Late ice out and cool water temps made this years first few days of Muskie fishing different than most years, but fish have still been catchable. With new weed growth difficult to find, water temperature has been very important in finding fish. A couple of degrees warmer water from the rest of a lake has made a big difference. We've been having action in areas of 4' and less and also getting some fish over open water running lures only a few feet below the surface. 6" twitch baits and jerk baits have both been working well. I am expecting this same pattern to be effective for the next week or two until the weed growth progresses further. No big fish sightings for me yet but some warmer temps should help bring up the water temperatures and help get the bigger fish moving, still fun to have action from fish in the 30's. Good Luck!!
