tj,
good to hear from you and it would be great to have you in camp.
kind of season it's been man. got to stay positive.we've boated alot of good fish and some big ones as you can see on the pics posts and i haven't posted a pic in a month+ with a bunch to do but as i'm sure you're aware of all over musky country it's been an up and down season mainly because of weather patterns being so inconsistant. really eagle has held up better than many and most.we've had a consistant bite if not consistant patterns throughout but anytime we get off the e-se winds into predominate w and any stable weather things light right up into an awesome bite,seeing 10-15+ getting shots at multiple fish and we get all excited then the weather turn horse%#$& again and it goes back to working for them,seeing 4-10 a day,getting a shot or 2 a day and making them count.hey thats musky fishing and regardless here you're never more than cast away from a jumbo.can't change the weather,just adapt to it and go for it.
taht being said you needd to just pick a time that fits you're schedule and the time mof the season/weather you like and pray for good conditions because regardless of time of the season,moon phases,etc,weather on any given week you're here trumps all. neither of us can predict in advance. main thing is spend the time and learn the lake well and when it's so-so you'll do ok and when shes hot you'll kick ass.the big fish don't leave the lake,like i said any cast...... if you like topwater/tails,and a predominate weed,weed/rock combo bite with long days and a long pm after supper then july aug is hard to beat, sept and oct is more rocks than weeds and add cranks,rubber,livebait,and trolling.eagle has always been famous for big fish during the fall trophy hunt.
under a NORMAL weather season we see peaks in mid july through labour day and last of sept thru mid oct again which weeks are all about the weather though this season several of our biggest so far where caught end of june.
no matter when you'll get the latest and up to date skinny daily ,much more than on the reports,you'll be on some of the best trophy water there is, and we go from there.thats musky fishing!!! we'll mdo our best for ya.
