Location: Long Prairie, Minnesota | Haven't been out this week, but heading out tonight. Last Saturday I fished from 0700-1530 and had really good action the entire time. Lost a very nice fish at boat side, she ate on the 8, but don't think I got the hooks buried good enough. That fish was on a double Cowgirl. Raised one other mid 40's on a slow rolling Magnum Cowgirl. The other 6 fish I raised and had chasing were all on topwater. MK-65 Flaptail, Topraider and creeper. Water temp was anywhere from 55-61 degrees depending where I was at on the lake. Found nice green weeds in the 10-13 foot range and pounded them. Fish were holding in them. Talked to another musky guy who was fishing inside of the weedline, and he had a big fish blow up on a fat bastard right after sunrise. |

Location: E. Tenn | Still dealing with the aftermath of Helene down here.. Several of the largest rivers cut new channels, will have to be remapped, and a lot of the mud and debris is working its way through the TVA system.
The first pic is the lake the folks at the NC Wildlife Resources Commission keeps their brood stock for the area hatchery which was also devastated. The dam was overtopped by some 10'. The inundated bridge normally sits 40' above the tailwater level.
Next is the silt in the parking lot at the boat ramp of the aforementioned lake.. Some of the lakes rose 20' in less than 48 hours
Lastly is an example of all the stuff being washed down the system.
Looks like there won't be any fishing, musky or otherwise for a while, unless one wants to drive a couple hours to the Clinch River drainage, which was largely unaffected.
