Michigan Muskie Alliance

Water was down! But got blawn off the lake about 10:45 am. Fish were biting but no hook ups.

Thanks for the info! Thats a bummer that there's been no documented reproduction so far. I will definitely not be keeping any fish from the lake, that's for sure. After seeing the carelessness of one certain spearing angler this past winter I figured me taking one fish out wouldn't hurt the system ...

Hey guys, I'm new here and new to muskie fishing. I live a stones throw from Austin and just this past winter realized there were big muskies swimmin around.
