Muskie Fishing -> General Discussion -> small lake advice

Subject: small lake advice


I will be fishing a small 150 acre lake in southern Wisconsin next week-end. It is almost one giant break along banks except weedy flats at ends and clear. Water temp should be low to mid 40's. I have had limited success here, but keep going back because of all the muskies I see. Will probably throw jerk-baits and crank-baits, but any suggestions will be appreciated. Sorry to you northerners who are about done for the year!

Hard to say.....but if you tell me the name of the lake maybe I can be there to help you out..[;)] [:bigsmile:]

No really, try cranking the deep breaks. Also if it is small and there is forage in the main basin down be afraid to fish suspendos in that 150 acre lake.

Two suggestions:
Hit the flats...anything shallow from 2-8 feet with a Shallow Invader. Death twitch the hell out of it. Don't straight retrieve....twitch it to death....it's a killer cold water tactic.

Next thing, fish deep. 10" believers or other deep cranks out in the middle.

Good luck.

Shawn, if you are seeing alot of fish on this lake, I hope you are dragging a sucker or two. That may make the difference.

I second the sucker tip. A good bet for clear and pressured waters.

Thanks to you all for responding, ESPECIALLY Cory and MJB. I'll say no more there. Don't think this weekend is going to work now. That figures, get a warming trend, I'm going to have to wait and see if it holds out for another week. If not, I'll be there anyway. Thanks
