>>>>Is it even possible (should I just move)?<<<<
December 30th, 2010 at 8:07 am
I was in your same position 6 years ago. I had recently moved from FLA to MN. And although I didn’t “give up” my Bass fishing, I fish a wider variety of freshwater species than I EVER have. For me, a lot of the “allure” of Walleye fishing is the possibility of catching something over 6-8 LB’s. I KNOW I’m not gonna catch a 10LB Bass here in MN! So far, the biggest Bass I’ve caught HERE was just shy of 6 lbs, and the locals thought I should MOUNT IT! (lol)(I’ve got 4 over 8Lb’s & one that went over 10! Thats what FLA does to Bass. Make them Bigger! lol)Anywho, although Bass fishing “ain’t all that exciting” here in MN I have found that the Crappie, Walleye, Northerns, & Trout are!Techniques for Walleye: Fish rivers & streams if you can! I have found that MN fishermen overlook streams & small creeks because they can’t get there 18FT Lund into them! (lol)In MN there are 10,000 lakes and 1,000,000,000 people using them! (lol) I’ll bet you may have a similar scenario happening at your local lake system’s? In any case, small streams & creeks are easier to “pattern” and usually hold bigger Walleye. If you hate jigging get ready to be sad. Trolling worm/lindy riggs, hard plastics, & (drum roll) JIGS are the #1 ways to catch Walleye. I love jigging Walleye but many people have better luck with a lindy worm rig. I like Jigs tipped with minnows, leeches, and crawlers. But it’s rare I use “bait”. I would start fishing with Berkely “GULP” grub-bodys in black. They are phenomenal!I have had excellent luck with Yozuri’s “Crystal Minnow’s” at night. (I imagine because of their “wide wobble” characteristics.) If you are getting serious about Walleye expect to fish frequently at dusk and night. They seem to have “lock-jaw” at other times, (UNLESS your fishing at Lac Seul or Dogtooth in Canada). “Perch & Shad colored” baits have worked well for me.Hope this helps ya somehow? Check my past “starred questions” for further info. See ya out there!

A lot of times, the fish will follow the lure to make sure they want to eat it or not. When doing the figure 8 right in their face it can trigger them to bite as it looks like an injured fish swimming around in circles. I’ve only gone musky fishing a couple of times but have found that doing the figure 8 is a very important thing to do and you can catch a lot more fish that way. Ask your guide about it. Good luck fishin’!

Musky? In Florida? Hm… I’ve lived here 32 years, and never heard of anyone catching a musky around here… we got sturgeon, but no Muskys as far as I know. (someone slap me hard if I’m wrong)Snook will hit shrimp, finger mullet, all kinds of yummy stuff, but they’re wily fish, and I’ve only caught them on accident. Your best bet would be to ask at a local bait store where the best spots to target them would be, and what baits they’be been hitting lately.Good luck… ‘specially on the musky…

try using a 1 1/2oz mepps musky killer in black with a silver blade. this is probaly the best musky lure there is. also try a creek chub jointed pikie in perch if you have a rod big enough.

I was going to suggest a Shimano Calcutta 400B which weighs 11.7 ounces, has 17.5 pounds of drag, holds 260 yards of 14 pound mono and has a 5.0:1 gear ratio the sucks up 24″ of line per handle turn. Normally goes for $230… not available in Left-Hand retrieve, though. There is the Calcutta 201B… it weighs 10.1 ounces, has 11 pounds of drag, holds 120 yards of 14 pound mono and has a 6.0:1 gear ratio that swallows 27″ of line per handle turn… you can easily burn big, heavy bucktails with that. Normally goes for $200. And hey! It’s Left-Hand retrieve!Look for cheaper used ones on eBay. There really is no such thing as a “decently priced” reel. You get what you pay for.

Umm, I think there a touch too big and anyway why use kittens when you can use minnows, mice, frogs in either real, real/dead (for the mice and frogs), or real/live (for the minnows). These baits would work much better than kittens. I really don’t think muskey would go for em, but they might. Stick with minnows and dead mice.

Yes it is. The only thing like that that I’ve ever heard of being regulated or checked is some of the Redfish tournaments I fish, the winning fish are cut open and examined to make sure no foriegn materials (lead sinkers) are present. But that has only happened at a few tournaments. And at all of those tournaments the fish were already being donated back to the tournament for a fish fry so it’s not like they killed them for ne reason.

I am not familiar with Lake Nippising but I have fished in Canada numerous times. Here is what I’ve found- Most Border and Canadian Lakes can be easily fished with only a handful of various bait’s and lures. Bait’s?- Leeches and Shiners will be your best bait for Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, medium-sized Northern Pike. If you are dead-set on catching trophy Pike with bait an 8-12″ Sucker would be your best bait. Lures?- Jigs are probably the cheapest and most productive lure. 1/4-3/8 OZ being the best weight’s and Black & Chartreuse being the better colors. Berkley Gulp Leeches and 4″ Curly-tailed Grubs are good trailers for your jigs. Jigs are also perfect tipped with a live minnow or leech. Spoons can be fantastic for Northern Pike/Musky. Rapala’s can be productive in the shallower sections of any Canadian lake. Any Rapala that resembles Cisco’s, Shiners, or Shad can be deadly if trolled behind the boat. It’s important to use Fluorocarbon leaders or a low diameter Braided line in some clear Canadian lakes because of the amazing clarity of the water. I’ve used Fireline 4/10 “smoke-colored” braid and Power Pro 3/8 braid with very good results. “Dog -walked” Topwater lures can be esp deadly on Smallmouth Bass and Northern Pike. Try to find “current” or a stream flowing into your lake. This will increase your odds of catching fish. Remember, it’s not unusual to catch 50-100 fish in one day in Canada! Hope this info helped ya? Good fishing.

Yes I have caught Pike before. can’t go wrong with a Hot Steal Floating Rapala along the weedbeds. You don’t always have to go deep to catch pike, they are predators and will go shallow (like Muskie they love the weedbeds). I’d use a steal leader if I were you, they have extremely sharp teeth and a 8lb pike could tear off your 16lb test line. I’d say spring is the best time to catch pike, in some areas, when right when the ice thaws is the best time to catch pike because they have been underwater for so long with limited food source, and they are looking for a quick meal.

Check out the link below. On the bottom is a list of other links to checkout also. Have him sign into and register in the forums. There you will have to look for, but will find a user named whittler. You’ll find him in the Tacklemaking section of the forums. He is the author of the crankbait article, and makes lures for different fish species. He is a big help, and will answer any emails you send to him, unless you use ebonics when you type messages, he hates that, and will not respond. By ebonics I mean words like “eye” instead of “I” etc.. you get the point. If thats not what your looking for, it will at least get you started. The 2nd link is for his profile on the forum page, and the 3rd link has a picture of his work. I suggest you join the forums also. There are lots of people on there to help also. Have fun and tight lines.

try a “rage tail toad” by strike king. a soft plastic frog whos two legs kick the shizz out of the water surface. more so than those other frog wannabees. these things draw massive strikes, do sink, but not too fast. rig them on a 5/0 or 6/0 EWG worm hook without any weight. they are heavy enough to give a good cast on their own. crank them in just like a buzzbait, fast enough to get those legs really kicking. hang on to your rod!give the rage tail shad a shot too.

http://www.cabelas.com/topwater-baits-1.shtmla few of those i guess in a round about way look like what you are after… or just go to an adult shop and buy a fake penis and attack a few hooks to it….

Muskies as a whole will respond to large jointed lures. Many lures used for muskies are advertised as such. I don’t fish for muskies, but their cousins the northern pike LOVE big minnows. By the way, Chautauqua Lake in NY is famous for it’s muskie fishing, so if you’re ever in the mood for a trip, you know where to go.
January 6th, 2011 at 8:05 am
I like to use lures. (More active fishing than a bobber and bait). They have Pike/Musky specific lures, but pike will hit most any lure. They like to play with lures and bait, so don’t be surprised to get hits but no fish the first few tosses.Your best bet is to talk to a local bait shop to see what the fish are hitting. They do vary in hunting and feeding during different times of the year depending on what the main food supply is at that time. They may be feeding more in the surface and you might want floating minnows or similar bait, or they might be feeding more off the bottom, in which case you want the bait to sink. The might be more actively hunting, in which case the lures will be the most successful.

If your on a budget go with the Revo Inshore. If you can spend more get the Revo Toro. Both, (the Tora/Inshore) are VERY nice to fish with and are the strongest low-profile reels on the market. (You need to get the best drag you can afford; Musky tend to die if you play them too long.) If you decide to go with a round-style I vote for the Calcutta. Calcutta’s are VERY nice, (although their drags are only 10-12LB’s).Have you had a lot of luck with your Suicks? I’ve thrown them all day and got nadda…I’ve caught more big Northerns and Musky with 1/2 OZ Bass fishing Spinnerbaits than with any of my larger Musky tackle…(lol).I guess it depends on where you are.

to keep it simple for you and least expensive.BASS: baits are plastic worms or grubs Texas or Carolina rigged WALLEYE: Can`t beat the leadhead jig tiped with worm minnow or leech.PIKE:spoons or banjo minnowMUSKIE: large plugs or large spinners. can`t go wrong with anyone of thesehttp://www.barlowstackle.com http://www.cabela`s.com or http://www.basspro.com for all your tackle needs
