Here's another problem- a friend lost his fishing license and musky tag. Went to license dealer and they told him he cannot have his license reprinted, even for a reduced fee. He will have to purchase a new license for full cost. BUT- they said they can just print him another, duplicate musky tag. !...

Just to second what the boys have said already- definitely go longer (foot or so) and twist or bend off the tag end because it gets much closer and cleaner/snagless than nipping it off.

Oops I totally blanked on the spearing bans for those lakes... sorry! The Austin experience has me quite twitchy. But in that case I'm all for the season change!

Whoa - good catch Ryan. That Kzoo meeting just got a whole lot more important for anyone who thinks there may, or may not be an excess of legal size muskies in Bankson and Round.

The report from the Chicagon habitat project was it was a good success! About 20 volunteers showed up in -25 F to start off. They made and placed 23 "tic tac toe" shaped structures measuring 24' x 24' which are weighed down with small rocks and cobble which fill the squares and are held in welded wi...

Conversation & Coffee with DNR Fisheries, March-April

Nothing muskie-specific headlining these events, but good opportunity to have your voice heard and get your questions answered. Valid concerns and questions should be voiced early, often, repeatedly!!

"put my hands on as many as I can" is the best idea- both pre-purchase, but also/especially in the boat, on the water. I've found that it's more important to have different reels to be able to switch up grips with during the course of grueling days, even more than having one style of the comfiest ha...

Michigan Out of Doors TV

Anybody catch MOOD TV this week, in the end segment "Viewer Bragging Board" ? In the midst of 50 hundred deer pics, one was titled "Big pike" with a youngster holding a snow covered, but obvious musky... Appeared to be harvested (?), and was of course well undersized... :roll: I sent a friendly emai...
