Sabaskong in August or later

[jyoung]

I hear alot that July is great for muskies over in the Sabaskong Bay area. What about August and later into the fall? Is the algae bloom a big problem? If I can't get up there in July, what would be the better time to go muskie hunting, August, Sept., or October? What tactics and locations would be best?<P>Thanks<BR>Jeff

My opinion on August is that it gets a little slower on Musky in the Sabaskong area. We usually head west to the North side of Big Island that time of year.<BR>As for other months I think October is the prime time for Musky. Pulling cranks through every channel with current and around every rock pile between Morson and Nestor Falls usually produces. In the past we have gone late in October but the weather by that times becomes very unpredictable.<BR>Just my two cents.<BR>Good luck.

If you ask me any one who trolls for the muskey.....IS NOT a Fisherman!! <P>All you are doing is going for a boat ride...you don't get the excitement of the of strike or the follow.......THE HUNT!!!<BR>This is what muskey fishing is all about.<P>Muskey fishing is a sport!!<P>

First off you should learn to spell Musky, or Muskie.<P>Second, I troll for Musky, as well as cast. I'll guarantee you one thing, if you are trolling right, there is a heck of a lot more to it then going for a boat ride. Matter of fact doing it right takes more precise boat control then any sort of fishing I can think of.
