Finding the big Muskies.....

As of late, I have doing pretty weel catching my share of smaller Muskies (31-36 inches). I did loose a mid 40 incher the other day in the same area I have been baoting the smaller ones.

Question is: I have been catching the smaller one's early in the morning inside and over the weeds beds. Where should I concentrate to catch the bigger one's? Outside weedline? Should I just keep on pounding my hot spots?

I assume where the smaller ones are, the big ones will show up?

Thanks for the help!

Tahoe, fish the deep weedlines and open water. You can troll in mn, where I assume you are from, time to cast or troll those baitfish schools and outside the weedline. Good luck.

Tahoe,
I've noticed you fish tonka alot. All the big girls stay deep in the summer. They should be coming in soon. Tonka also had a bumper crop of muskies about 5 years ago which explains the over abundance of mid 30's fish. They're a couple inches bigger then last year (35" instead of 33").

Thanks Guys....Treats, I do fish Tonka alot or at least alot recently. Have been getting some good action on the smaller one's. Tried trolling the other day, but to no luck.

Boated a 38" today. I broke the 35" barrier! LOL!

I spoke to guy coming in today as I was leaving and he said he boated a 55" a few weeks ago? He was not at all impressed with my 38" -saying it was small....What an ASS!!

Do they get that big in Tonka?
