Never fished for them before, not sure what they like, especially in the ice.....

if anyone if looking to get rid of a bait caster and a spinner I will be looking in about 2 months for 2 complete fit ups.

You should be good to go

Good luck

a big chunk of worms in the bottom should get you some sturgeon!!!

other than that dead minnows would be good too!!

and if you do get one dont forget to post it i just love those prehistorique things!!

good luck

ya really hoping I get the big one!!!
I will try both methods you suggested, thanks

I was there today... Arrived at about 7am and left at 2pm

Got two pike (kept one) about 3 to 4 pounds each.

we then went over to the pan fish area and drilled two holes between the two of us... in one hour we must have pulled in 60 perch

Suddenly my hole started to slow down while my fishin biddies hole was still going strong. Then my hole stoped and his slowed dramatically. Holes were only 10 feet apart!


anyway.. the locals there claim that it has been a very dissapionting winter for Lakers and for smelts.

How about this for lakers.

I'd like to fish it sometime, but wouldnt know where to start. If you dont want to share, PM me if you're willing to help out.

I see shacks in at the end of the lake near town. Is that the "panfish" area you're talking about?

1/2 way down the lake off the boat launch.

Were the Perch chalk full of those parasitic worms?...just curious

I was out there Monday to Wednesday and got nothing, one or two bites, which is atypical of Muskrat. I tried a few different spots, Hydro bay, off of cedar point but now my huts out by the boat launch so that's where I'll be.

3 weeks ago we caught a bunch of good sized perch and 2 of them had yellow grubs in them, luckily not as much as in the summer so I just ate them in the dark

Thanks ottis

anyone know current ice conditions on muskrat lake?

I thought it was illegal to target sturgeon in Ontario?
Get ya can't help incidental catches---maybe I'm wrong?

If you check the reg's for zone 15 it says sturgeon are closed all year.
