The musky season opener for our area found water temps. in the low 60's, and good weed growth. The bite has been for the most part shallow - on the rocks and in the weeds. Small spinner/plastic combos such as Slippery Sams or rubber baits such as Bulldawgs have been the best producing baits so far this young season.

Musky mahem continues in Central WI! We have been contacting multiple fish on each outing, even our shorter trips - tonight was no exception. Fellow Wisconsin Angling Adventures guide Jesse Chellevold and I teamed up on a day off to do a little musky fishing before Central WI became tornadoville. The bite was again hot, as we both hooked and lost 2 decent fish. I finally boated a stocky 35" musky on a bucktail and Jesse caught and released a massive 49" brute that crushed a crankbait. All fish were of course released!

Musky fishing has improved as the water levels have become stable and cleared up some after all the rain. Fish have been relating to deep weed edges and/or channel edges and can be caught on crankbaits, deeper running bucktails, and jerkbaits. Brighter colors have been working best, and remember to figure-eight!

Musky fishing here in Central WI on the Wisconsin River and it's flowages has been terrific so far this season - this past week was no exception. A good deal of our fish are coming on crankbaits fished along deep weed edges or along sharp breaks. Most of the fish seem to be holding just off the deeper structure, and are eating aggresively! Jerkkbaits and surface baits have also been working well, but need to be fished with an erratic action for best results. While morning and evening have been good, with our darker water there remains a good mid-day bite as well, with several fish having been caught and released this past week during the hours of 11:00am-4:00pm. Good luck!

Let 'em go, let'em grow!

This has been quite a year already for musky fishing in Central Wisconsin, and tonight another slob was caught and released. The photo below is WAA guide Brett Jolly with a dandy 49" release on a jointed crankbait. The fish was caught adjacent to a steep drop off, and makes the 2nd 49" release for our crew in the past 2 weeks or so! It'd sure be nice if this keeps up...

Musky Fishing remains very good in the Central WI area! We are moving a bunch of fish and boating multiple fish per outing is becoming quite common. The bite is best in evening although early morning has produced some fish as well. Most of our fish are eating surface baits or bucktails although aggressively worked twitch baits work well also. We could sure you some rain for the rivers and to cool surface temps down, but the fishing is HOT!

Musky fishing has been excellent as of late on Lake Wausau. Between Saturday and Sunday alone, I know of a heavy 47" and 48 3/4" release as well as a monster 51" with a 25" girth (also released)! In addition to those beauties, there were several more fish caught and released.

Most of the action has been either on rubber such as Bull Dawgs, Twin Fins, Big Joes, or on quick-strike rigged suckers.

Not only have the muskies been quite active, but the bigger northern pike as well. On Sunday, we boated 6 pike between 32"-38" from 2 boats and I heard from several other anglers who were also encountered some good sized pike while musky fishing.

Tight lines and bent rods,

Joel

I'll second Joel's comments. The fishing has been excellent with action through out the day from several fish on one location to a few here and there over deeper humps/breaks. Bulldawgs have worked well, along with quick rig sucker presentations. Last weekend was Bill's Musky Club's Fall outing and we saw two fish caught within 20 yards of our boat and I lost one on a dawg.
Keep the reports coming Joel - I'm heading out again on Friday evening and most of the day on Saturday.

The musky action has been very steady over the last week. Through out the weekend we came in contact with 5 fish. The first was a big fish that I lost on a sucker rig (bad hook-set, didn't break the sucker hooks free). We could see right away the fish was in the high 40's and that only one treble was in the corner of her mouth - until she did a few head shakes. Second fish was stocky 37" taken on a sucker rig. Then we lost 2 more on suckers, fish ran with the sucker and when we went to set the hooks - nothing. (Any tips on higher sucker rate hook ups would be appreciated). I then stuck a fat 42" with a twitch bait and about 15 minutes later saw a 37-38" fish hammer the twitch bait at boat side, jump straight out of the water about 2 feet, twist and shake and spit the bait about 5 feet in the air. Pretty cool to see, but sad we lost the fish. We'll be out again this weekend.
