Doctrt Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Anyone getting out on G-Bay for some real muskie fishing this Saturday?? I personally can't wait!! Thought this might be a good forum to discuss different strategies that might be used in the colder water of the north. Any thoughts?? Here's a big girl from a few years back Good Luck to all!! T
Musky or Specks Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Nice Fish. I leave Friday Morning cant wait!!!!!!! I'll use strategy I always use. Do my milk run once with bulging bucktail. Second time with topwater. Third time with Sledge. See if anything shows itself and comeback to those spots more frequently and cautiously.

A milk-run is a set of likely spots with great potential that have given up fish in the past. Have 5 or more of these spots within running distance, then hit each in succession with different presentations each time, and you have yourself a milk-run.
Musky or Specks Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 What he said. only about 8 spots for me.
Guest Johnny Bass Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Very Impressive Musky! Good luck on the opener!
TroutnMuskieHunter Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 I can't sleep, I'm so pumped for the Muskie opener this Friday on the Ottawa .....it seems as though it's taking forever for the day to get here!!!
Reef Runner Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Very nice fish. I can't wait to get up there.
Seaweed Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 The Ottawa River opens for Muskie this weekend also. Up here we fast troll spinner baits on the flats until the weeds make that impossible. I will be burning up a few gallons using this technique this weekend. Best of luck to everyone .... hang on tight to those rods.
Raf Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 yeah, it's going to be one long week. not sure i'll be able to sleep friday might have to start at midnite.

TroutnMuskieHunter Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 (edited) I'm on the stretch of river after the Fitzroy Harbour dam.... Here's the last Muskie I landed last fall...I'm hoping to catch one a tad bigger so I can change my avatar!! I CAN HARDLY WAIT....3 MORE SLEEPS!!! Edited June 18, 2008 by TroutnMuskieHunter
1leggedangler Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 Thanks Doc! Thought she was a 50' but 54" is a monster fish. BEAUT!!!
darsky Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 ......she is a beast alright-but 29" girth ???? Naaaaaah
Guest gbfisher Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 ......she is a beast alright-but 29" girth ???? Naaaaaah Sounds like the way the post went when it was posted.... I fish GB but wouldnt go as far as saying it's the "REAL Musky" opener.... ............Good luck regardless. I think I'll wait for a few weeks before targeting them. The Dinner fishing is still HOT!(Pickerel that is) Im sure the big gilrs would look better with food in their gut as well.....
