  1. Beautiful Northern.  Don't be disccouraged....It has been a tough muskie fishing economy on the river the last few years. To Old Man's point, 40 hours per fish right now is not at all uncommon.  Sometimes more.  It keeps you coming back though......Nothing like the sound of the clacker shredding line.  Good luck! 

  2. I trolled for musky yesterday for my first time ever yesterday , with some friends that are musky fanatics.We trolled for many hours around the grindstone and in canadian water too.No hits...but did learn a lot, and had a great day bs' n andchanging lures and cleaning lines of grass and weeds etc..Saw some Big marksand tons of loons.I was really pumped and the anticipation of hooking one made the time fly by.Plus the fact that they landed a beautifully marked 36" fish the day before (monday) on a "believer" lure.I looked at that picture probably 10 times yesterday.Oh well, I guess I got to put my time in and pay my dues before I catch my first musky.I am going to try again next mon or tuesday...good luck to you all.

    Muskie hunting is an absolutely addicting sport. Be patient. In this muskie fishing economy, the top 3% of anglers are averaging a fish every 35-40 hrs. This is frustrating considering 10 years ago the average was a fish every 12-15hrs. The dynamics are changing a bit but thats what makes muskie hunting fun. Also, this years DEC sampling indicates improved population densities which should improve fishing in coming years. Keep at it and good luck!!!!
