10 Muskie Fishing Tips
Do you fish for muskies? Would you like to catch more muskies? In this article, we share muskie fishing tips to help you catch more muskies.
1. "Find The Bait, find the muskie"
Find the bait, find the muskies. Muskies are said to be concerned about only two things: spawning and eating. If you can find their bait, you will locate muskies.
2. Division of Natural Resources
Visit the Division of Natural Resources website of the state you plan to fish in. You will find lakes, rivers, and creeks that may have muskies. This site will inform you if muskies are in the bodies of water in that state.
3. Shallow Sands
Fish the shallow sand or weed flats with glide baits, crankbaits, swimbaits, and soft plastics when the weather is mild or there is a warming trend. When the temperature drops, use the same baits to fish for muskies.
4. Full Moon
Fishing for muskies during a full moon gives you an advantage. For daytime fishing, choose a day with a new or full moon. Similarly, for nighttime fishing, fish a night with a full moon also. If you would like to learn more about muskie fishing tips for beginners, then click this link.
5. Heavy Braided Line
Use a heavy, braided line with a pound test between 80 and 100. The higher a line’s “pound test” is, the stronger it will be. Connect the line to the lure with a steel or heavy fluorocarbon leader since muskies have sharp teeth.
6. Bait Too Large?
Don’t think that the bait is too large for muskies. Lures that are 8 to 12 inches are well with the reason for catching muskies. Muskies eat almost every other freshwater fish, perch, suckers, minnows, shad, cisco, carp, fatty fish, ducks, muskrats, mice, other muskies, rodents, and frogs.
7. Cold Water Baits
Use small baits like rattle traps, glide baits, jerk baits, jib baits, and crankbaits in colder water to draw more strikes as fish are more sluggish. For warmer temperatures, use larger and fast-moving baits such as rubbers, bucktails, spinnerbaits, topwaters, and swimbaits as fish are more active.
8. Clear Waters
In clear waters, use natural colors and patterns. You can also “match the hatch”. If there are perch in there, use perch imitations. Similarly, if there are shads located there, use shad imitations to lure the muskies. When the visibility is low, use bright colors like orange, white, or chartreuse. You can also choose dark colors like black to provide contrast in dirty water.
9. Use Sharp Hooks
Always use sharp hooks. Take with you a sharpening tool for large hooks since large hooks out of the package are usually dull.
10. Lure Presentations
Don’t remain fixed on one lure presentation. Change lures often. Experiment with other presentations until you find the winner.
Conclusion
Fishing for muskies is satisfying and exciting. In this article, we share tips to help you catch more muskies. If you want to learn more about fishing, then go to thehuntingterrain.com.

Fishing-wise... today sucked balls. The weather man needs a good swift kick in the nuts.
They called for highs of 65 and sunny. I, LUCKILY, grabbed my raincoat out of habit...
It fucking poured for 5hrs and the temp was 30 when we put on and only got to 44.
Always a good time to get out with my buddy. Then, at the ramp ran into two more of my friends and bullshitted and caught up for an hour before comin home.

Mab’s Drawlloween Day 9: Finfolk
“Mussie”
Mussie is my local lake monster said to lurk in the depths of Muskrat Lake in the Ottawa Valley with documented sightings dating to 1906, but with claims dating to the early 1600s. I think Mussie is a muskie or muskellunge —a giant carnivorous fish species of the Great Lakes region similar to a pike that can grow as big or bigger than a man and who’s been known to chomp on one every now and then.
