Balsam Lake in October, Popular baits for Musky

Thanks to all for the help, and yes I need all the helpI can get lately I have been off the grid for the past season and more , blown motor , sold boat, and covid pricing etc, but back now at the end of August
I know its late in the season so I just want to try a few things before I get busy again with family stuff
Id like to keep this thread rolling so others like me can learn this lake
As soon as I am able to PM I would like to chat with you all
Thanks again

I thought this fishing forum was to pass on advice to help other people fish. Not to tell someone not to use something that clearly works. I just caught a muskie a couple weeks ago with that lure and posted the picture with the lure still in the mouth of the muskie. I also just said that lure has caught a few dozen muskie. And those muskie were caught in Sept. Oct. and Nov. And 2 or 3 in Aug. Not sure why you like to contradict someone.. Not once but twice. I have been fishing longer than you have been alive. I just like being as helpful and as courteous as I can be. Here is the picture again.

Good luck too bad my friends and I will not be up there for a couple of weeks. Stay safe.

I’m not trying to contradict anyone all I’m saying is I would not specifically target musky with a wiggle wart that’s all.

I sent you a PM.

It's true that bass fishermen caught more muskie than musky fishermen.
However, muskie are caught and released by musky guys more safely, as they have necessary equipment like heavy tackles, big net, etc.

For sure I will use big lures if target the fish.

Thanks KVD see what happens still really warm out

Thanks ML still trying to get there LOL
