    Starting suggestions for musky

    in Musky, Tiger Musky & Pike (ESOX)

    Posted

    This sat I finally got on the water musky trolling for the first time. I decided to start by flat lining 2 grandma's back 115 and 125 feet.... at about 3 mph +- a tenth or 2. I worked a area where it dropped off quickly near shore and marked a lot of bait. On the 2nd pass my 10' heavy trolling rod got taken straight back in a way only 20+ lb kings had done in the past. The problem was I couldn't get the damned rod out of the holder! That made for a poor set and end of fight. It sure got the adrenaline goin though. My perch colored grandma has its first teeth marks. Lesson learned...different rod holders needed. Musky 1 me nothin...but I'll be back!

    ..just the stuff I'm lookin for. I fished salmon for a long time and figure my 10 footers with the okumas should be good enough to start. I'll prob respool em though. I've really considered doing a charter in the river this fall to pick the captains brain. Like with my first salmon back in the late 70s..you get one and know you're screwed looking for the next one for a long time. Getting a big lunge will probably do the same thing. Thanks!

    Ive fished 50+ years in NYS but have never targeted musky. I have a place just off the mouth of the slr (cape vincent area...just off mud bay in front of grenadier) where quite a few incidental catches etc of 50+ inch fish ive heard about tells me there are trophy musky to be had. There was a 56" taken through the ice right in front of my place 2 years ago. I lost one that toyed with me while bass fishing. I'm sure my boats and tackle (aside from lures) will cover it. So..I'd like to start chasing em this fall. I'd appreciate some lure suggestions and what type of structure to target, speed etc.. in Sept,Oct Nov. I have a great place..and would be happy to host if someone cares to show me the ropes.

    You don't go up the shoreline to Quinte? I have a place near Cape vincent and know a guy that routinely runs from mud bay in cv...over to quinte..about 35 miles...which indicates how good he thinks it is over there. Last year he usually brought a limit of 10+lb walleye back. That was last year..no word yet this year.

    We never used to start working the eyes down there until late July...and through August. Work the flats out in front of Fort Niagara. The area goes through a long stretch of heavy moss during June and part of July coming out of the lower river which makes fishing a real B until them.
