Steve Heiting and his friends enjoyed a great Wisconsin northwoods musky opener with four fish in the boat. Steve discusses the distinct patterns they found and what else seems to really matter to the muskies so far in the 2024 season.

Steve fished for muskies this week in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and caught two fish. In this week's report, he explains the patterns that caught or moved the Yooper muskies, and discusses conditions people will find on northwoods lakes this weekend.

With the northwoods musky opener a little more than a week away, Steve discusses the lures in his Opening Day lineup, his favorite colors, and explains why he picks them. He also covers current conditions on northwoods waters and predicts a great weekend of crappie fishing.

In his final Northwoods Musky Report for the year, Steve discusses that catching a musky right now involves simply choosing a favorite bait and covering water. Muskies are still shallow as water temps have stagnated, and it's really too early to use quick-set-rigged suckers until things cool down.

It's the start of fall, and as our northwoods lakes change with the season the practice of "lake hopping" becomes more important.
