| Anybody have any good advice/tactics for a first time ice fisherman? I've been out before and have had good luck with pike on the ice but i was wondering what would be good tackle (rods, baits etc..) to start out with as well as where muskies hold during the winter?
Thanks

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | First, you have to be where fishing muskies through the ice is legal.
Then, fish them like you would Pike. | |

Location: Northern Illinois | I've caught muskies through the ice in the areas that I fish for walleye. Most of these I lost, as I had an 8 lb mono leader on for the finicky walleye. These fish were located at the inlets to lakes where there was some current, in 3-10 ft. of water. Try tip ups with large fatheads, golden roaches, or suckers. Use a smaller size treble hook, and hook the minnows behind their dorsal fin. Enjoy! | |
