Ok, so the guys and I fished Bone and Big Blake in Polk co. Wi. over the weekend. The weather was not our friend… We tossed everything in the boat at them without even as much as a follow or a northern.
Being a fairly new guy to chasing muskies, I’m curious as to what the rest of you use for presentation this time of the year considering the weather pattern we had.

Bone Lake is a great bucktail lake. Everything from the smallest Buchertail to Double #10s (cowgirls and windowmakers) will work on Bone for much of the year. Fish like shallow water on that lake too. However, once the water temps cool down below 60 degrees, I put the bucktails away (for the most part). Big rubber like Bulldawgs are always a great fall bait, but Bone lake has a great jig bite in the fall. Basically upsized bass jigs are what I’m talking about. These jigs should be bounced off the bottom in all depths. They can also be slow rolled or “swim” them super slow.
…As for Blake… shhhh there aren’t any fish in there.
Last fall my buddy and I were fortunate enough to land a monster there, and had quite a few follows, we had most of our luck on shallow invaders, and like crankbaits slow reeling them in or sparadic twitching.
