what part of the river are you on niagara right im familiar from black creek up to about central ave only get to fish the muskiies once in a while thier what time of year thanks for the tip if you can

[jimkinner]

We usually hit the water off Harry's Harbor place, and drift down a mile or so from there. I think we filmed this in June or July. It's been a couple years, and a lot of dives since. Good luck out there!

Sabbath's "Zero the Hero" has been replaced via audio swap by "110 years" done fittingly enough, by "Underbiz"

Not really, some are agressive, some scoot, some are curious, and others indifferent. You learn to read their body language, like you would a dog or cat.

Thanks guys- This was filmed in the Niagara prior to The system being hit by the VHS virus. A pack of muskies, like the one shown, is a rare treat to stumble on. Pairs are fairly common.

Aggressive, or defensive fish will arch their back, and the peck and anal fins will be turned at a 45 deg. angle. Some were at ease with us, and some were uncomfortable.

Approaching Walleye and musky is a learning game.

Great video quality compared to the Aqua-Vu I'm using. What kind of camera did you use?

[jimkinner]

It's a sony digital handicam in an Ikelite housing.

first i was talking about the 100 lb leader flurocarbone and when fising musky you have to release really fast.

I do know a to fish buddy! i'm no sayong that you cant catch a musky on 30 pound line, but the best is to real the fish on with big line

[cchanderson]

Small muskies lol you need better Glasses...they weren't records but they def weren't "small"...the one at the end is 2 /3 of a humans length which is a better than 40 in which is a nice muskie.

[andrewh4]
