Thanx fellas. If I dont get my KEEPER MUSKY this year, I might flip out. I took a little inventory of my lures today. I have a couple very large Creek Chubb lures, A couple Believer lures, assorted large Super Shad Raps, a couple Bulldawgs in various colors and of course I have a bunch of 9-10 inch Bombers, Rapalas etc. Im gonna spend another 150-200 bucks on lures like right now just to make sure I have everything I think I may need. Any other info is greatly appreciated. Thanks again fellas.

Nice fish Gatto. What are they 42-43"? Bucktails are great in the summer, but when water temperatures start dropping, I'd stick with a slower moving bait with a big profile. I'd also encourage anyone who wants to learn more about muskies and conserving the fishery to come to the Muskies Inc. 22 meetings the last Tuesday of every month at the Arrowhead Lake Lodge in Denville. Information can be found on mi22.com or by PM'ing me. It's a really great group of brand new and seasoned musky anglers and can seriously cut down the learning curve to consistently catch these elusive fish.

AWESOME fish Gatto and Mr. ONTHELAKE. Mark good to see you on here again. Thank you. Ill be starting my quest once this disgusting summer weather is out of here. Probably be out on Hopac most of the time and Greenwood once in a while. I have the kayak too for the other lakes but I dont think catching a big Musky in the yak would go to well. Also have a canoe now as well. Anybody wants to fish for Musky with me, PM me. Lets get at em!!!

First fish was 40 even second one was longer then the tape measure we had that day which was 44 inches. I'd say 47-48

You can launch at mountain lake by the casino or on the opposite side of the lake by the restaurant that is closed. shotre access is limited.

Thanks Birddog. Ive ice fished ML a bunch of times in the past, the casino is usually where we walk on the ice. I fish with Craig a few times, he lives right there on the lake. Hes caught quite a few Skis threw the ice there. I havn't seen him in a while, lack of ice last year. Also a dude I believe his name is Jim, always decked out in camo gear and brings his dog with him. You gotta know these 2 ice anglers. They fish Budd lake and ML all the time.
