| Hey Guys/Gals
I am heading up to the flowage tommorow morning for a week of rod bending action. I was wondering if anyone had any recent reports of what has been working well, key times , and anything else that would help.
Thanks in advance

| Check in the fishing reports forum as you might get better responses there. I do know that fish have really been going out there right now particularly tigers on topwaters. I have not been up there but Ty Sennett keeps a pretty good daily report on his site. www.tysennett.com |

| Chin, the Fishing Barbarians crew will be up there camping about the same time period, for sure will be ringing the "bell" and having some celebratory shots at the Little Red Bar.
You hit it right on with bucktails (ghost tails) and topwater (Creepers), as far as colors 2big, chartrouse and orange are productive. Plan on spending time out at dark for some productive action. |

| Who ever is at the Little Red Bar there will be a cold Hamms on me, celebrating the big catch of the day, if you swing by Pine Island any time between the 9-16th come join us for a drink and participate in a game of water wiffle ball!! Dont worry about our barbaric antics, just a good group of middle aged guys (30-45)having a good time without wives and kids...
I am getting excited just thinking about it!
What are the water levels like now? |

Location: Cave Run Lake KY. | You play wiffel ball in the waters around Pine island you must be barbarians, Shark's to the left,. Shark's to the right. They come out at night to feed on small dogs and cats and then there is the mystery of the missing lower unit. Ill be in the log cabin at the Trail keep the noise down. Do they still make Hamms if they do Ill have one Thank You. If you see a red@black 17' Hydra-Sport with a black Jhonrude Suzy on it that would be me. Your Hamms might just disappear.  |

JKahler, one of the barbarians actually is a clown, for real..every year same week, second weekend in August.
Groceries and beverages have been bought, first crew will arrive on Friday and the final barbarian on Sunday morning. |

Location: WI | Alright, I was at the Trail' the same time as you guys last year then. Someone in your group lost a pig when it bit through a flourocarbon leader right? Have fun and lmk where all the fish are as I won't be out there until the last week of Aug! |

| Yes, I lost the pig, Chartrouse Triple D... I have vowed and will never use florocarbon leaders again!
It was a very, very large fish, would have been my personal best.
I just started getting my lures together tonite, musky fishing has been phenomenal in central wisconsin, multiple fish nites on top water, just priming the pump.
The moon and the weather look to be very inviting. |

| Moved a 45-50 inch fish on Sunday in 3 fow, had a few other encounters throughout the week, 44.5 boated on Thursday.
They turned on really good after and during the storms on Wednesday, if I wasnt so scared of lightning we would have probably boated a few more... |
