Just back from a week of Kawartha Muskie hunting , no giants but fish were biting . Cold fronts made things interesting. Wish I had pics but fishing solo with the wind and waves pics would have stressed em to much.
Sound advice from all the members , Knipex .. get em , along with an assortment of quality replacement hooks . Its 100% better for the fish to just cut hooks rather then keeping them outta the water for prolonged periods . I became obsessed with them 4 years ago lol, even sold my Ranger for a 188 Tiller .
I fish all the spots you’re looking at and I’m usually solo in the late season, welcome to come out .
