Summer Musky Tips Needed

[bulletbob]

Muskies are more aggressive in the fall when the water cools down.. I would keep that in mind.. Yes they eat all year, but for most people the cool water in fall will bring more action . I don't fish for them mainly because they are a fish that takes a LOT of effort... This time of year I personally think the Delaware River is a better choice if you are dead set on catching a summertime/dog days Muskie... There was a big one caught a few days ago in the Susquehanna, but even there in the river where there are a lot of them, they are really tough to catch in warm water, and very few locals fish for them until fall. Fish of a thousand casts.. That saying is true for the most part.

You might try live lining some sunnies under a slip bobber on the edges of weed beds. You need a decent drift for this to be effective and cover more ground so if there is no wind for a drift, slow and I mean slow troll with your trolling motor.

As mentioned above, they are much more aggressive in the spring and fall when water temps are below 60 s and that's when you'll have your best shot.

Good luck and stick with it!!
