I fished there pretty much every day of October. Started out with small lures and caught quite a few stripers and a few good sized largemouth. Tried for muskie but no luck. But I saw quite a few jump. Caught a nice sized walleye with a small minnow. Overall it wasn't too bad.

Fished from 10-27-08 to 11-6-08. Fishing was poor. Some muskies caught early morning on zara spooks, other crank baits, live bait at mouth of harbor. Other species poor. Fished north and south lakes from boat. Tried live minnows, trolling, drifting, artificials. Found dead muskie about 36 inches at boat launch. Fished deep and shallow water structure. Marked fish off points and saddlebacks but got very few hits.

I fish there once in a while with little luck but on Sunday Aug 16 me and my daughter caught 2 bluegill and a large mouth bass. All on worms, between 8 to 10 a.m. We were on the boat launch pier.
