Quit changing lures, keep your hooks sharp and be ready. Cover water and change speeds until you find fish. If you don't contact fish, oh well, it happens to everyone. No easy answers, if there were, it wouldn't be musky fishing. Enjoy the scenery and the flavor of the Northwoods. Make your own good luck- for what it's worth, I hope ya score soon.

Location: WESTERN WI | The fish are either shallow, deep, or somewhere in between. Even when the muskys are dialed in its seems tough, transition areas from spawning areas to summer haunts are worth checking. The musky season is only 15 hours old on the Chip this season, it is young. Good luck.

Location: Elko - Lake Vermilion | I fished the chip a few times, so here goes..... If your fishing shallow, go deeper find structure and pound it,... If your fishing deeper,...go shallow,... keep at it,...
and cover water fast but thoroughly.
Use small bucktails, twich baits, Cranks, dawgs.
you shouldn't be on the Internet while on a fishing trip,... unless it's at 1:00am-4:00am

Location: Hayward ,Wisconsin | What areas have you fished ? East side or west ? Smaller bucktails should do the trick. water level a bit high now so i would try throwing alot closer to cover. |

| we were throwing larger bucktails, and Reefhawgs all day, later on we switched to smaller bucktails and bass style lures and saw a smaller 30 inch muskie. with these storms coming in and out its hard to target them.. we were just looking for some advice on spots, we have fished petes bar and other random spots we found on our map. if you can help us at all, we are new to spring fishing and it takes some getting used to. thanks guys. |

| Just keep at it. If they aren't shallow move off a couple cast lengths and throw some dawgs.

| I've heard deep diving surface baits are the ticket for early season Chip muskies. No really! |
