Larry,

There are Tiger Muskie here in Ma shich are a hybrid of a Northern Pike and a Muskellunge. Thy were stocked on at least three occasions thorughout the state. I used to fish for them and they are very togh to catch...I have caught 6 over literally close to a hundred days of trying.

I like you, was once bitten by the bug to catch a "real" musky on a plug. It is uncanny how similar high end Musky plugs are to high end Striper Plugs. Musky Plugs even go for more money. I took a charter on the St LAwrence over 15 years ago. The guide was honest about Musky fishgin. We had one take on a trolled plug and that was all. The guide called int an average day. Multiple fish days are rare. One fish days are very good. I know the fishery ahd both declined and then rebounded but it has been a few years since I have paid much attention. Look for a high liner guide if you are going to plan a one day thing. I think I remember the honest guide we found telling us it would be normal to expect one fish in three days of charters.

Good Luck
