Musky Season

[diggyj]

Anyone going to be targeting Musky this weekend. Where will you try your luck? I might throw a bucktail or some big crank/swimbaits on RICE in an attempt to hook into a monster myself.

Have only ever caught one and it was caught on the Trent River, east of Hastings using a Phenix Tube. It was caught the day before Musky season opened, actually only hours before. HHHEEEEHHHHHHHHH

Not me LoL not intentionally anyways I need to invest into some heavy action rods and reels first LOL. On the bright side these rods do not require finesse therefore should be relatively cheap I would imagine.

Not really. If you are getting something heavy like a Shimano Crucial like I have you are looking at around $160 and up for a rod. Shimano Musky Rods are $130. Pair that with a Calcutta, Citica, Curado or other and the entire setup could set you back a few hundred dollars. When it comes to Musky you better have the right gear or your rod will break.

Heavy equipment a must for the sake of the fish.

Dirk,

I've actually caught a few Muskie in Scugog off the pier in Caesarea. Got them while I was going after Walleye at night. One decent one... about 42 inches. I think last year. Off a small X-Rap or a suspending jerk like that...

All off of spinning gear and 10 lb test!

Good luck at Rice Lake. I've caught a few near Bewdley...
