Posts: 4269 Location: Ashland WI | Zib - 5/2/2017 8:40 PM Normally I'd say don't waste your money on a guide but with all the dead musky that are being found in the marinas, boat ramps & floating down the Detroit River you may need to go with a guide at least for a day. The DNR has confirmed that VHS was the cause of many if the dead gizzard shad, bluegill, & crappie found in the past month or so. No word on if it has affected the musky like it did back in 2006. I've only been out on the DR twice this year & at both ramps I launched at I seen 3 dead musky at one ramp & 5 at another plus seen several floating. Several guys on FB have been posting pics of a lot of dead musky at marina's & boat ramps. Sounds like it's not even worth fishing anymore....??  Edited by 14ledo81 5/2/2017 9:12 PM | ||

Posts: 1405 Location: Detroit River | 25homes - 5/3/2017 2:49 PM Man I dont know how you dudes dont go crazy waiting for the June opener...Ive been fishing all winter and missed few weeks due to weather but waiting til june Id be flipping out...what date does your season close?? Hows that work on LSC with the Canada side do they have same season dates?? The season is the same for both Michigan & Ontario on the St. Clair River, Lake St. Clair, & Detroit River. The season opens on the first Saturday in June & closes on Dec. 15th. I fish for walleye on the DR & Bass (C&R) on LSC & other lakes before the musky season opens. In-land lakes the season opens the last Saturday in April. I usually catch a musky or 3 while fishing for other species, especially while going after bass. I was out bass fishing this past Friday & got skunked on bass but caught a musky. Last year I caught more musky while targeting bass than I did targeting musky (6 in one day plus another 6 bite-offs). Hell last year I caught more walleye while bass fishing than I did when I was targeting walleye in the river. I'm sure there's plenty of walleye & bass guys that catch more musky than most musky guys do. If you don't know where to find the musky on LSC just follow the walleye & perch guys.

Posts: 1405 Location: Detroit River | mastical - 5/3/2017 3:09 PM Season opens first Saturday in June and is closes December 15th. Opens and closes at the same times for both sides. I have a count down on my phone, i prep almost weekly for it. I have a map in my office i just gaze at from time to time. I come up with plans, baits i want to buy. its like a mild obsession until it arrives, once its open i think we all calm down. Every year I always say I'm going to get ready for musky season & as usual I procrastinate & do it the night before. Not much to do really other than have my box of Bondy Baits ready & my musky jigging rod & reel ready to go & the trolling motor battery charged. I suppose I could sharpen all my hooks but I'm too lazy to do that. | ||

LOL on the hook sharpening...I was just thinking about that the other day and you think gotta catch lot of fish b4 need swharpening but then got to thinking they get banged around off rocks snagged on trees, debris, etc should just make habit to sharpen a couple each trip and rotate...I assume you mainly Jig early season?? I just dont have patients for that havent ever got one jigging but also dont do a ton of it...I do on occasssion but should prob start doing a lil more | ||

I just dont have patients for that havent ever got one jigging but also dont do a ton of it...I do on occasssion but should prob start doing a lil more I prefer to catch any fish species on a jig whether it's vertical jigging, casting, flipping etc. Catching a musky jigging is the best feeling IMO, especially when it's on the down stroke because you feel it so good in your forearm that it hurts. I'll stick it out jigging the river up until the 1st or 2nd week of July unless me & my buddy both aren't catching much or if I'm invited out on someone else's boat. 2 years in a row now my buddy has out fished me in the river & that chit is going to stop this year. Though last year I caught all the bigger ones, while he caught everything under 40. | ||
