Musky Help!!!

[FASTEDDIE29]

Thanx fellas. That Greenwood lake dude is a character. Ive watched a few of his videos, he catches some serious MUSKY. I have quite a few Musky lures as it is, maybe its time to add to the arsenal. I havn't been up to Greenwood in 5 years, ill have to give it a shot this fall. TIGHT LINES!

A couple of guys I know use those rubber type segmented troll / cast look alike bait lures!
They mimic bluegills, perch etc life size! However looks like trolling gets the job done in late season , hard blow days gotta be best!!

get a few big plugs like gibbs or dannys and troll real slow over weed beds and around points.you want that plug just under the water so it makes a wake.troll them back away from the boat.i like dark colors dark days light color light days.a nice slow wobble drives them nuts

Unless you're a troller, which I am not, a big jerkbait is tough to beat in the fall. Mag and SuperMag Bulldawgs are classic fish-catchers, just make sure you have the gear for tossing HEAVY lures. I personally prefer gliders with soft-tails that produce a sub-surface "walk the dog." That's what these guys ate in water temperatures below 40 degrees.

Try mountain lake in liberty, my son and his friend got 7 hits and landed 5 last week on size 5 mepps along the weed lines. The fish were between 8 and 13 lbs.

Are you referring to Mountain Lake just north of route 46 off of 618? Isn't that private?

Eddie for me it's been all about the bucktail [IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]

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.
