Doctrt Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share 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!!

Musky or Specks Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share 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.

Seaweed Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gbfisher Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share 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..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
