Just thought I would pick your brains. What day of the week do you think is the best day of the week to fish? Vote and please put why. I feel Thursdays. I have had the most luck on Thursdays and since the water I fish has a lot of weekend boat traffic. Its like the fish know the busy weekend is coming and they start to eat for the weekend. Does this make sense, I do not know. Just seems that way.


What is your day of the week......

Wednesday as it has given the fish a few days to recover after the weekend and is before the weekend starts again..

I historically have my best luck on Thursdays, but any weekday on pressured waters is good. You have to fish whenever you can!

I'm the one who voted for Sunday (although Saturday is just as good). The reason is, I fish the LOTWs. Most of the pressure is during the week, as most folks who come here on vacation will come on a Saturday or Sunday and leave on a Saturday or Sunday depending on the distance they have to travel. There are almost no locals (in the Angle area) who fish muskies to any extent, so almost all fishing pressure is from folks who are on vacation. Saturdays and Sundays are transition days (people coming and going) and those days usually have the least fishing pressure. Usually the worst days are Mondays and Fridays (the first day of the trip and the last day of the trip).

Believe me you can really tell the differance.

I guess it depends on where you fish. Where I fish, the pressure is mostly on the weekends, so I picked thursday. It gives the max amount of recovery time from the weekend, hit it just before the pressure picks back up.

Actually as a young friend of mine so recently reminded me, and I quote, "The best day to go fishing is any day that ends in Y" unquote.

I love to fish on TUESDAYS!!!! We have our Rhinelander area tuesday nite musky league and it is a blast going out every week through the summer and fishing with some really awesome people and the competition is as stiff as ANY tournament anywhere. If you live in the area and do not fish this league you are missing out!!! Dave Jonesi

I seldom fish on the weekend becouse I don't work. Thursday would be my pick becouse that is the day I see the least numbers of fishermen on Kinkaid.

When ever I can!!.
If I had my choice it would be on days with a quickly falling barometer, dark skies, and the rain would hold off until I was leaving the ramp..tired and happy.

Just yesterday we were looking at old photos and my 10 yr old asked.."dad, how come it always seems to rain when we go muskie fishing?"

I have to agree with DR on this one. Its not so much trying to figure out when the fish will be least pressured or any of that jazz, we just plain old have a ton of fun in our Tuesday league up in the Rhinelander area.

Lots of good friends and very good sticks you are up against, and if you win that week, its a whole week of bragging to your buddies!!!

I like Thursdays, someone already mentioned changeover day at resorts, that day is Saturday on the lake were on.

Sometimes Mondays and tuesdays can be packed on community spots from resort goers.

Thursdays are the best for me

Tuesdays for me. Live in Rhinelander, but do not fish the league. I just like the day, have had good luck on Tuesdays.

As was stated though, any day on the water is a great day.

Musky Dr Dave, count me OUT for the league this year. No league and only one tournament for me this year. The rest of the time is going to be spent else where, and not where you think. It pays off big to do homework during the winter!!

Norm, no subbing for me this year either. Like stated above, time will be spent else where.

Kristy will still work with the league, but I will not be fishing it at all.

Probably Tuesday because of lack of pressure and maybe fish driven deep by weekend pleasure boaters are up and on the feed.
