Swinging into September!

Well August is now past and it was a great month of fishing action. There were a lot of swinging weather patterns that had brought some tougher fishing days, however we boated fish in all these adverse conditions. We went through some days of 90 degree temps and nice breezes out of the south and then sudden cold fronts with north winds that limited our areas of fishing. During this month we still had a higher than average number of fish boated… around 8 to 10 Muskies per trip! We started the month still fishing the deeper water in the middle of the lake however as the month went on and the weather patterns changed we also had to change our fishing locations as well as our tactics for catching the Muskies. We have been working the south shore of the lake from 12 to 15 feet of water trying to find nice water color and little or no weeds for the best fishing conditions. We boated 3 to 4 fish over the 50 inch and 30 pound mark this past month and want to congratulate all of our new 30 pound club members! Great job catching these monsters and releasing them back so they can get even bigger and be caught another day. The Bass fishing during the past month proved to be some good action with our average catch of 4 to 5 dozen per trip. We also notice a good amount of Perch being caught during these trips which is a good sign that they are starting to school for the fall bite. We will be ending our Bass Trips as well as our Sunset Cruises this month, We will be starting our Perch Charters as well as our Sturgeon Trips. We will still be catching the Muskies and hunting them down during their fall feeding frenzy through October! We are now booking the rest of this season as well as 2014. Give us a call to set up your charters! Tight Lines, Capt. Kevin Backus
