Forum: Muskie and Pike

I'm headed out there this coming week a couple times and wondering what might be new on reports. I'll gladly post my reports next week. I was out there a month ago and just smoked the bass and pike on the deep weedline in one specific area. Guess where I am going to try this week??? Yep that...

HT and me (possibly Ebass too) will be hittin' the 'sippi tomorrow. It's going to be awesome out: 80, sunny, light breeze, 20+incher on the end of my line :p LOL. Should be another great day on the water with my good buddy HT! We're hoping the recent rain has got them feeding!

Grand Rapids Winnie fishing report 7-25-05 The fish have really moved to the mid summer pattern now. We have been getting fish on deep-water structure and weeds. Lindy rig is the best choice right now, with leeches or crawlers. Winnie has been producing on the humps on the north and the center...

The past few days has been incredible for pike, trolling spoons in about 4-6 feet of water is the most consistant. But dont be afraid to stop and cast a bucktail for a while. Gold or chartruese are my colors of choice. As of crappies they are hard to come by, But if you fool around the cribs and...

I was just wondering if anyone else is going to be participating in the Muskie Derby up on Leech this weekend? My uncle and dad and I are going to be in it. I'm not sure of all the details. I know that it starts on Sat. and goes through, I believe Wed. Maybe someone else knows all the details...

Has anyone used a underwater camera on Rainy or dark stained water like that? I would like to check out some of the spots that have taken tackle from me over the years and see what it looks like. What is the best light to use in the dark stained water?

Here is a picture of the picture that hangs on my fridge of my uncle's 57" ski. Let's get some other photos going here guys. Show your stuff.

Supposedly the muskies are starting to finally hit a little bit for the musky nuts. That's the rumor around Milaca anyways....

It's been pretty quiet around here. Has anyone been getting out in this heat? Just wondering what has been working, or more importantly, what hasn't been working? Thanks, Paul

I just got back from Gander Mountain. I took my 4 year old son with me to spend some quality time together. ;) I told him that I would buy him a little lure for his tackle box. His eyes lit up. We were in the store for about 45 min. and he had picked out a couple of panfish jigs that were ok. ...

Anybody crack the 50" mark - what's the story? here is mine: Only once - 50.34" - Lac Suel, topper stopper (black/orange), shallow grass saddle between islands (all area up there looks fantastic buy the way), she ate it like she had been eating baby ducks for years...just sucked it off the...

I was out tonight fishing for bass and got a nice bonus pike it was a 35" that hammered a jig/pig. It is my biggest "cheesehead" pike since I have moved to WI.

With the water warming up everywhere so has the fishing. Clearwater is producing bass and northern on deep weed lines. Sucker minnows catching a lot of the pike. Try 10-15' of water. Walleyes can be found on the drop offs to deep water in the evening. Slip bobbers and leech and 15'-18' of water....

What lure did your first musky of the year come on?

I was wondering what all you muskie guys will be trying for new baits this year? I think I am going to get one of the new hard baits from Musky Inovations. They look really good.

Me and my brother inlaws headed out to a local lake for some Walleye fishing on Sunday, after about a 1/2 hour of dragging Lindy rigs around for walleyes we anchored off a point to stay out of the wind, I was still dragging my lindy rig just tossing it to the wind blown point and slowly retrieving...

Have any of you ever had any success with the tiger tubes? I got a couple of packages from Gander Mountain when they were having their moving sail in Duluth for like $3.00 a package. I've never used them for musky and was wondering if I wasted my money.

Steel? Titanium? Flourocarbon? Has anyone ever tried that 49 strand knotable wire? How does it work? I'm seriously thinking of trying some. At the sportshow I saw the booth demoing it and it looked pretty nice. Any Comments? So far I am a still a beginner at musky fishing but I hope the...
