Had a long talk with the DNR today on how much the Muskie gain Plus the weight of their eggs and other things. The fellow is one of the people that works the brood stock n Lake Hudson. The Muskie as well as other species that spawn in the Spring start to develope their eggs in the Fall and that is one more of the reasons that they need to add winter fat. They not only have to live off their fat the need it to help develope the eggs for their spawn in May. He told me that most Muskie carry about 10 percent on their body weight in eggs and he said he believes that anothe 10 percnt is needed in winter fat for the fish to survive. So those forty plus pound fish that are being caught now will be in the figty pound range by the end of November when they usually stop feeding every hour or so as they are now. We really have a world class lake. Plus they feel that the Gizzard Shad is the Muskie main diet on Lake St Clair. They should been pushing the Shad out of the deeper water as you are reading this.
