My nephew is wanting to catch a muskie and I'd like to take him out early in June. He lives in North West Indiana and is 15. I've fished Webster a couple of times before, but am wondering if this is still the best option. He's looking for his first, but I would appreciate chances at larger. Any one have any suggestions or recomendations?

The best bet for a first timer is St. Clair. The numbers and size can't be beat. You will need a guide and it is worth every penny. Spencer Berman is a top guide service.

Webster showed it's back with the pmtt last year. Fish it. His first doesn't have to be a 50.

Agree with Todd. TONS of smaller (24-32”) fish. Fished the Indiana Muskie Classic last weekend and moved about 20 in our day on Webster. Gliders!!!

St. Clair is out for a day trip. Nephew is in golf and club basketball so his schedule is crazy busy. Webster seems like the most likely spot, but been hearing some rumors of other lakes near by kicking out good numbers and size. Just wondered if it was worth exploring other options as Ive heard Webster wasn't what it used to be.

Webster is a good bet for action. Fish the deeper holes with gliders, swimbaits, bulldawgs, medussas, and even WTD topwaters such as a jackpot. Make sure to do a full figure 8 or two every cast as fish can come out of anywhere. Move up on the edges and into the weeds if you don't move anything over open water.
