| Bergy the muskies are on most of the weed edges, but at different times, wind speed and direction, clear or overcast, milfoil or cabbage, rock base or mud are all variables. Jason said it best work the windy edges,also the greenest weeds you can find. This works for me on a new lake. Time on the water is your best bet, the more you are on the water the more you will learn. Keep your eyes open while on the water, if you see three boats work the same spot in a hour check it out when you have some room to work it. Talk to people at the launches and the bait shops, ask questions be nice and thank them for any info. Muskie fishermen sometimes are tight lipped on the water but if you ask them at the launch they seem to say more because you are not in their spots. Be observant while on the water, watch what other people are casting or how they are using their poles. You can tell what their using by how they handle their rods and the action they put on their lures. Above all time on the water teaches you best, a guide is also a great way to learn the lake and the extra things that put fish in the boat consistantly throught the year.[;)] |
