To those experience Muskie fishermen I am looking to do a camping trip on Oct 1st at pyma to give my self a chance at the beasts. I do have the gear as in pole, line, and lures. Want to know where to go in pyma and how deep and in october what colors are good or dose it matter. I am using six inch repala stick baits. I want to give my self a chance to get one muskie small or big so I don't want to go to big. I do understand at that time of year you want BIG bait for them to get themselves fat for winter but I have never caught one so I will take what ever size I can. I will be using a kayak to troll with and when not trolling I will be casting to the banks of shore and fish the bottom with chicken live for some cats. I know the work you have to put into muskie but want to give my self a chance to caught other things also. I am going to start out Saturday and fish all through the night into Sunday morning.

Maybe try Woodcock lake. 

Nightfishing from a kayak in October sounds more difficult than catching a musky to me.

Its not difficult at all as long as you have the right gear. Alot more people than you know do the whole kayak fishing and kayak night fishing.

And why woodcock compared to pyma? I do not know much about woodcock

It's a smaller lake, also known as a "numbers" lake. Might give you a better shot. Pyma has not been giving up her muskies much this year.

The water will be coller then so thats a good thing. I Trolled for over 25 miles this past saterday and i did not get any musky. Times are hard right now. So i wish u luck.

Not trying to be a **** or anything but this whole "kayak fishing at night" on pyma sounds very very dangerous...I wish you luck and hope you make it back to post pics...be careful out there

I'm with snag on this one......You ever been out there when that lake kicks up!!!!!!!
I sure as H....E....L....L.... don't want to be in a yak yak!!!!!!!

I kayak at night for muskies but wouldn't do it in daylight in strong wind. I suggest larger loud lures. Six " Rapalas will make you more likely to catch walleyes which I'll never complain about but fall is a great time to think big. The easiest way to catch a muskie is no breaks and forget about other species.
Pymie traffic at night may make you consider a battery powered light on a pole mounted to the back. Scotty makes one. You are legal with a flashlight or headlamp in PA (not sure about Ohio) flashed at a boat to indicate you are unpowered. I'll bet Buck knows this but I'm just cutting others off at the chase.
