great report, on a great lake. nice to see a report on webster. i make about 6 trips out there a year. i always go on weekdays, was the parking lot full when you were taking your boat out? when i launched there for the first time i thought the backwaters were the the main lake!!! i was all the way in the back corner tryin to navigate thru all that muck!! this lake is gonna turn out to be indiana's version of shabbona. have you ever been to james lake fishin for musky?
Lake Webster 4-14-02
2 Went and fished Lake Webster today and my boat partner caught a 32 inch Muskie on a red bucktail over 20 FOW at 8:45 A.M.Water temp in main lake started out at 56 degs. and ended at 58 degs about 2:30 when we had to go. The shallow bay where you first launch the boat can be fished now because of minimal weed growth and one of the guys at the ramp said, "he had caught 3 Muskies, including a 42 incher there about 1:00 P.M." That area of the lake and the channel out to the main lake were at 60 degs by 2:30.
If I were going tomorrow I would spend more time in the shallow water by the boat ramp and the channel to the main lake, that area seems to be holding more active fish than the main lake because after the catch in the morning we never saw another fish in the main lake but one of my friends in another boat had a hit on a jackpot out in the main lake.
It was 55 degs and mostly cloudy the first couple of hours and then cleared up to partly cloudy with air temps of 70 degs.
What a fun day.
Jim
