Congratulation TY and Rachel:

As a father of two aspiring college students, I can honestly say there is nothing, including musky fishing, that compares with raising a child. It has it's ups and...

Thanks Ty:

Makes very good sense. The fish obviously don't pack up and leave or stop feeding.

Ty:

I must say that this weekend on the Big Chip was not a confidence builder. Rarely do I go an entire weekend without at least having a follow or a flash. The last fish I boated was Labor...

Nice job, heard about your fish from Jeff at the lodge. Later that evening, a 42" fish was boated and released near Flat Island. Great weekend for the Westside!

Slow on Friday, but I did have a nice a nice follow off the weed edge in Milwaukee Bay. Finally, this morning, I boated and released a very healthy 47" fish. After watching Ty twitch-and-reel a...

Ty:

On behalf of Tom and myself, we wanted to thank you again for a great experience. We were both very impressed and learned much (i.e. I am only taking three baits from now on - and I've been...

Had a chance to come up this weekend as the rest of the family headed south for a few days to the WI Dells (I am too old & beat-up for all the water rides):

I had two nice, but slow follows come...

Well, indirectly, I think I can post this fish because I was fishing on the Upper Chippewa River Basin. I'm teaching summer school at North High, so I am not able to get up to Tiger Musky Trailer...

Does anyone have experience fishing for muskies in Crane Creek, from Minnesota Bay to Crane Lake?
I realize this long channel becomes a thoroughfare for summer boat traffic, but as an area with...

Finally some weather that works! Had a couple follows yesterday evening and another this morning near Cedar Tops. Most of the muskies that have been boated over here have been caught by people...

Minnesota Bay down to Horseshoe Island south shoreline. Based on the slow weed growth, they still may be found back in Minnesota Bay. They were mostly mixed in with crappies. Minnesota Bay tends...

Spent about four hours yesterday hunting for the green monster. Ran my milk run once in the morning and again in the evening. Twin Island, Milwaukee Bay, backside of flat, and Cedar Tops at...

Thanks for the info

Ty,

Based on the level of the Chippewa River in Eau Claire, I would assume the Musky Opener on the Flowage will feature high water. Does this affect your tactics any more than water temperature...

Ty:

Have you been letting the suckers 'free swim' or ar they on some type of float?

Also: I was at Gander Mountain in Eau Claire last night and they have a tank full of 10-12" suckers-easily...

Spent the weekend up at the Flowage-for any of you not around Saturday night, it was quite a storm system. One of the larger bog pieces that was stuck in the back of Milwaukee Bay, near the entrance...

I was fishing on the Chippewa River tonight, casting a #20 GreenTiger Skinner using a twitch 'n pause retrieve. A good size muskie struck the bait just as I was starting a figure 8. I raised up my...
