Posts: 1764 Location: Ogden, Ut | FSF had a great idea in asking that the procedure to post pics be added to the FAQ list. Never really having an original thought of my own, I figured I could build upon his genius and come up w/some more potential questions. It would sure clear the message threads of unnecessary minutia and leave space for arguing the merits of a new tournament circuit.  Common posts for internet muskie fishing…and their correct answers Any similarities to real persons, living or brain-dead, is purely coincidental. Q1. What type of reel do I need? A1. The most friggin’ expensive one you can find. Q2. What type of rod do I need? A2. The most friggin’ expensive one you can find. Q3. What type of line do I need? A3. Line? Don’t be ridiculous, you need ¼” nylon rope or cable. Q4. What type of jerk bait is best, side to side or up and down? A4. You need both. They are tools, you tool. Q5. What is a better crankbait choice, jointed or solid? A5. You need both. Tool. Q6. What is a better choice, match the hatch, or high contrast? A6. OK, you’re just not getting it are you? You need it ALL! Everything you can think of, at least one of each, in multiple colors. Tools, get it? You never see a competent mechanic trying to use red-handled pliers on a nut specifically requiring a blue-handled pliers do you? Of course not. Q7. Where should I go next summer for muskies? A7 The most friggin’ expensive place you can find. Be very disappointed if the muskies aren’t available in both size and number. Q8. Is this fish big? A8. No. It’s not even close to that. Come back when you’ve learned how to measure them. Q9. How do you go about taking pictures by yourself? A9. Go to a place where there’s no one else around and take pictures. Q10. OK, how do I take pictures of my fish when I’m by myself? A10. You shouldn’t take pictures, that might harm the fish so that I can’t catch it or worse, act to remind me that I actually didn’t catch it. And it wasn’t really that big. Q11. Who gets my money if I buy an Okuma reel? A11. You may wish to visit the Okuma site and ask that same question there. Q11a. NO! I asked a question and I expect an answer. It’s not that Rogers guy is it? I heard one time it took him a whole 4 hours to respond to an email complaint; I’m not going to deal with that kind of lack of customer service. Now where does my money go? A11a. Really, you should go to the source and ask the question. Q11b. What kind of conspiracy is this anyway? Is free speech dead? I hate this place and will never post here again. But I still need my answer. A11b. Sheesh. Q12. What is the best book to read in order to gain some practical muskie knowledge? A12. You need to buy the Library of Congress and read those. When you’re done, come back and we’ll quiz you. Q13. I only have about 4 hours to fish on Saturday, where do you recommend I go? A13. Lake X. Q14. What size trolling motor do I need for my boat? A14. Biggest friggin’ motor you can find. You have to use spiral cell batteries. Seven of ‘em. Wire them in a parallel series with 0 gauge wire (or just use one of your wire leaders) and a 600 amp breaker. Make use of all of the collective knowledge on these boards, then ignore it and pay attention to me alone. Q15. Well then, what brand of trolling motor should I get? A15. (Motorguide owners) Motorguide. A15a. (Minnota owners) Minnkota. A15b. (row trollers) huh? Q16. Should I use a 9” Suick or a 10” Suick? A16. Go big or go home. Suicks have no place in modern muskie fishing; lures need to be a minimum of 15” or 2 lbs. To be taken seriously. Wimp. Q17. Is plastic or wood better for lures? A17. It depends largely on which one is more expensive, but to play it safe…you need both. Q18. What is your best advice for a person new to muskie fishing? A18. Take out a home equity line of credit; you’ll need it. Q19. Which is better for the muskie; a cradle or a big net? A19. Neither; its people like you who are ruining muskie fishing by trying to actually land them. It adds to angling pressure, delayed mortality and conditions fish to being caught. You should actually just drive past them, that way they should experience fewer hardships from the act of angling. Unless it’s warm out, then avoid them all together. In fact, it’s probably the body heat generated from your mere presence that is causing the water temperature to increase, so your best bet is to just stay away. You should consider a Lepidopteron collection. Q20. How do I fish the rather difficult conditions exhibited during turnover? A20. Fish somewhere else, learning to adjust to difficult conditions does you no good; go after easier fish. Q21. I’ve not had particularly good luck getting figure 8 fish to strike, what can I do to up my odds? A21. You suck. Face it and just give up; hope the fish bite away from the boat. Q22. Hypothetically, the person I might be fishing with wants to go to Canada, but he may or may not have gotten a DUI 17 years ago. Can we cross the border? A22. Yeah, but you have to pay like $900 and have an “I have been to Rehab” tattoo put on his hypothetical forehead. Q23. Do French Canadians really dislike MuskyHopeful? A23. Unfortunately, yes. | ||
