Minocqua area fishing report 10.26.10 The headline of the week continues to be the lack of availability of musky suckers. High water continues to keep supplies very low. Low pressure system with rain improving musky and walleye situation.
Musky: Good-improving. Best action occurring from 10am-3pm. Having suckers (if you can find them) helps, but if you can't, artificials are still moving fish. Twitch baits (Cranes, Big Game, Grandmas) gliders (Mantas, Warlocks, Smitys) and jerks (Suick, Bobbie) as well as soft plastics (Medussa, Big D's) all accounted for fish this past week. Reports include fish to 51", with most being in mid 30" to low 40" range being caught alowng existing green weed edges hanging out in 10-14' depths.
Walleye: Fair-Good. Mostly deep water. Vertical fishing 1/8 to 1/4oz jigs in 20-40' depths. Drifting lindy rigs with chubs accounting for larger fish and some big smallmouth bass.
Water temps vary from lows of 45-highs of 52 (larger lakes). No drastic cold to drop further in forecast (guess). No reports on other species - not enough info.
