musky_man Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Hey Lew, Looks like a heck of a trip - despite being retired, I've only managed a few hours musky fishing and one fish ... had some nice follows, but no other takers. Take care, mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyb Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I just re-read your technical info again, Lew....actually re-re-re-read it ...good stuff to keep in mind. One question -- do you pay attention to water temperature? If so, have you found more active fish in a certain temperature range? The reason I thought of it was that you were in 7-8FOW....I would've thought that would be pretty warm for big fish like that....so I thought I'd ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted August 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Hey Phil, your gonna spoil my image posting those kinda pictures I just re-read your technical info again, Lew....actually re-re-re-read it ...good stuff to keep in mind. One question -- do you pay attention to water temperature? If so, have you found more active fish in a certain temperature range? The reason I thought of it was that you were in 7-8FOW....I would've thought that would be pretty warm for big fish like that....so I thought I'd ask johnny, if the water temps are up in the 80 degree or above range I'll use cranks and try and focus on deeper fish where the water is cooler. Where I was fishing up north last week the water was in the 77-78 degree range for the 1st couple days, then the nights began to get quite cool and the surface temps dropped to the low to mid 70's, infact on 2 mornings the water was 69 when we headed out. 7-9 FOW is pretty consistant in that area and so the temps also average about the same overall.
