    So I moved not to long ago from central mn to sw mn and I been getting my butt kicked on the musky fishing down here. Any helpful advice for okaboji or big spirit would be greatly appreciated. The only muskies I’ve caught have been on fox lake in sherburn, MN. I’ve fished the weed lines on big spirit on the north shore to the humps and weed beds on the west side and I don’t even see any big mamas. Very frustrating

    Is there anywhere in NW Iowa where they sell big suckers?

    Thanks for the help in advance!

    go to Clear Lake Ia
    Stop in at Clear Lake Bait & Tackle to get the latest info.
    Clear Lake is loaded with Muskies
    Start at the “grade” which is the most Western part of the little lake and move out from there.
    FYI
    I’m talking Muskies, not big suckers although the bait shop probably has those too

    There are MANY large Muskie in Spirit. Go back and look again. There are even more in West Okoboji. No kidding.
    But due to the tremendous boating pressure of those lakes Muskie fishing is relegated to the hours of moon-rise and moon-set. Check it out.
    The big mommas are keenly aware of moon phase.
    Boat traffic intensifies around 10:00 am and continues until they run out of beer.
    Was on Spirit 2 weeks ago drifting a point chatting with a buddy drifting his boat along with mine. We were maybe 70′ from a line of buoys. We looked up and saw a pleasure boater pulling his 7 year old daughter on a kneeboard right between us and the buoys. Un-f-ing believable. I shouted to the guy “You must not like your daughter” as he blew by us.
    Daytime is not fit for fish nor fishermen until school starts again.

    Yeah that’s the facts about okaboji it’s a party lake period lots of good opportunities just the traffic is crippling. I been giving big spirit a lot of tries just keep coming up empty handed thanks for the advice!
