Round Island Advice For September

[Big fat pike]

So every September me and a group of friends stay up at Round Island for a couple nights and this year I intend on bringing a buddy who while knowing how to troll hasn't fished the 1000 islands and would like to get some info for getting pike, muskies and some walleyes in that area.

Walleye have been caught between the mainland and round by trolling in low light. Fog, early and late day. I’ve never done it at night jr thundersticks trolling in the middle.

Thank you I managed to get a 28" with a nightcrawler on an improvised Carolina rig with a nightcrawler at the 20-80 ft drop off ( not 100% sure of the exact depths as i don't have a map)but had no idea what to do targeting  them 

what about muskies 

i could easily see trolling walleye sized Crankbaits to be productive for pike but would want to know what to do for sure because fish are regional

I’ve seen muskies caught trolling for bass north of the alex bridge in the summer is all I know.

I remember when I was younger once I got to go to Chippewa Bay (Had family that lived closer to the bridge) and it was July but I know the fish were spawning later and I briefly saw 2 muskies spawning

 

Catching a 1 in a trillion wild tiger muskie would be awesome as well. (I have caught 2 stockers)
