Michigan Muskie Alliance

Last week My family and I were at the Tahquamenon lower falls. We were walking down to rent a boat to go to island and walked by the Know the difference sign. I thought thats cool, but is that needed here? 20 minutes later I am pulling the row boat up to the island to see a young boy around 13 years...

A buddy of mine has some original wood Magic Makers from the Mainia era that he is trying to sell. These are all un painted, weighted and sealed blanks that only need painting and clear coat. I dont know what the interest is in these but wanted to see if there was a demand for them before I bought t...

A friend of mine from work called me yesterday from Brevort lake to let me know that while he was walleye fishing he caught a 54" muskie on a bass sized shad rap on 8# line! Now most of these accidental catch stories dont have a happy ending for the fish, but this fish was released! I found it very ...

I will be helping out at the Phantom Lures booth on saturday, so stop in and say hi. Would like to meet some of the members. You will also want to check out some of the lures Phantom is doing for the show season. I have seen some of them and they are really cool! Hope to see ya,

Yes it was, but the crabbing boats did not have the BUGS! Next year I will have yellow rubber rain gear for my passengers.LOL!
Tom

Superhawk or the Lund, not the Fishhawk.Ask Todd F. how he liked my Fishhawk on LSC. lol !
Tom

Wow! That fish could eat most of the fish I caught this year! LOL! How much did that weigh?
Tom

There are a few large pike, have caught less pike lately. There are bass in there, very rarely do I catch them with muskie gear though.
Tom

Thanks for the info. I hope to get up there next week. We usually fish Taylor road area, but I have been hearing south branch has a ton of fish.
Tom

Yes, all of the line will spin on the spool under tension.
Tom

You need some mono underneath, otherwise the super line will slip on the spool.The supers' dont grab the bare spool like mono does.
Tom

OK. Lets over analyze this. With the Mustads that I have, if I dont use a split ring I can cut off the brazed on hook point and it will work perfectly(no twisting or bending). Am I going to lose more fish without a split ring? I've seen videos saying to cut off hooks and replace hooks with split rin...

What is your oppinion on the double hooks on the Lokes? I am thinking of trying these on my baits to save on the hook wear and tear on the bodies . Do they hook and hold as good as a treble ?Do you think all trolling bait hooks should be on split rings ? I see a lot of good baits out there not using...

You better be sure this idea will sell before you spend $6000.00 on getting a patent.I checked into this before,and decided it was too much money for me,especially for low volumn muskie market.I was told by Jake Satonica of Grandma that patents were a waste of money,because someone just needs to mak...

I was very surprised to see Murray was still 81 degrees last night.I thought it would of been cooler.Time to go salmon fishin'.
