Fishing with the Guides By George Langley

Muskie anglers waiting for one more warm up

The cold weather makes it feel more like Novem- ber. We could use a break with some temperatures in the 40s. Water temperatures in area lakes have dropped into the 40s and even the low 40s on the shallower lakes. This is very early for this. There is some ice forming in bays on smaller lakes. Muskie action has been pretty slow for this water temperature, but they have started to move some. The Chain has a lot of active fish hitting jerk bait and live suckers. Slow your retrieves down with these temps. Jerk baits, twitch baits and some plastics have pro- duced nicely on the Chain right at the deeper weed edges. We get a feeling that if it just warms a little the fishing will be great for the rest of the open-water pe- riod. On the larger waters, the fish are starting to move a little, but it hasn’t been as good as it should. Remember that the cisco spawning period is in front of us and presents a great trophy period for the late anglers.

Pro sports teams join stop COVID coalition

All three of Wisconsin’s major professional sports teams are getting involved in a new coalition effort to help stop the spread of COVID-19. The “Stop the COVID Spread!” coalition released its second public education announcement on broad- cast TV and digital platforms statewide, featuring three players from the Green Bay Packers. The Mil- waukee Brewers and Milwaukee Bucks are also joining the “Stop the COVID Spread!” coalition as it expands its efforts. The latest ad features Packers players Adrian Amos, Kenny Clark and Marquez Valdes-Scantling encouraging Wisconsin residents to do their part in the team effort to help slow the spread of COVID- 19. “When it comes to COVID-19, Wisconsin has been playing a lot of defense lately,” says Amos.
