Muskellunge question! - daniel_yusupov - 12-16-2008
Hey guys. The reservoir I frequently visit, is infested with muskie and pickerel. People catch Muskies on a regular basis and I have seen many over 40 inches caught. I have
been fishing this place for 6 years and never caught a Muskie. I must have caught 3 tons of Pickerel in those 6 years, but no luck with the bigger cousins.
Any suggestions? I tried larger shiners, cut sucker, jigging with spoons, jigging with big shiners, but no luck, only pickerel. One day the only other dude on the lake caught 2 muskies on tip ups. What am I doing wrong that I can't seem to get a break?

try a big brown over gold jigging rapala. dont tip it. use an agressive jigging motion. when a fish comes in stop jigging and hold a few seconds. then jigle. if he backs away go back to jigging and bring him back. if he dont hit real up 1 ft and repete. visit the pike musky walleye board. ken
