Muskieman,

Are you finding any consistent patterns for the muskie bite right now? I haven't been to Mille Lacs since August, but will be there on Friday. With the weather that they're forecasting (highs around 40), what do you think this will do to our muskies?

What kinds of consistent patterns/baits have you found to be productive for trolling out there. I have only tried trolling for them a few times out there with very limited success. I have always thought the potential for big fish would be huge doing this though.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, tough questions! Best bite will be Tuesday without a doubt. Muskies are VERY weather sensitive. Looking at the weather pattern I would predict a very tough bite for Saturday. I predict a feeding frenzy before the weather change tomorrow night. My suggestion to you is call in sick and get on the water tomorrow. What I have found consistent for catching muskies right now is spoons believe it or not! Every guide I have talked to recently mock my style, but it produces.I am catching nice muskies. Trolling produces monsters because you can cover 5 miles of water per hour. Went for walleyes tonight and ran out of leeches. What a bite!

Muskieman, where/how were you catching the walleyes?

I know the recent weather pattern is probably the best we've had all season. Ialso think that great bite will come to a screeching halt when that cold front moves in- I'm kicking myself for not choosing Miile Lacs this last weekend. Do you think there will be more good bites this fall?

      I have heard it's because of the drought. I know in my area ( meeker co.) the sloughs that they trap minnows in have dried up.

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!

      Minnows are 50 cents each, and leeches are $50 a pound.

      Absolutely. I get full bars all-along the drive from Cook to The Landing, and out into Head O Lakes bay. I can't say that I've stared much at my phone signal anywhere else besides on my way to Black Bay. We still don't get much for service there because there are a lot of steep slopes with tall trees in the way. That was expected though. The tower is definitely providing better service to the area in general IMO.

      Any updates on this new tower? Has it helped AT and T customers throughout the lake get better service?

      Went in to Lucky 7 to get some crappie minnows today. All they had were crappie minnows and fatheads. She said to call in advance for the opener, couldn't say for sure if they'd have rainbows, shiners, etc for opener!
