How has the musky fishing been since the die off last year?

Musky fishing on Lake St. Clair is on fire right now at the dumping grounds and the South channel from the fire craker to the St. Clair light run the edge of the channel with bucktails 60 feet back and 2oz of weight.

I heard a charter captian got 3 nice ski's just before and after the big storms that ripped thru the area earll this week. 1st fish was 30lbs 2nd was 33lbs and 3rd was 33 lbs with a 23 inch girth.

There is a musky tourny just about every weekend on the lake, also th e canadian side is going strong with boats avg 7-10 fish per day it only gets better from now to december with the avg per fish per day going to 12-20 per day.

After hearing all the talk about the die off and such, I am suprised at the numbers they are catching.

How was the fishing before the die off?
