Michigan Muskie Alliance

Howdy, great to have another musky angler on board. Here's one added bonus for you- you will start catching some of the biggest bass of your life on musky gear! Good bass anglers have a leg up on the musky curve

Hey Tom- glad you are back on track and good to hear from you again!

3 days left you make your voice heard!!! If you know anyone remotely interested that hasn't commented PLEASE get them on board, or help them do it, or whatever! Preliminary results/polling of certain individuals have stated that the public comments may be the final push that swings certain regulatio...

Thanks guys, and Joe you are absolutely right- we probably would have camped out hoping for one of those miraculous treble hook upchucks, but unfortunately the bait was weighted a touch, and didn't float. With more optimism for her survival, I could appreciate one of the most awesome strikes I have ...

I thought I would never have a story like this to tell, but hopefully others can learn from my hard lesson. Casting a Shallow Invader over weed tops, the fish charged from 11:00 angle behind my lure. 15 feet behind the bait it started pushing a bow wave, coming like a freight train so fast that I co...

Grayling meeting report: A small but interesting collection of anglers showed up. 6 attendees total- 3 who only had brook trout interest, 2 were hook&line muskie/pike in favor of regulation changes, and 1 muskie/pike guy who only spears and was opposed to any regulation changes. The DNR staff really...

Hey Jim how goes it- If a CO thought they had a chance at catching somebody red-handed, I'm sure they would respond to a RAP line call at night. They would need to know when the guys were going to be out there. They probably aren't going to add a night time shift to their regular routine just hoping...

I attended the Newberry show last night, with very positive reviews. About 20 people showed up, most for brook trout but a lot of good pike discussion ensued as well. Muskies roused only a little interest, which was somewhat surprising. But the locals there are very well versed in muskies, so I thin...

Ovid is still weedy, but somewhat less than it used to be. It gets 2 major crops of weeds each year- first the curly leaf pondweed, which lasts until mid-June or so until it virtually completely dies out. Then the eurasian milfoil replaces it in all the same places, plus more. Both types will all bu...

I just gotta say what a pleasure it is to have the IQ level represented in this group. Great discussion, and all good food for thought. Suffice it to say, you don't get stuff like this from the weirdeye guys for instance. Thanks for always making this forum interesting for me!

wow - ZERO days notice for the Lansing meeting!!! That was not so smooth. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess they had a low turnout last night... I would hope they can reschedule another in the area

Today's show enjoyed a very low student to teacher ratio, no fighting for elbow room. That's poistive spin. It was nice talkin some shop and dreamin about muskies. I liked having Michigan Muskie Shop there so there was more stuff than just the bait makers

What? PIZZA!!? Where? Oh yeah!

opportunity for you west siders: "I have 15+ rods and 10+ reels... all muskie stuff. I also have 1,000s of lures... anything you could possibly need when it comes to muskie fishing, I've got it! Whatever you're looking for, i can probably fill your need!!" http://grandrapids.craigslist.org/spo/26370...
