Gregoire Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 Good to hear that you are not fishing clear water. It sounds like all you will have to do is work on your figure 8. The better you get at it, the more fish you will land.
Fisherpete Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 Go out with Darcy Cox. You will learn a ton.

Fisherpete Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 Here's his Facebook page, Andrew (Lunkerhunter) can send you his contact info. We went out with him the past two summers - you won't be disppointed!
Handlebarz Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 If you want a good guide I recommend my friend Keith check out this weeks musky hunter TV show he is on it on lotw. Be sure and tell him I sent you it will be a good educational time on the water. http://www.keithtrophyfishn.com/
manitoubass2 Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Posted February 27, 2015 Frig thanks guys! Lets keep this thread going, for educational purposes. When i searched the site i found alot of conflicting info. So far this one is gold?
Roy Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 I have an idea. Give Marc Thorpe a call. He'll give you the best advice you need for the biggest fish on the Larry or the Ottawa.
Pigeontroller Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 I can't believe its not been mentioned yet, most important gear to have for Muskie...Proper release tools. #1 a good Muskie specific net, Frabill Big Game, or Big Kahuna(deep boats). Long nose pliers, and most importantly HOOK CUTTERS. Knipex brand mini bolt cutters are worth the extra $$, CT mini 8'' bolt cutters are better than nothing...
grizzlybri Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 Frig thanks guys! Lets keep this thread going, for educational purposes. When i searched the site i found alot of conflicting info. So far this one is gold I agree, all of this musky talk on the board lately be it this thread or the rod/reel set up thread it will make this year easier to get into musky fishing as this is going to be my first year aggressively chasing them.

Stow master or frabill power stow also very good net options if you don't have much room to store in the boat. Recall a store in international falls used to carry them last time I was up there.

Andy Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 Today's Musky Hunter episode was on LOTW with Bill Sandy. It was worth watching, especially if you are going to be fishing there. Double 10s are obviously a go to lure. Saric says he favours a selection of double 10s, a couple shallow invaders, a black bulldawg, a jerkbait ( he pushes Phantoms) and a shallow raider crankbait.
