Posts: 58 | Back a week now from our trip Obabikon lodge. Everyone was talking about Esox being off this year so concentrated on walleye, smallies, and crappies at the elbow. Last day fished muskie about 2 hrs in Miles bay throwing bucktails. Caught a 50 (personal best) and a 44. Whish we would have thrown more for them. Also why is it I have caught Muskies 37" to 50" but have never caught one in the 20"s or smaller? Caught hundreds and hundreds of pike in the 20s...... | ||

Location: Contrarian Island | usually I don't mind if I hear the fishing was bad the week prior. Usually means the weather wasn't that favorable and odds are they will be biting ... I will agree LOTW was a bit off this year, lots of rain/current had fish scattered but it's still one of the best places on earth to fish for muskies... | ||

Posts: 1356 | Wherever you go you will hear two things. You should have been here last week. And in the weed bed in front of the Johnson place lives the biggest muskie you ever seen. | ||

Posts: 181 | So you were there the week of the 8th? How was the walleye bite? Were they still on deep reefs or moving shallow? I was in Miles bay a month earlier and it was tough. | ||

Posts: 58 | They were moving to deep reefs when we left. It was the slowest walleye Ive experienced there, even crappie at the elbow were slow. Contacted my guide the other day he said walleye are still slow. | ||
