a few degrees and the fish are moving a bit. Most of the reports are from rock structure. Double 10's, mag dawgs, spinner baits and jerks have been doing the job.
Not much of a topwater bite yet. Hope that changes.
Some strong south wind today, but that shouldn't hurt air or water temps much.
Things are looking much better this week compared to last. |
