Sketty55 Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) Hey all. I'll be heading out to the Otonabee river this Sunday, targeting musky. I never knew there were even musky in there, but I'll be going out with a few guys who have more experience than I do. Appreciate any general tips for this area, general locations or lures that I should try. Thanks!

KraTToR Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Look for the usual structure - weed lines, especially along drop offs, points, sunken timber, etc. Bright colored bucktails for searching and have a med sized jerkbait on standby. Watch for follows.. the usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawarthaAngler Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 I landed a small muskie on the Otonabee river along a weed line throwing top water just before sunset in mid August. It was one of the many areas where there is a shallow, lillypad loaded bay. I simply stayed along the outside edge and was throwing weedless jig hunting for bass. This one evening there were a few splashes in the lilypads and I said to my co-angler "I think muskie have come into the shallows to feed, I'm going to throw a top water along the edge" ... 2nd cast and BAM. Landed a small muskie. I haven't been back on the Ontonabee since ... but that was my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
