Location: Washington, PA | What have you done over the winter to build your muskie mojo? What baits do you have that are totally mojo laiden? For instance, I have a certain believer that was given to me by a certain jew who wants to steal it back. Now this bait has some serious mojo, all scratched up, ready to be eaten. Now if he steals the bait back, it will build upon it's current mojo. What are your thoughts?
Another mojo topic: Have you tried the mojo dance and did it work for you?
Share your muskie mojo experiences, I'm bored.

| Mojo come and mojo go
Be thankful for any mojo you have
Do whatever you can to generate more mojo
I like to customize most of my lures to give them that personal touch of enhanced MOJO |

| Miniwax wood hardner on hawg wobbler joints increases mojo! That sentence sounds dirty, but is actually
true! Restores that original loud & Randi husky hawg sound.
New Wick creeper increases mojo!
Lots of talk, and even more listening, increases mojo..........don't forget your walleye/panfish/pike brothers.....
Meticulous lake research equals mega spring mojo.

| the best "mojo" is not to buy into the idea of "mojo" |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | I have no Mojo. None. Didn't lose it, just plain never had any.
I DID buy a new Weagle. Also, a ERC Hellhound I really like. |

| Are you sure it was a Jew who gave you that Believer and not an Indian Giver? I know slurs are hard to keep straight but we really should be more accurate there. |

Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | Scott, pretty sure I'm Jewish...wait, let me check the ID Card, yep, still the minority here.
The mojo, its like irony, its hard to define, but I know it when I see it.
Personal Opinion On How to Build Mojo:
baits - beat them up on rocks, docks, retaining walls, concrete embankments
-steal them from friends
-buy them from other muskie nuts who have beat on them, without success.
-lose them for a long time, then find them again.
-relegate them to unuseable status, then pull them out for a cameo
-give a friend a treasured bait when life is kicking his a**
-the more muskie hands a bait has passed through, the more mojo it will gain
fishing partners -
-take embarrasing pictures of them
-steal their fish on figure 8s
-steal their lures
-dont mention that they are leaving their baits in your boat, and then claim them through time elapsed
boats
-ram them into EVERYTHING in sight, but of course, never on purpose
-bring as many different people aboard for days on the water, only charge food and gas (at most)
-never allow them to remain clean for more than 20 minutes during the day
-customize them, add non-standard equipment to them, personalize and name them
general fishing day mojo builders
-forget the net
-forget the camera
-forget lunch
-forget to charge the boat batteries
-find interesting (sometimes dangerous) ways to overcome the above
-help someone out at the ramp with their boat
-spend 10 minutes watching someone struggle, laugh inside, then help them at the ramp.
-watch "pleasure boaters" at the ramp scream and yell at each other (spouses are the best) and dont help
-help someone unhook a muskie (super mojo builder)
-clean up garbage from the lake, or at the ramp.
-tow someone in whose boat is overrun with mojo, and refuses to run.
-take a newbie out for muskies
-STOP casting/trolling to observe nature.
Mojo Destroyers
-forget your cigarrettes or lighter
-get overly angry and ruin your partner's day (for whatever reason, losing fish isnt good enough)
-throw garbage in the lake (for you chain smokers, this one is iffy)
-cut another muskie fisherman off at a spot
-lie about what is a pattern/hot bait to another muskie fisherman
*generalized, non-informative answers arent lying, therefore not negative mojifiers
-steal a TREASURED lure from a friend
-play Captain Ahab on your boat, and order partner(s) around
-break someone's gear, and not offer to replace it
-create outright LIES about your past successes to one-up your partners success
-fish with intensity that blocks out the OTHER stuff involved that makes muskie fishing great
Overall mojo observations:
-adventure leads to mojo
-amassing mojo doesnt always lead to muskie catching, just muskie fishing satisfaction
-mojo grows overtime
-overcoming disaster with a positive attitude creates great amounts of mojo
-muskie fishing with family over friends (especially when you have to play guide) builds mojo
Personal Mojo Examples:
1. Fish comes flying at my suick, misses, turns off....tell Jonesi to cast where it went off to.....build mojo....fish eventually eats his bait.
2. SteveW forgets the video camera batteries on a day we're hoping to film for the site.....we boat 4 in 4 hours.
3. Tomyv lementing woman problems on the boat......contemplates calling it a day.....does the mojo dance....smiles like an idiot for days.
Thus endeth the article.

Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | IF its at a bar with dancing (oh the humanity), slyly whip out the mojo dance ("excuse me while I whip this out") and incorporate it into your usual groove. If you do that....pike/walleyes/free cabins here we come! |

| best way to build mojo - grab trash from the waters, even if you have to go out of your way.
mojo killers - pass by trash, or worse, contribute to trash (including gic butts)

| Mojo comes, mojo goes.
Where it's from, noone knows.
Some will say it's x's and o's..
For me it's all about the throws... |

| Holy mojo slamr-
Dude, raw suckers are for muskies, how can you eat something you have to name?
Big Mojo builder- I named one of my suckers my bosses name and sorry to say he didn't last but 30 minutes.hehe
putting a friend on a fish is serious mojo builder. screwing their picture up is a reversal.
Never let your crabby boat partner borrow your mojo if he's having a bad day, they don't like to give it back.

| I've waited a bit on this one.Tommy showed me some new and innovative ways to garner the Mojo on the Goon.After a long winter and many days to ponder the influence of Mojo this past season I've come to the conclusion that it does in fact exist and by following some simple principles it will continue to manifest itself with fish in the Frabill.
1.We've already covered the garbage thing, and it goes for boat landings too.
2.Share.Water,Knowledge, Equipment,Time.
3.Prepare.For ANY possibility.
4.Slow down.Watch the loons,deer etc..
5.Remember, Mother Nature is Boss, we're just employees.
6.Take kids and beginners fishing and put THEM first.
7.(Lucky 7) HAVE FUN!!!!!!!
Simple.Have a great '05 everyone! Steve |

Location: The Sportsman, home, or out on the water | Increasing one's Mojo involves helping someone at the Hodag boat launch who is having problems putting their boat on the trailer, no matter how redneck their pontoon is, and everyone else is looking at them and laughing. Increasing one's Mojo is meeting Roger Sabota at the Hodag boat landing, politely asking him what color he's gonna throw, catching a ski based on his advice, then giving him one of your custom built bucks when you see him later and thanking him profusely. Mojo is something you earn through kindness, respect, and fishing your heart out. |
