I need help fellas .... putting my meanest 12" baits on ... bangin bottom in 20-30 feet of water near serious drop offs ... and all I can seem to muster up is the odd fat-arss Pike (don't get me wrong these are beauties - but I am chasing MONSTRONIUS MAXIMUS OLDFARTUS .... PM me to stay on the right side of the 'Law' ... ps ... sorry Roy, I assume I can name the Lake since there is actually over 300 miles of shoreline Be nice and I'll share some Pike porn with ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregoire Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I would think that if the big pike are deep then the musky are shallower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camillj Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 SO ... Let me get this right Wayne ... are you saying I need to go to my 20lb balls ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camillj Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I would think that if the big pike are deep then the musky are shallower. Never really thought of it that way ... I was actually thinking I should try just about 10' below the "top" school of Lakers ... only problem is those hungry morons will just about anything now that the season is closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handlebarz Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Never fished it but know if you are looking at lakers suspended then there must be bait fish above them if so I would be running my baits right through the bait fish or above it. I would guess you are to deep with your lures. Target them suspended fish its hard to stuck to but awesome when you figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camillj Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Thanks Mike ... gonna speed-er-up and raise up to 15' ... most of the flat I been nailing the big Pike on are actually ranging between 16 - 30 feet (along the ridges) with drop-offs to 60-80' right next door (was actually thinking I might try a little deeper next)... spent alot of hours dragging hardware in the 10 - 20' range with nothing sighted/marked or hit. Water temps were 58 - 60 on the surface last weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 SO ... Let me get this right Wayne ... are you saying I need to go to my 20lb balls ? Why you running riggers?? That's still some warm water for fall... 5.5mph or so.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camillj Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Yessiree Wayne ... I got nowhere to mount my Salty's (the boats only got gimble mounts ... so I run the rigger to keep the line in the water when I am dragging them great big spoons (even if the ball is just a few feet under the surface) ... also kinda like the 'instant' hookset of a fully loaded rod when it releases ... gives me time to light a fresh smoke ... Gonna try dragging one a them thar BIG LIPPED - poo-kinese-or-is-it-a-duckling sticks I got from ya last year ... (you know - the ones that can actually re-dredge the channel for them eco-friendly cottagers ... so I wont even need to put it on the riggers - but I may need to put the safety harness on the rod But up till couple weeks ago it was a tossup between gargantuos-lakerous-hungry-freakus and biggus-esox-holy-motherofgoddess and I wasnt too fussy either way on the biggest Williams ever made Anyhow if ya need a little break I'd be happy to pick ya up in Port Carling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
