Fishing for Musky

If you love to fish and you love to catch something that is going to put up a fight, then fish for musky! They are an aggressive fish, which makes it a real sport to catch.

You can usually find musky in marshes and weedy banks, in the early spring . In the spring, this is usually where they spawn. In mid summer, to early fall, you can find them in beds of lilly pads and other floating leaf vegetation that keeps the water cooler. In the winter time, they stay in deep holes surrouded by shallow water.

Musky eat a wide variety of foods. They can strike on most any kind of bait. Size and action of the bait matter more than the color of the bait you choose. The pros use big baits to catch big bish. They even use lures up to a foot in length. You need heavy tackle for lures this size.

Musky can chase the bait even as far as to the edge of your boat , then suddenly turn away. They are an un predictable fish. I have heard that you can still catch these large musky if you let them get close to the boat and dip the end of your rod into the water as far as you can and make large figure eight patterns. It aggitates them enough to strike.

Always use a steel leader when fishing for musky because they have very sharp teeth and will cut through a standard line.

When musky are in a weedy bed, spinner bait is hard to beat. You can catch more musky in weedy beds this way.

You can use minnow baits on the surface because they also like to bite at live bait.
When Musky are being stubborn and picky, nothing beats a live bait!
