Location: North-Central WI | What the hell is wrong with the Packers?! Anyway...
Today was yet another multi-musky day for us as the musky action continues to rock here in the greater Wausau area. We were able to put 2 good muskies in the boat, lose a fish, and have a mid-thirty inch range fish do everything in its power to get hooked on a Curly Sue, but just fall short - exciting non-the-less.
The musky and pike remain very aggressive with the hot weather, and some very nice fish of both species have been caught and released as of late. Fast moving presentations such as ‘burning’ a Mepps Marabou have been working well. Surface baits such as Topraiders and Top Dancers are providing exciting action during the day and nighttime hours. Look for shallower stump fields and weed edges to be holding active fish during low light periods, especially the muskies; the largest northern pike have been relating to deeper structure, even earlier in the day with the warmer water conditions. During mid day, we're catching muskies from shallow slop; both species can be found suspended, for those looking to work the open water.
Lots of options and lots of fun! While a Favre trade to the Jets hurts, boating good numbers of muskies certainly helps lessen the sting!
Tight lines,
