The last three days been filming for the final shoot of my Flowage Muskies DVD. It went well, monday morning, 5 minutes into the day, our sucker went nuts, and tyler treland set the hook on a fat 45 1/2 incher. we then fished the rest of the day, and at about 1 pm, I set the hook on a fish, got a head shake out of it, and lost it, so that sucked. The fish that day were on top of the spots, we had the boat in like 4 feet of water, and all of our action was on suckers.

Tuesday was slow, had about a mid 40 inch fish follow a squirko, but didn't eat a sucker, that was it for the day.

Then today we lost a nice on at about 10:30 on a sucker, never saw it, but it was heavy and stayed on the bottom. then about an hour later, had smaller musky grab a sucker and we missed it when we set the hook, it was ok though it was small. about an hour after that got about a 36 incher in the boat on a sucker on a weed edge, and about an hour after that got another one about 37 inches. not a bad day, especially since we were done at 2:30 today!

Water temps are dropping after a cold night last night, they are in the mid to upper 50's now.

Good luck,
Tanner Wildes

Thanks for the reports this year Tanner, it has been cool to see some nice fish coming out of the Chip, and you taking time to make a report. I have never been on the Chip but have many fond memories of Frenchy Lamays stories there. I even have a few of his early hand carved collectables hanging in my living room. I actually met Frenchy shortly before his passing and he was kind enough to sign some of my baits.

Tanner,
Live bait is your productive bait right now, with the water temps where there at why not artificial baits. I have a preconceived notion of live bait in cold water? Is it cause the muskies are not active for artificials?

Kevin,
With the warm up we had, it was cold and then warmed up quickly, suckers were still the best bait, I think because of it warming up so quickly it was a shock to there system, and we had to put the suckers right in the weeds to get the fish, but now that we are having a bit more typical october weather, we are getting fish to chase artificials again, we lost a good fish on a shallow dawg today.

Good luck,
