Bass Lake Muskies!

[Ifishtolive]

It was the white belly/black-gold back. The ones I have were first generation from the Chicago show last year they sink. Though I would like to get a floating and wieght it to suspend, that would be interesting. I am hoping to pick up a couple more this winter! It's nice that they do not tear, If I make it out before ice up I want to try jigging them, like a dying shad.

Thanks. Supposed to be in the 60s and rain down here Monday. Then snow is possible on Thanksgiving. hard to say about ice up down here. There is a video you moght want to check out if you havent already seen it. It is some guys from southern Indiana muskie fishing on Bass lake in winter. they are jigging a Fuzzy Duzzit and catching some. It is on You Tube under Southern Indiana Musky.

Does anyone know what year they started stocking muskie in Bass Lake was? Just trying to figure out the size potential in the lake.

[Ifishtolive]

They have been stocked at five fish per acre since '97or '98. The 2007 or 2008 survey caught 68 muskies and the sizes averaged from around 34"-44". If you go to our Hoosier Muskie Hunter site and look in the archives the last survey is posted. There are some nice fish there. If you live down that way you should also give Waveland lake a try. Those muskies should be reaching 34-36".
