The musky fishing is awesome here. Go for musky in 6 feet of water over weeds at night. I have caught three in only two hours around eleven o clock.

star lake is full of very big fish. Fishing for musky at night is surprisingly good. If you are after walleyes go to large rock bottom flats. If you are with kids i would recommend going to the far north shore and fish near the trees. This holds a large number of rockbass and bluegill.

my grandma has a cabin on the north side. It is a very clear lake with great musky, pike and walleye fishing. A green and chartreuse frenzy will be explosive for walleyes in the summer

You have to be patient to find success here, as with many deep clear lakes. For esox, don't bother fishing opener here-water stays too cold much longer than darker lakes. Cisco base provides big fish potential. Hi Tony Rizzo!
