Toothy Critter Problem on the Red!

[Guest]

Hear is the deal Eh.
There are a few monster muskie lurking in the Red River, not many but a few big critters, but they just tick me off, one fish in particular.

Recently a particular toothy critter (A real home body fish) has refused to chomp any muskie plugs that I toss at her, especially if I am geared up for it with a titanium leader, appropriate rod, the whole darn spiel.

But if I go back to my lighter walleye gear she shows up and munches my Rap's, she then snickers and quickly spoils my day. She is getting on my nerves Yup-Yup-A-huh, she is messing with me just for fun I swear!

Question is what would be a good game plan to spoil her game plan? I just wish to land her and show her who is boss (so far she is Boss), then let her start over messing with another angler.

Any help would be great, Thank's.

Eddy,

Try small baits with your muskie gear. I highly recommend a small reef hawg for her. Another option for fussy fish is a sluggo.

......try a 'fine' stranded, wire leader...not those heavy duty, single wire, types...it can be attached directly to the 'rap'.....also - black suick with silver sides(metallic tape).......

You better let me know where she is, so I can come help you out! I live 30 minutes from the Red.

I wander if backwater eddy ever caught her.

if you get real desperate, a sucker minnow would do the trick

lol 8 year old thread?

It appears we have a necromancer.

If it were the old days a .44 mag would do the trick. I'd try her at night, I know water clarity could be an issue but if she is always lurking in the same area.........
