How do I fish for muskellunge?

Muskellunge are large freshwater predators that hunt big bait. Cast or troll oversized lures (8-12 inch jerkbaits, large bucktails, big rubber baits) along weed edges, drop-offs, and rocky structure. Heavy bait-casting tackle with fluorocarbon or wire leaders is standard. Most musky anglers consider 1 fish per 8-10 hours of fishing a good result — they're called the fish of 10,000 casts for a reason.
