Shawano Lake

[Josh Heling]

Sorry for the lack of reports this last week. I have been really busy fishing and working my real job, which just changed to nights. It sucks!!
Well, fishing is going really good now on Shawano for musky. Finding a lot of fish on the edges with nice green cabbage weeds, and also finding some out deep in like 25fow. Jerk baits, topwaters, and the Beast Teaser double #9's have been my bait of choice.
My dad went out the other morning to try trolling for walleyes with crawler harnesses. He was able to put 1 nice 19in eye in the boat which was released, but the perch seemed to get to the crawlers before the walleyes.
Well good luck and stay safe this holiday weekend!!

Well made it out on the water last night for a fun trip with some friends!
The muskies were hot for the first 1 1/2 hrs. We saw a lot of fish and were able to put two nice fish in the boat 36.5" and 37", along with losing a couple in between. All the fish saw and lost were in the mid to upper 30's.
We had fishing going on anything from jerkbaits to topwaters in natural colors. It seemed that the fish were holding in the 12-14fow range.
Once the sun went down and the air cooled down you couldn't buy a follow or a hit.

Good Luck!!

Hi-
What do you think this latest cold front will do to the fishing Sat.?? I'm going regardless because my time out there is limited but I've been jinxed by the weather this whole season. Is Shawano Lake able to keep the musky's active even with the drastic weather changes? Thanks for any help or ideas you are willing to share.

Good luck
