Lake Independence Muskie 9 5 09 Cruizin & Run

April 2nd, 2010


Lake Independence Muskie 9 5 09 Cruizin & Run – I was fishing for bass in the shallows & ran across this guy sunning himself. I had no leader & just my 7′ bass rod & a jointed no-name firetiger knockoff. I threw it by him one time and he hit it and came out of the water! But of course, I didn’t hook him good & he tossed it & calmed right down again! I watched him & tossed a couple lures for 10 mins. Then I shot this video.

Great Places For Walleye Fishing

Walleye are one of the most popular types of fresh water fish, although, they might not be the most exciting to catch. They are definitely not known for their fighting ability, however, bigger walleye can put up a decent fight. Walleye aren’t going to take the long runs that northern pike will and they aren’t going to leap out of the water like smallmouth and largemouth bass. Most of the time, you will be fishing for walleye by vertical jigging or trolling, which most anglers agree that vertical jigging and trolling could be quite boring at times. With all of the negatives that I just mentioned, walleye are still so popular and they always will be. Most anglers enjoy eating fish and walleye are one of the best fresh water fish for the table and they are so easy to fillet.

I personally don’t enjoy fishing for walleye nearly as much as largemouth bass, smallmouth bass or northern pike, but man do I love eating walleye. Walleye, unlike bass, are accepted among the fishing community as fish to eat. So, you don’t have to feel bad about keeping a limit or walleye. Actually, you should feel quite good about catching a limit of walleye. Your stomach will be thank you, although you might need to do some cardio after a big fish fry.

If you are ready to start putting some of these fish in the boat, take a look at some of the popular vacation destinations for catching walleye.

Lake of the Woods – Minnesota and Canada – This lake is loaded with walleye and you can catch pike, smallmouth bass and muskie as well.

Lake Erie – This lake is arguably the best lake in the world for walleye fishing. On a charter, you can catch tons of walleye. Check out Port Clinton, Ohio for some of the best walleye fishing on Lake Erie.

Detroit RiverWalleye travel from Lake Erie into the Detroit River to spawn. Many tournaments are held here early in the year. If you fish during the spawn, it will be cold, but the Detroit River might give you the best chances of anywhere to catch a 10 pound walleye.

Lake Vermilion, MN – Tons of walleye. They are everywhere in this lake and you can also catch some nice northern pike.

Muskie Center

Bacterial Vaginosis is the most common vaginal infection of American women. Also known as Gardnerella-associated Vaginitis or just Vaginitis, the condition results from an overgrowth of bacteria in the vagina.

If you have Bacterial Vaginosis, you might notice signs like discharge, odor, itching, burning or pain. Women suffering from Bacterial Vaginosis often notice a strong fishy or unpleasant musky odor particularly after sexual intercourse. Additionally, you may notice more discharge than normal, and the discharge can be thin and of a white or gray color. Many women with the infection feel itching or irritation. However, some women don’t have any signs of Bacterial Vaginosis at all. In fact, experts say that more than 50 percent of women with Bacterial Vaginosis have no symptoms at all.

Though Bacterial Vaginosis is listed as a sexually transmitted disease by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the disease is considered a mild infection and the actual cause of the disease is not known. Though you can’t catch it from someone, women who have not had sex are rarely affected by Bacterial Vaginosis. However, women with multiple sex partners or are currently with a new sex partner are more likely to develop the infection.

To understand how Bacterial Vaginosis might occur, one needs to understand how the natural flora function in the vagina. In the vagina, there is a greater balance of what’s considered to be good bacteria. These bacteria are of the same type that you might eat in yogurt—lactobacilli. Also present are the bad bacteria, but the good bacteria keep them in balance. When Bacterial Vaginosis occurs, the balance of power shifts toward the bad bacteria as they overtake the natural good bacteria flora.

If you think you have Bacterial Vaginosis, you must seek treatment from your doctor. If the infection is left untreated, it can spread up into the uterus or fallopian tubes and cause a more serious infection. For pregnant women, treatment is especially important because the infection can travel up into the uterus.

Diagnosis is made by your doctor by both physical exam and laboratory test. On the physical exam, the doctor can observe the irritation and discharge as well as smell the odor. The laboratory test will determine the presence of the bad bacteria, Gardnerella, and the lack of lactobacilli, the good bacteria.

Treatment includes an antibiotic regimen taken either orally or vaginally and may include Ampicillin, Ceftriaxone, Clindamycin, Tetracycline or Metronidazole.

The Muskie Hunters

February 15th, 2010

muskie hunter

Most anglers think big when hunting lunker muskie, but if you want to catch more muskie think smaller baits and tackle. I caught my biggest muskie while fishing walleye with a plastic worm in September. More often than can be coincidental people catch a muskie while fishing other species. Most anglers look to heavy tackle, large baits and trolling as the way to catch muskies. Personally I become bored or just tired of trolling all the time.

Now one of my most successful tactics used especially in the fall is used for fishing large walleye and at the same time muskies. I use medium size tackle and large walleye baits especially jigs. Fishing weed lines, drop offs and shoals as you would for walleyes will also attract as many muskies as walleyes. The first time I realised this I did have some success for large walleyes and had just caught and released a nice 7 pounder that was followed to the boat by a large muskie.

The only change I made was to make sure I was using wire leads and good stong swivels. Using 6 inch plastics worked just fine and the result was a fun great day of fishing. In all the two of us caught and released 9 walleyes from 5 to 8 pounds plus 5 muskies all in the 15 to 20 pound range. Although not the lunker; that most muskie hunters look for. But it proved to me that the muskie can be caught on lighter tackle and smaller baits.

Conventional thinking tells us that in the fall; the remaining muskie, are large, therefore bigger is better. However, my experience is that smaller baits are often the perfect morsel for that elusive muskie.
Equipment And Presentation

When I say smaller baits I am referring to large or oversized walleyes jigs. As mentioned this approach evolved on a body of water with a large population of large walleye. Now using the idea that big baits means big fish or walleye. I began tossing 5 to 6 inch plastic shad-bodied jigs along weed lines. I landed a number of big walleye, but to my surprise, the muskie were also going for the same bait. The big plastic jigs became an important part of my muskie fishing arsenal. All large plastics work just fine.

Colour seems less important than creating a real flash. Two-toned baits, mainly dark and light combinations, create more flash when drawn through the water. Adding some metal flake also ads that extra flash. Just experiment and you will find a combination that will work for you and get that strike you want.

Generally I use ball-head or stand-up-head jigs with medium gauge wire hooks. It’s surprising how well a single hook can handle even a large muskie. Often you will hook the fish in the gristly flesh in the corner of the mouth. Jigs also make landing and releasing muskie easier; there are then no large treble hooks flopping around to damage the fish or you. Deeply hooked fish can be released by clipping off the hook with pliers.

Single strand wire leaders seem to work best especially along weed beds. I use a hay-wire- twist to attach the wire to the jig head at one end and a small swivel at the other. Watch for kinks in the wire, but these leaders are more weedless than the standard models because of the snaps and swivels.

I prefer a medium action 6-foot spinning rod and a reel spooled with 12 to 14 pound test monofilament. A medium-heavy bait-casting outfit also does the trick, in both cases make sure the drag is working properly.

Even if you prefer the conventional approach, keep a lighter outfit close at hand for when muskie follow, but don’t hit, or they strike short. Using lighter tackle and a jig is also a good approach when there are two of you fishing muskie. One angler throws conventioinal baits, and the other throwing jigs. Then you are always ready to react to follows and misses.

Vary the speed of your retrieve when jigging up muskie. I have had luck in late fall, by using violent rip-jigging motion. It’s tiring, but effective. Experiment and you will find something that works for you.

When battling a muskie on light tackle, be careful not to fight it to exhaustion, thereby increasing the chance of delayed death if you plan on catch and release. Ideally, you should release a fish by simply grasping the single hook with a pair of needle nosed pliers, while it’s in the water at the side of the boat. Cut off the hook if the fish is hooked deeply. Muskie fisheries are a fragile resource, so do your best to release that muskie no worse for wear. Now next season that muskie will be ready to fight another day and make that day a great day for another angler.
