Location: oswego, il | There are some good older ones that detail lakes done by guides. I know Mike Mladenik did a whole series about 18 years ago and I have the set. |

They are basically the old FHS books latest revision. Written by the same two legendary Northwoods guides. There is fact and opinion but they cover more lakes, almost all in the area they cover not selected like other book series. You get the good and bad lakes. These books are excellent for pointing you in the direction you want to go. I've found some gems using them. |

Location: Brighton CO. | I want to thank MartinTD for putting me on "Next Level Musky Fishing" book by Steven Paul.
7.62 x Jay asked for a review.
Well I've read it and here's what I think. It's well written 282 pages plus six page forward by respected Jim Stewart owner of "The Musky Shop" and the Famous "Hall Of Fame Legendary Angler" Joe Bucher and also a six page Preface by the author.
Like Tom Gelb's book "Musky Strategy" it's not a book on how to catch Muskies but takes parts of Muskie fishing in a deeper context. The chapters are Musky Structure, Tech Savvy, Reading Water, Moon Phases, Gear, Big Rubber, Dive & Rise Jerkbaits, Crankbaits, Trolling, Final Thoughts, And a Afterword by Jay at "The Musky Shop"
The Gear, Moon Phases, and Final thoughts are shorter chapters, Structure, Tech Savvy and how to work the lures are quite long and detailed. The Tech Savvy goes into how to use all the new Electrons and how to get the most out of all of them.
I highly recommend this book. I got at "The Musky Shop" See MartinTD's post above. |

| Eli Singer had some books that I really enjoyed. I think I have all of them. Great interviews with old guides and some good photos of days gone by. Unfortunately he passed away 10 years ago. |

Location: Brighton CO. | Bill Gardner is a riot, the stuff he comes up with is great. And to top it off it's a great snap shot of Muskie fishing in Northern Wisconsin in 1980 and when he talks of earth quakes, brush fires mudslides and the Hillside Strangler it hits home for me, I was right down the 405 Freeway from him in 1980. Inspired by "Time On The Water" Bill Hamblin does "120 Days" One man's quest hunting giant Muskies on Georgian Bay. This came out in 2015. |
