| Anyone having any luck floating suckers? I'm planning on taking a day off work next week and coming up to the lake to fish a little. Haven't got out all year. Still fairly novice, so any pointers on fall fishing would be well appreciated.
PS, I'm too broke for a guide otherwise yes I would get one |

| Hey Jeff---I was just out on Webster last wkend for the first time this year. Fishing was "steady" several follows-------had three on suckers. Biggest fish came on a dbl 10 bucktail---abt 48 inches. Not going "GANGBUSTERS" yet-----water temps were in the middle 50's and the 45 mph winds and rain didn't really help much. Gonna be Indian Summer this week with air temps in the 70's-----so much for helping the lakes to finish turning over. Fish were MOVING------quickly so you can use whatever you'd like and probably get some action. I'm gonna wait another week before coming back down there-----hope for some cooler temps------Good Luck----Jobu |

Location: syracuse indiana | well that all depends Dubs350. first off the bait shop in town ye-old has very good suckers and their store in right in town across from ACE hardware and in the sjopping mall between CVS and the gas station. their address is 703 main st hwy 13 they have a huge selection of musky stuff too..
now for the lakes
Webster has 2 ramps, one is a state ramp off of backwater rd. east of hwy 13. and the other is in town. turn east at the ligure store and that will take you to dixi rd and the ramp is right off that rd to the left
Barbee is 4 miles south of webster, the state ramp is off of B7 (on 13 just before the flowing well. if you get to the number 1 bait store you missed it.) there is a brown state ramp access site sign just before that road.
and for tippie the best ramp for that body of water.. go south out of webster. as you come to the first light. cr 550/Armsrtong rd there is a closed pizza place and a funeral home at that light. turn right go about 4 miles. there is a state ramp there on grassy creek that will go to tippie or into barbee (if you can fit through the lock) but i suggest to continue west and you will see a pie eye'd pete's sign on both sides of the road. you will turn right on T17 then turn right on the second road and P.E.P will be on the left... good ramp 10.00 will get you in and out. #*^@ good food . they have a kick butt bar too. if you need any other info let me know...bill

Location: Van Buren, Indiana | Was out on Tippy today the only boat as far as we could see! Weather was a pain in the nice try! Felt like November not October! Found out pike like Shadillac's too!! My friends smiling at his catch was worth it!!

Fish were moving last weekend----just gotta turn the lookers into biters and we'll be in business. Can't wait for the clickers to start "singing"-----music to my ears. See you guys on the water-----Jobu |

| just got back from Webster-----talk about WINDY!!!! nothing like fishing in a HURRICANE to keep you on your toes. Wish the fish were biting------but that was not the case. We had 6 rips on suckers------but they were dropping the sausages as quickly as they picked them up. Water temps were anywhere from 48 on Backwater to 53 out on the main. After the sleet, wind, and rain the next three days---it ought to drop some more. Hope they start biting soon. Great seeing you Johnny----gotta hang again soon----Jobu |

| Just got back from the BEST weather weekend this whole fall , so far, on Webster. Light winds, overcast-----alittle sun-----crisp morning temps----and water temps from 42 on Backwater to 47 on the main lake. Fishing was pretty inconsistent-----went 3 for 4 -----36,37,and a nice fat 43 on a sucker. Looks like a warm up next weekend----that'll probably shut the fishing down again--haha. At least we'll get a few more wkends before the ice sets up. Good luck------Jobu |

| Just gt back from another WINDY weekend on Webster. Lots of boats out there Saturday--soakin' up the rays. We went 1 for 2---a nice chunky 38 on a quick strike rig. Lost about a 45 five feet from the boat--oh the pain! The weather was gorgeous until the 40 mph winds started howling again. Water temps were around 47-48 on the main lake. Fish are STILL scattered---got one up shallow-----and one out deep----I wish they would make up their minds----sheesh! Try it again next weekend. Good luck---Jobu |

| Trent M that pretty much is the case right now . I was out last week with Keith Cortopassi (who is absolutly on fire this year ) and we got 3 in two days , 45 1/2 and 46 both on meat one 36 on a pounder . If you are not dragging at leat two suckers out there you are wasting your time . Keith has gotten 51.6, 50.6, 49.75 , multiple 46, and 44 recently all on meat using MUSKY PSYCHO live bait rigs he makes (only ones i use ) . You get one or two shots a day on meat right now . FISHING SUCKERS IS A MUST OUT THERE !!! |

| Sounds like everyone is "in the same boat" out there right now. Suckers are the most productive choice right now-----but we've gotten fish on everything from spinners to Grandmas in the last two weeks too. Just gottta find the hungry ones, I suppose. See you guys on the water----Jobu |
