Default Re: Ice Muskie

They are sluggish in cold water. Pike are the most active, pure strains are the least active, tigers in the middle. I had 50lb power pro and a 60lb floro leader so when I felt it was small I just cranked the drag down and horsed it in. Had it on the ice in maybe 30 seconds. No need to play and tire out a fish that size, the quicker you land them and get them back down the hole the better.
