From the Back Cover

Discover the pros secrets for catching more and bigger muskies.

 

They don’t call it the Fish of Ten Thousand Casts for nothing. The challenge of catching muskie is not only finding them, but also figuring out their attitude and what presentation might work—today. To find success tomorrow, you’ll probably need a different location, attitude, and lure. 

Pro muskie “hunters” Jack Burns and Rob Kimm share their own experience as well as that of the many other muskie anglers with whom they’ve worked and fished over the years. They cover the basic biology of muskies and how you can use that knowledge to catch more and bigger fish. They discuss fishing tackle, release techniques, reacting to follows, doing figure eights, triggering strikes, and much more.

In this expertly written book you’ll find examples of on-the-water tactics and strategies covering a wide range of situations. More important, you’ll develop an understanding of the why behind a particular strategy and how to adapt to different water and weather conditions throughout the year. The result is a complete, up-to-date course on muskie fishing for the beginning to intermediate angler.

Solid Intoduction to the Sport of Muskie Fishing4
Pro Tactics 'Muskie' provides a solid introduction to the sport of muskellunge fishing. It is written in a simple, easy to understand style that is great for beginners but a bit too basic for more advanced anglers. There is some nice background on the species, equipment, tactics, and seasonal factors that influence the sport. If you are thinking about trying the sport, this book is a nice read and definitely recommended prior to investing hundreds of dollars in muskie rods, lures, and accessories.
