Mississippi Muskies Around Brainerd

[Musky_Madness]

My uncle and I are going to target some muskies on the 'Sippi around Brainerd on Thursday. Anyone have any tips for the river? I have never fished the river for muskies before. Any general suggestions/tips/general locations would be helpful.

Thanks In Advance

fish eddies. it's your best chance and the easiest hangouts to find, well except maybe feeder creeks AND eddies combined.

if it looks good-fish it.

see you out there.

Cool! We'll be in a black 1850 Crestliner (the one with the 2 guys holding 50" fish)

haha, 2 guys? same time? that'd be a heck of a double. Better hope someone comes by with an extra net.

Have you decided where you're launching from yet?

ppppfffppt, a 50'' out of a river? yer dreamin' pal. nothing but stunted, little tiny, skinny. malnourished, juviniles in river. better off going for sunfish. better fight than any wimpy muskie in river.

MM - Why go way up to Brainerd? Right at home man!

What bigfish said is very true though, I just throw the big baits to get big smallmouth.

I'm going to see my uncle that lives in Brainerd. I'll spend some time with my cousin and take him musky fishing for the first time tomorrow probably on Lake Alexander or head up to Lake Wabedo/Little Boy.
