Going to fish some new areas on GB for musky and hopefully fish LSC and the Kawarthas a bit more next fall. Spring pike and lake trout always in the mix as well.

Worth trying for muskies there

Ya maybe a 300 Tranx as suggested above for size 5/6 blades? I have a couple of older Tranx 400s that do have some drag slip, which can get annoying/botch hooksets if not constantly adjusted. (Probably less of an issue for smaller bucktails).

I do keep hearing about the lower water levels but personally it looks to me the same as last spring (which was also super low with stuff exposed that isn't usually). (I'm mainly concerned because if it is actually lower than last spring I will have a tough time navigating to some of the places I want to fish on musky opener).

Does Sturgeon Bay prov park have one?

Fished PAB before and seems to have decent numbers of small and slot size walleye. Sturgeon Bay has decent numbers of smaller pike and you might get some better size as you work out the main channel. Will PM you.

Its a big topic. Sharpshooting for muskies using FFS isn't cool and musky anglers should be making it taboo as a community. Good for the Eagle Lake resorts and hopefully more places do the same thing.

Pigeon Lake Resort is a decent spot. I have not found Pigeon bonkers for either numbers or size but you can have a multi-fish day in good fishing conditions and a realistic shot at a 40"+ fish, albeit skinnier than you would find on deeper water.
