Posts: 2691 Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin | We boated 4 fish with a 39 being the biggest. Headbanger scored the big one. Bucktails and cranks scored the others. Your rite about the figure 8's. This is the only picture I took of the fish last night. Attachments ----------------  39sept23rd5x3.jpg (44KB - 187 downloads) | ||

Posts: 2691 Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin | I was out with my Ranger 620VS Fishermen. Crandberry in color. I had my black rain coat and green Wet Skins on. My partner that day had green Cabellas rain gear. We trolled for a couple cocktails and started to cast after we knew where most of the bait fish were hanging. the gills are comming back into the weeds in packs. The North side was the ticket Saturday. Sunday my clients caught two and lost three others. I explained that a good hook set is needed but that took a while to sink in. After a couple of lost fish they got the hint, or maybe it was persistance on talking about a good hard hook set. Spinnerbaits, bucktails and top water was all working Sunday. The biggest was only a 36-incher but that was big to these bass boys. They never casted a bait caster before or caught a muskie. After a full day in my rig they were ready to get more into muskie fishing. Another father son hooked on muskies, I love it !!! Here is Chris and his first muskie caught on a bucktail on the second turn boat side. You got to love it. Attachments ---------------- 36chris.jpg (45KB - 182 downloads) | ||

Posts: 93 Location: Waukesha, WI. | I made these two bait to fish vertically this fall. As you jig them they move in a circle. I think they should work well. Attachments ---------------- PICT0376 resize.jpg (36KB - 189 downloads) | ||

Posts: 2691 Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin | The ice is started and the lake should be ready to give up some Walleyes and Pike very soon. Sorry for the lack of reports but with bow hunting and the gun deer season added to my already buisy schedule something had to give. The muskie sizes grew as the water cooled, numbers dropped but the quality got better. Too late for reports now, if you were out you already know. The muskie fishing this year was outstanding again. As usual a few good 50 plus inchers were caught and released. One was found dead a day later from delayed mortality. My boat didn't get a 50-incher this season but they were seen casting. All in all a very good upper 30's bunch of fish ready to make the move in to the 40's. There is a major batch of low 30's growing and ready for action next year. I am looking forward to getting the chance to get back after those 50's that were released this year, last year and the year before that. Lots of upper 40's showed up this season and next year looks very good for numbers and quality. I hope everyone who checked out this thread learned something or got the itch to try Pewaukee Lake. I will be glad to help anyone learn more about the baits, patterns, spots that Pewaukee Lake has to offer South Eastern Wisconsin. If you have never fished it your missing out on a great fishory. Okauchee and Oconomowoc Lake are also very close and great lakes. Drop some of the local guides a e-mail and get into the action. As for now, it's time for fresh walleye, cards, football, venison and some cold ones. The ice is almost here and I for one can't wait. The ice shantys will be out soon and the winter action will be in full swing in a few weeks. Mike The ice is here and the walleyes are hitting!!! From last Saturday night.

Posts: 2691 Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin | Not a muskie report but for those who are looking to get out on the ice and have some fun here is the Pewaukee lake scoop. The ice is now safe for those who are looking for that fresh fish meal. We got 5-inches to 7-inches of ice as of today(1-28-07) and way more coming this week. It's about time we got some good ice!!! The muskies have been going nuts this past week. Lots of people complaining about all the muskies and not pike. I explained to everyone who is bitching about all the muskies that, everyone tends to keep all the pike. Muskies are released to enjoy time and time again. I will always stress to everyone who I meet the importance of getting to a tip-up as fast as possible to ensure the fish will not swallow the hooks. I believe that most of the harm done to muskies is done during the short winter months. Lots of muskies caught by northern fishermen who use large trebles and wire leaders. I personaly don't run large hooks or wire. Most of the fish will inhail the minnow before you can get to your tip-up. This is why I use no.12 or no.10 thin wire hooks. I believe these little burrs of hooks will pass or dislodge as the fish eat the next meal. I use Mustad hooks because they are so light wire and will cause the least problems to the released fish. Be it a sub legal northern, walleye or muskie, they all go back and have a good chance to survive. Ok, whats been working is the WEEDS. Most of the larger fish have been taken in or on the edges of the weedlines and weed beds. The West end of Pewaukee is kicking out fish like there is no tomarrow. Most of the fish are in the 16 to 19-inch range and fat. They are very active just before dark up to 10pm or so. the morning bite is also hot from just before first light to an hour or so after light. The East end is kicking our fish all over the larger weed beds and shorelines. I have been fishing out of my brothers houses and friends houses up to now and doing exceptionally well. Get in on this action while it's hot. Fresh walleye and venison is someting special to eat while waiting for that next fish. I love this time of year, it makes the off season of muskie fishing easer to handle. Check in on the latest action at Smokey's bait shop or the Muskie Shop if your going out. I would be glad to help out if your going out on you own and looking for some advice. With the ice getting thicker and the increased action on the ice the fish will start the move to deeper water soon. Look for the flats and drop-offs to start to kicking out some fish in the next few weeks. The panfish and pike are just starting to get going on the East flats out from Taylors Bay. Head out from the launch by Smokey's Muskie Shop and go straight past the island. Fish can be anywhere from the island to Taylors and East. Please be carefull with the fish you release and PLEASE don't target muskies. I will not even set up tip-ups any earler than a hour before dark when I walleye fish just to keep the chance of getting a muskie down. Most of the muskies are caught throughout the day by northern anglers. We did catch a very nice ski at 8pm Wednesday night, she went 43-inches long and plump as can be. She was only out long enough to turn her around and put her back, no pictures, to cold and hard on the fish to keep out that time. Extreme cold will hurt the fins and eyes. Water releases are best. Here is some walleye pics from this past week.
