St Lawrence Muskie

[longtimefisherman]

Hey all! I just got to wondering about ..what .. how many represents a good season fishing Muskie on the St Lawrence ? For the average angler like me .. 1 would be great. My question here is for the hard core guys that know what they’re doin . I recently talked with a guy that fishes em hard on the upper Niagara. He said he and his main fishin buddy hit 40 one year recently up there. I know a relatively young guy that got about a dozen a couple years ago mainly fishing the Massena area. Other than those just the odd one here and there.

Not easy there. When I was healthier I would go for a week in the summer and another in the fall. I would be happy to get one per trip. Lots of northerns keep it interesting.

Buffalo harbor when the water in the harbor is warmer than Lake Erie is fantastic, usually November. I used to average one or two per trip trolling Bucher Depth Raiders at five miles per hour.
