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
