Then after you get them figured out using a small set of lures, they'll give you the fin and you'll be bent over staring at your tackle box overflowing with baits wondering what will be easy on the shoulder and elbow to reel in next since nothing is working and it might as well be a bit easier on them, so you pick that lure that never produced and what happens? A fish shows itself on a piece of structure you've fished before but never had action. Have fun. It's an addiction no doubt. That's another good peice of advice, along with the lures mentioned above ill bring some "oddball" lures with and see if those work |

You cant go wrong learning to use bulldawgs, you literally cant work them wrong. Anyway you work them is a good way. The more random and erratic, the better. Read articles, watch videos, etc and you can pick up a lot from those. Browse these forums and READ them. You would be surprised how much you can pick up from here. GOOD LUCK! Bulldawgs sound good too ill pick one of them up, what color do you have the best luck with? Thanks for wishing me good luck

| So work has me in Missouri for at least 3 weeks and likely more so I've decided to spend my only off day for the first 2 weeks musky fishing on Pomme de Terre in the central Missouri about an hour from where I'm working. Anyone ever fished this lake before? I have a guided trip setup, hopefully the weather continues to cooperate and the muskies are moving when I get to the marina on Mother's Day! |

Location: Roscoe IL | I would consider hiring Ty Senette, he's a fantastic guide in that area, hes out of the Treeland resort on the big chip. I have fished with him several times and always learn something each time. My best luck has always been Topwater baits, topraiders, pacemakers and creepers on all of the lakes mentioned.
Best luck

Boat control and timing are the most important. Put your boat where the fish are and cast at prime times. (evening, morning, moon rise and set) Thanks for the tip, Ill probably go at all the times but ill use a trolling motor. How far should the boat be from where ill be casting out to?
I keep my boat as far from the fish as my cast length will allow. So if the fish are on the edge, keep your boat far enough out from it to make your bait land just beyond where you believe a fish to be sitting. Once you have boat control and timing down, then you work on presentation. That is mostly learned from experience and personal preference in what baits you like. There are a million different ways to catch a musky. You just have to figure out which way is best for you. I throw bucktails a lot and catch a lot of fish in the figure 8, but a lot of people catch most of their fish on the retrieve. It all comes down to how you present the bait to trigger a strike. I found a way that works for me and that is to burn bucktails and do a quality figure 8. Its a pretty popular method but you don't have to do it that way.
