late september muskie lures?

First thing is...where did you get a new Top Raider??? I haven't seen one on the shelves anywhere for many months.

Late September is probably the best time of the entire year for top water. So if you're thinking of using top water, great choice. Just like with any other time of year though, it's a trial and error deal. You never know what's going to be the hot bait on any given day.

I bought my top raider at the gander mountain in Minnetonka about a month ago, but last time i was there i don't remember seeing any. although i think there was one of those super top raiders.

Start with the lures you have confidence in, then don't be afraid to experiment. I prefer the biggest bucktails you can find. You can work them shallow and deep, slow roll or burn them in. The big gals are looking for a big meal this time of year so think big! The bottom line...Let the fish tell you what they want!

      We spent Tuesday sept 26 to this Tuesday on the east end of the lake. Very consistent temperature and that southern wind with a bit of cloud cover was great for walleye fishing. We followed the wind and fished wind blown points and shoreline.  A few minutes on the graph showed us fish most places.  We saw fish, caught those fish.  We tend to fish lindy rigs but fished entirely jigs and minnows,  (y-store had plenty of bait).  Didn’t go to Big Bay but probably left some schooling fish for someone else. Caught fish all times of the day.  Didn’t need to low light for success.  Last two days of warmer temps and full sun slowed the bite a bit.  Didn’t see the 30” pigs as others have referred to but saw plenty over 20 and many of those smaller fish to remind us of the future health of the walleye population. Got to love the jig bite……

      That’s some seriously cool paint on those jigs!  Do they make them in “happy” or just “mad”? 😉

      At the Hwy 6 access on the west side.  In the willows on the south side of the access.  Full blown easy chair.   You found a commode on Big Rice?  It might be handy to know that is. 😉

      Long tails on Shags?  That’s interesting.  I’ve never heard that was a thing.  Are they calendar birds?   They are still on my list.

      I got some micro plastics for my 2 mm jigs but I am looking for custom color combinations in 1/1.5 inch long plastics. I did get a thing of jigs and tell if you can figure out the team they represent.
