Musky Fishing

I was hoping that some of you guys may be able to help me in learning the art of Musky fishing. I have been fishing my entire life but just recently caught the Musky bug on a recent fishing trip to Kentucky with Crash Mullins guide service and was hoping to expand my range to my home waters and local fisherman. Thanks for any advice you can give. And if your willing to teach i'm willing to learn.

 Hottest news I just read a min. ago,,,,.. In 1801, the Reverend W.B.Daniel, in his book RURAL SPORTS, suggested readers fish for PIKKE BY USING a minnow

and let the goose haul the pike into the bank! The Reverend Daniel noted, "The goose usually won."

Not looking for any spots H20wolf, i understand and respect why people wouldn't post any of their honey holes as i have a few myself for other species. What i am looking for is someone willing to teach me the sport, someone who would be willing to take me out on the water. I do not have a boat and would be willing to help pay whatever expenses. I also am looking for the best gear to use etc.. Thanks again for your help the sites were excellent.

The best thing i can say is pick one body of water and learn it well.Every year i try to learn a new body of water.Also pick 2 or 3 lures and learn them well .If you are into casting I would pick lures like a bucktail,black with crome blade is a classic.a leo jerk bait.The size depends on the body of water your.I throw basic colors like firetiger,black sucker,andwalleye.trolling you cant beat Wileys,tuffshads,and Feris pikies. Hope this  helps  Mike

Anybody ever heard anything about Loyallhanna Lake for Musky ???

thanks plnoldrik i heard  that of Tamarack as well. May have to get out and try that. Also i hear somerset lake has some decent Musky in it.

Ive heard of some monsters in somerset lake.  Also heard a story from my dad that one of his friends had there puddle swimming in the lake and a muskie decided to eat it...  A few times fishing Donegal lake i have had some big followers while bass fishing.  Also Yough lake and river both have a few monsters in them.  I have had a few hook ups in both.  I fish the lake every weekend in the spring summer and fall untill its empty and every year i miss a big one.  Still have yet to get a big monster into the boat.  But they are around.  Also alot of big pike in yough lake.  I got a 43 in one last year.  There's also a little lake called indian lake thats eletric only that my friends have caought them in....not a very big lake but they do well.  Also High Point lake used to be really good.  Last few times up there tho i didnt do so well.  another lake that looks very promising but hasent produced andything huge for us yet is Quemahoning Reservoir.    Very nice lake...very big and it is eletric only.  no gas motors allowed on the boat at all from what the locals have yealled at me about. Lots of places for shore fishing tho.  If you want any tips on any of these lake just ask and ill tyr to point you to some of my favorite spots.
