Anybody been at Muskrat???
I was just wondering if anyone has been to Muskrat Lake in the last week or so. Due to work commitments I haven't been fishing in a month but it looks like I might actually get a chance on Monday. I was just wondering what the water temp. might be and how the fishing has been. I was also wondering if the water was down which could make for some tough launching at the town launch. I'm primarily looking for smallies but the guy I'm going with would like a snack of Pike so we're going to try to pick a few of those up too.

Hey Tubeman,
Last time I was out it was pretty slow. I see it seems to be picking up so I'm heading out again this weekend. I see you would like to go Saturday but if you want I'll be heading out Sunday for a few hours. If you can make it then it would save you towing your boat up, all it would cost you is some drop shot minnows

Mike,too bad you missed it today. It was cold, windy and the smallies were hammering. I was out for 4 and a half hours and caught 18 smallies,3 rock bass and a 6 lb Laker.Biggest smallie was a 4-7 but most were 3lbs or better and they were still in the 20-25 fow range. They don't seem to have gone real deep yet.. I caught them on tubes and a jigging spoon, they wouldn't hit a drop shot. I have never caught a fish on a jigging spoon before today but now I'm hooked. They just smash it and fight like there is no tomorrow. The laker hit the spoon too and I thought I had huge smallie. I just unpacked the boat for the year but at least I ended it on a high note, I can't wait for next year.
