SuperDave Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Hey everyone, Planning on going to Belle River for what will probably be my last muskie outing of the season. Any feedback out there as to whats going on ? Ice/water temps/ fish/no fish/don't bother/go to Detroit river/marina frozen solid etc Thanks, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostAnotherOne Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Good luck. I'm hopefully heading to Upper Niagara for one last battle. Those muskies now are all probably nice and fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeontroller Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Good luck. I'm hopefully heading to Upper Niagara for one last battle. Those muskies now are all probably nice and fat. These strong SW winds will likely have turned the Niagara to mud for awhile... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aznphil Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 i'm almost literally in the same boat...one last go windsor or niagara? I hear there is ice at some of the launches in Windsor but hard to say after the weather this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Good luck. I'd like to know how you make out. I live at the top of the Thames river watershed and the ditches here are full with water laying everywhere. We've had so much rain. It will sooner or later end up dumping into Lake St. Clair at Lighthouse Cove, so that part of the lake may be the color of dark chocolate milk for days, not to mention all the trash being swept along. The Belle may be better as it is a much smaller river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handlebarz Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 The Thames river was up 2-3' today flowing fast with lots of trees and all other garbage in Chatham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDave Posted November 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Well we went to Belle River and the tell tale sign of fish not biting was present. Not a single shore caster and only one other boat. We gave it for 5.5 hrs and called it quits. A few shore casters showed up in the afternoon but nothing caught.

Rizzo Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 man that is rough. I did the same thing last year around this time. It involved breaking ice at the marina and avoiding ice flows out in the lake. Brutal brutal day. we drove 6 hours round trip and probably only fished 3! Caught zip and not even a rip. This year I saved myself the aggravation and put the boat to bed last week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 I don't usually troll I cast or jig. Either method can be slowed right down though. If your looking for LSC muskies I'd take outlaws advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
