Yo Herbie! How's it hangin'?

I am attempting to plan a musky trip next year with my cohorts for a week other than the first week of the season. I need some help.

When do the ski's typically "turn on" for Eagle? Or better yet, when is the most productive time one should look to go? I have been monitoring your fishing reports this season and they are full of quality information. Paints a solid picture of what's happening on Eagle. However, it always seems like the muskies are just about ready to turn on report after report. Quality fish are always caught out of your camp which is a testament to your staff / guides and how hard they work to put your guests on fish but it doesn't seem like this year has shown defined, classic patterns. Seems like you always have to check all structure on a daily basis. That's probably just the classic pattern of musky fishing, or lack thereof. Wondering your thoughts on timing.....and also whether or not this is an off year or if it's just a classic situation of finicky musky habits.

See you next time,

TJ
