Put a few more muskies in , bait eating machines that live a long time.

Sounds like they need to stock some wipers.

Do what the game commission did for the Pheasants. Close the season on wipers for 10 years to let them populate. 

 
SMS: FYI: Wipers are stertile as all hybrids are. Thats why they can be a good experimental species to stock. If they do not produce the desired outcome, they will eventaully just die off.

Thank you, I didn't know that.

Your welcome

Excellent point JEB . At times I don't write/ mention the obvious , thinking that " everybody knows that " . I should have written that most times introducing a foreign species doesn't work because ... and then should have continued with wipers and hybrids . Another good reason why writers should critically proof read their composition ! Thanks for the clarification !  

Have seen millions of these fish die .. year after year @ pymie.. Usually after first ice..Was there 1 year with about 1 inch of black ice.. they were still dying under the clear ice.. flopping and twitching to death.. Yet they come back year after year.. Maybe once establised always established..

Muskies eat very few Shad. They prefer Carp and Suckers over most other species. These babies love Shad and lots of them!

Cpt. You had to do that didn't you? It's not even cold out, but your picture has given me cabin fever!

Nothing like seeing those spikey dorsal fins break the surface, before making that final of 5 or so drag testing runs... If only the state decided to make it the new "trout", I'd gladly pay for a wiper stamp.

Yep got me thinking spring too and I'll second making them the new trout, stamp and all. Just wish there was more places with them.

Muskies in lakes will target the larger schools of bait fish .Chautauqua = perch no doubt. River systems suckers bass ect..
