With muskies in October. I would be using buck-tails minnows baits or swim type baits. Live suckers would be great but they are going to be real had to get and expensive. Find your rock bars and on the edge of dying weed lines. I would also try Moose Lake. This is a great numbers lake. I has produced a 49 inch musky on Labor Day weekend and several others that were over 40 inches. Last year it produced a 53 inch fish. Moose gets lowered 5 feet starting on the 17th of Oct. Good Luck. Hayward Lakes Jim

Tiger cat and Twin lakes do hold good numbers of muskies but chances for a decent one are less than some of the other lakes close by. Moose, Spider, Lost Land, and Teal have good numbers too and have been producing some nicer fish and big ones too. The Chip has been very good this year with several over 50 being caught.
Depending on the conditions, some better choices for lures would be Jerk baits, Big minnow baits, and big plastics like the Bull Dawg. Finding green weeds is a good place to start looking, also rocks at times and if water temps cool down deeper cover like cribs, rock, and wood will hold skis
