| HJ, Weeds do not grow any deeper than about 12' on the clearest of the lakes (Cathrine) on the Chain, but you already knew that,  A weedline may act as cover and allow fish to hang around a little longer after an activity period has ended but to think we need to find weeds in order to catch a fish is a myth. Odds are good at this time of the season that the fish can be found shallow, but not always. Depending on the weather and the water on the day we fish will determine where they will be found. They may be in 2' or 40'. Most guys can get em pretty good if they are in 2' but what about 40'? I think most guys fish in the same depth of water the entire day /year / life.... and if they strike out they say "they weren't bitting". Maybe they were fishing where there were no fish.... Other methods.... you mean casting, who says Spoonpluggers don't cast, got me a nice 18lbs golden muskie yesterday he he. | |||

Jerry, you are undoubtedly a fine fisherman, no question about it. I think my comment was in response to your,"so much for the weeds" statement. It came across as a shot to some advice given above. My point is that right now on the Fox Chain fish can be caught throwing bucktails into sloppy weeds or trolling 18ft and greater. Probably just a little crabby that day. See you out there.  | |||

| Fished Friday and today on the Fox Chain, I see what Jerry is talking about, I marked huge school of bait fish and large hooks as deep as 27 ft, I ran a few baits as deep as 24 ft down with no luck, maybe a vertical presentation like a blade bait or jig would have been better, I managed to put 4 in the boat on Friday the largest was 44 inches with one under 30. The water temps have dropped a few, 58 degrees. Fished with clients today, we lost a mid 40's and seen a couple fish not relating to weeds but to sand, caught one shorty. As musky fishing goes sometimes chicken sometimes feathers. Edited by MuskyFix 5/8/2010 11:58 PM Attachments ----------------  ben44.jpg (39KB - 106 downloads) | |||
