The combination of new moon and Eclipse turned the muskies on this week. Mike Sperry with Chautauqua Reel Outdoors reported some good musky fishing in the morning on Monday, taking three fish. The largest was taken on a Leo jerk bait in 14 feet of water off the weed line – a fish that stretched 48 inches. One friend caught two muskies in the morning, another had three. Walleye action continues to be consistent around the lake, but especially up north in the deeper water (25-30 foot depths). Downriggers and lead core line are both working. Hot-N-Tots, Shad Raps and Flicker Shad baits are all working. Worm harnesses will also work, but it’s tough to keep the perch off the line – they are everywhere.
