New to Muskies???
 

Hey guys, just wondering when it's prime muskie fishing time? I'm new to muskie fishing, so do you go by water temp? Weather? or time of year?
I know prime time is coming up soon but I also go hunting and need to manage my time properly to make the best of it.
I don't shotgun deer but bow hunt them, so will it be good muskie fishing duringthe timefrom Nov. 16th to Dec. 2nd?

Thanks!!!

Not sure where you are from or what your season dates are but here in WI musky season closes on NOV.31 but right now until the end the toothie ones are on the move... I have been looking alot on the muskyfirst site and they are really starting to wack em all over the place in WI and MN... Right now the hottest bait out their is a double cowgirl, depending what water clarity you are fishing should dictate your color... My favorite is a black with 2 silver blades, or black with orange blades... The bulldogs are working too.... Good luck and right now till it closes is a great time to be water hogging.... Good luck and hope to see some posts....

A new VA state record was caught this year, it was 45 lbs. and 53" long (hope I didn't mix the #s up) :)

Right now! The muskys are storing up fat to survive the the winter. Any fish you catch right now will be FAT.
