Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | After turnover for me, but I am pretty new at fishing with live bait for muskies. |

| LOL, I suppose they'd work all year long, but its near impossible to keep them alive when water temps are over about 60. I'd say 55 - 60 is a place to start, but probably best luck on live bait happens when water temps go below 50. Which is too bad -- casting keeps you warmer in the cold than just sittin' there. |

| How much line do you guys let them (the suckers) run with and at what kind of depths? |

| Depends on the depth you are fishing, really. Let out any more line than you have water and you're going to spend your day getting them hung up on structure, untangling them from each other, and not having much fun at all.
Also depends on where the muskies are in the water column, too. |

| When they run in spring. Usually shortly after easter. A big Beckman muskie net works like a charm in smaller streams. Smoke 'em up, goes good with a case of cheap beer. |

| One off the front of the boat, near the bottom, 1'-3'; 2nd off the back of the boat, 5' - 7' down, assuming I am working the 2nd break or shallower. Front about 15' -20' when fishing suspended, same off the back.
Front will draw the attention of deep fish, back will draw the attention of fish that follow your lures in. |

Location: where the fish are... | depending on how your boat is moving in the water, if you are moving in a forward direction i would run one out the back if you can get onto a good breeze and roll a shore line side ways thats the only way i would run two, they will move around quite a bit so getting them close together prolly isnt a good idea |
