Fishing Report - August 29th

[Todd Forcier]

Jim Anderson, won a full-day trip with me from an on-line auction that supported Operation Musky 2. We got on the water this past Saturday and spent the day looking for a strike or two. Earlier that morning Jim landed a beautiful northern about 30-inches. Just as the day was about to end Jim yelled...there's one! After a brief battle a beautiful 42 1/2-incher was resting at the bottom of the net.

You see, not only did Jim get rewarded for his support of Operation Musky (wwww.operationmuskie.org) but 20 Veterans got to experience the great musky fishing on Lake of the Woods. ;)

Water temp started in the low 70's and by the time we got off it was in the upper 60's. Strong north, north/west wind. Water level and conditions are good.

Where are some good locations for Musky on the Petenwell?

I am coming up this weekend.

Mike, I’ve been doing all my fishing in the river and north-end of the lake. We’ve been doing really well on the deeper shorelines. With all the wind lately we’ve been pounding the windblown shorelines. Don’t forget the creek inlets. Most of my action has come on twitch baits or topwater. We’ve been twitching/pulling the lures hard then pausing (twitch, twitch, pause). Colors haven’t really mattered, been seeing fish on all colors.

Hope this helpls and good luck.
