Muskie Fishing -> General Discussion -> early season

OK, the water temp is 39-40 degrees, the sky is blue, with some clouds, you are moving fish all morning and get one. Afternoon, high pressure moves in and the wind starts to blow harder. Can't find the fish, they are gone, you try deep, shallow, breaks, everything in the box, nothing! You can't even raise a looker!!!
I tried everything, even tried jigging in deep water, nothing, even trolled open water, breaks, flats, everything, still nothing!!!
So I did what every "WIND BLOWN" fisherman would do,
"I WENT HOME"[:(]

What would you do?

Quick strike rigs and live bait might work.

Trolling small cranks 18'or deeper. Those fish are not always affected by fronts as much as others.

Jason,

We soaked two suckers all day long except the time we were trolling. Sometimes their just being Musky's I guess!

Ralph,
Some days, the muskies are just tough to catch, period. I never give up, as some of my true trophies have come under very tough conditions, and were the only strike of the day.

Just plain hard to catch muskies under those conditions, sometimes![:sun:]

Forgot to mention that I also go immediately to any slop that might be available when the conditions you describe happen, and fish slowly with Violent Strike spinnerbaits, or a big sluggo.[:0]
