St. Louis River Estuary system

The St. Louis River Estuary system had a very slow bite last week. And after the last big storm, I don't think things are going to get much better for some time. Best angling chances are going to revolve around the muskie community.
Inland waters will still hold good opportunities as we climb further toward winter ice-up. Water temperatures have taken a big drop with many waters now seeing the 40s. Walleyes and crappies are still being located on mid lake reefs and near steep drop-offs. Although it is easy to graph them on our electronics, it has been hard to get them to bite.
Time of day should not be a big deal considering the falling temperatures. Best bet is to continue to utilize live bait. Don't be afraid to dig into the rattling spoons and other vertical ice jigging techniques.
