[QUOTE="GSM, post: 39453, member: 852"] Looking for any hints or tips for chasing muskie. Never fished for them before, but am going to give it a try. Is the concept similar to chasing pike? My plan is to pitch the big baits along weed edges, rock piles, points, etc. Any certain baits work better any time of year? Certain time of year / time of day better for them? I live in Fargo so planning on starting the quest in Detroit Lakes. How heavy of line should be spooled? How long and heavy of leader do you use? [/QUOTE]
