How do you catch Muskies in nortern Wisconsin?

Question

Little St. Germain Lake

Answer 1

Go catch some small bluegill or perch.

Hook one through the back behind the dorsal fin. Do not damage it's spine.

Use a large bobber with enough line beneath it to allow the bait to swim freely to within a couple of feet of the bottom. Use a wire leader at least 6 inches long.

I like to fish the edges of weed beds, and where channels just start to widen into open water.

When you get a strike, give it a count of 3 before setting the hook.

You'll catch more pike than muskie, but that's just how it is.

Answer 2

You could troll large plugs for muskie. You could also troll for walleye or other fish and once you get into a school cast for muskie. Or you could use live bait such as a perch or small walleye you catch. O yea and just to let you know a cool fact there are over 1 reported musky attack a year in Wisconsin i read that somewhere a little while ago.
