Where can I fish for Muskie?

Im tryig to catch something like muskie or pike but when i fish the river i never even get a bite i fish from the banks and use lures but idk why i never catch anything help?

• Answer:

  it can all depend on a number of things- how big the lure is, the lures colour how deep the lure is running where the fish are the season and the weather. first you want an overcast day and a warm south westerly breese, say your going for a pike/musky around 15-20lbs, i would use a lure about 4-6 inches preferably a jerkbait or hardlure with a diveplain on the front (the shallower angle the plain is the deeper the lure dives and vise-versa) in winter lures must run deep and very solwly and in summer the lure can be worked abit faster and at varying depth. in coloured water use a bright lure e.g. orange, green or yellow, in clear water use a lure with added detail on it and in bright conditions use a reflective lure. also try to match the lure to what the pike mostly eat it wont be as good fishing a perch lure if the pike rarly eat them and go for roach instead. if your still stuck invest in a DVD of book focusing on this subject (the fox guide to lure fishing(DVD) is an exelent choice)
