Message from the owner of Musky Shop for our friends and customers!

As we reflect back on all of the things we are thankful for this year, nothing comes to mind more than our loyal customers and friends.

If you are new to ice fishing and are planning to get your start this season, here are some tips for first timers to ensure that you find success!

As we slide into mid December, erratic weather patterns have really made the early ice fisherman's season precarious at best.

There are a few of the lakes that are still open here in the Northwoods of WI. Water temps on the lakes with open water are 33-35 degrees.

Take a look at this weeks video with discussions on trolling rods, reels, baits, tactics, and map work to help you find the magic depth, speed, and patterns to put some muskies in your net when you troll.

If you're brave enough to continue fishing in chilly temps, then this is the report for you.  Late November has taken the swing into the much colder temperatures of fall.

This week Musky Shop introduces new anglers to the competitive market of all things musky.

The transition from Summer to Fall can be a confusing time in Musky Fishing especially in colder climates where the transition is quite dramatic. When the fall transition is taking place in the air and landscape around you, imagine the same is taking place subsurface.

Here's a quick how to video to help you better understand working with suckers and arranging your quick strike rigs to help you find success.

Mepps are the gold standard for bucktails as they have a guaranteed to start blade cup which is great for new or inexperienced anglers on the water.

Targeting night muskies might just be the ticket this Fall when you want to feel like your miles away from the crowd.

On this weeks episode, finding pelagic bait fish in post frontal conditions leaves the boys with no other option other than hitting all levels of potential targets.  Fishing in groups means that all rods on the boat need to be throwing something that reaches these bait clouds at a different angle or depth.

This week, multiple lake reports will have you lined up on your targets, no matter the species.

There is no question that big rubber baits put muskies in the net.

With the help of the Musky Shop Shield Rod and Red October Tubes, Steve lands a 52" fish on this weeks episode. As always, Musky Shop TV provides you with all of the tactics and tricks to boat monster muskies wherever you are.

Learn the best tactics for handling and helping with conservation in the sport of musky fishing.
