| To protect your leaders,cut a piece of 3/4" PVC slightly longer than your longest leader.Glue a cap on one end and just slide a cap on the other.Works great and takes up very little room |

| I fish a lake that is very heavily fished, especially during the weekend. Every visible place is usually taken by the weekend anglers. This lake has lots of underwater trees in water that is 50-60 ft. deep. You cannot see them on the surface. After I find them with a depthfinder, I troll 8" Believers (fairly weedless thru the trees and pick up a fish now and then. I also look for minnow or crappie dimples in the main lake basin in this deep water. They are usually suspended above the trees. Fish below them for Muskies. These areas can be trolled or vertically jigged. This isn't any secret tip for a lot of guys. However, what it does do is give me basically "virgin territory" when I fish this overcrowed 505 acre lake because no one else fishes there. They are all up on the shoreline throwing their white spinnerbaits. |

| My muskie tip is to fish hard!
To often I get out in the boat and fish hard for about 10 minutes didn't see anything so I relax. YOu can already guess what happens, I get bored and nothing happens. For a guy who hasn't ever seen a follow ,but about half a dozen in the boat, in his 1 year muskie pursute I have seen about 30 this month alone. This week and last week. It's not that none of them are biting just I'm not getting hooks in them or there missing. But the main reason I am seeing action lately is because I'm fishing hard. I'm finding out some good structure and fishing weedlines and applying baits to the situation. I have told myself if the crank dives a bit to deep then to give it a twitch and let it rise a little bit more. Sometimes it will count for the action in a day if you just slow down a little bit. I would advise you to do what's different! I have tried doing what everyone elses is doing but it doesn't work! I see the fish when I do something unknown to their eye. I don't know what you want to go about doing it whether it's a really erratic presentation or your bouncing your crankbait off rocks or just ticken the weed tops. Make as much noise when your twitching that thing on a hard surface. |

| Here is a tip for suckers. If you are using a sucker 12" or less put the treble hook of the quick strike on the bottom of the fish as opposed to the back. Believe it or not the hook up high will tire them and they will ride upside down at rest. |
|
| |
|
| Another sucker tip. If you are using suckers in warm water buy them from a shop that is not using a chiller if you plan to use them right away. I am having them last this way in 70 degree water using a quick strike rig. I have bought suckers in the past from a chilled tank and the temp shock knocks them deader than a doornail. |

| This is from Steve @ G & S Guide Service, so if it wins, he deserves any prizes. When your fishing murky water or at night or you've got a rod lent out to a newbie or just anytime, try this: Take your line that your about to tie onto your leader and tie it onto a threading needle. Thread the needle and your line through 3" piece of worm. Cut the line off of the needle, and tie it onto your leader. Now don't have to worry about crankin' the leader into to the top eyelet.

| This tip is when storing your rods and you want to minimize the chance of the line from catching on other rods or lures in the boat. Attach the working end of your line (crosslock snap or even the lure itself) to the reel or the hook holder that some rods have. Tighten the line snug by turning the reel handle (works best with instant anti-reverse reels). Now stand the rod vertically on the butt end and with one hand grab the fishing line that goes from the tip of the rod down the crosslock snap (or the lure) at approximately the middle of the rod and at the closest line guide on the rod. Now spin the rod with your other hand and watch the line snuggly wrap around the rod and the line going from the reel to the rod tip. This will wrap the fishing line around the rod a few times and will virtually eliminate any loose line hanging off of the rod. Once the line is wrapped snug then simply slip the line over that closest line guide and it will hold the line in place.
Hope this is understandable! [8)]

| Congrats to MuskiePippo for winning the May contest!!
-----------------------------------
Here is my June tip:
Set the hook twice
A muskie's jaw is mostly bone and teeth. Many times, a single hook set will only poke the tips of the hook(s) into the muskies mouth, but it will not get the hook past the barb. When the opportunity presents itself, set the hook hard again.
Good luck this season!

| Hi,
Here are my june tips of the month.
1. I know this works because it is the only lure that i have actually had a bite on.
take a bagleys db-06 and cut 2 inches off of the back of it insert screw eyes into both ends of the lures then attach them 2gether with a split ring. and don't forget to epoxy the screw eyes in the holes.
2. take someone fishing. some people that u want to consider taking are kids, women, and people that have not fished before. If you don't the future of fishing is done, for your kids, their kids, and maybe even yourself.
Just ask us believe me i'm a kid and we are just waiting for someone to take us fishing.
3. a bad day fishing is mannnnnyyyyyyyy times better than a good day at work.
