Default Need muskie fishing advice.

I can use some muskie fishing advice on rod and lure choices. Will be heading to the Delaware Water Gap around Worthington State Park and could use some help on choosing fish holding locations. Anyone familiar with this area? Thanks and I appreciate the help. You guys are the best!

I recommend that you fish the weed edges. The muskies will hide in the weeds and ambush their quarries. They like to chase fast moving lures so use a high ratio reel and don't be bashful ripping the lure through the water. If you get a follower but not a taker do figure 8s at the boat and be ready for an attack. Muskies are very territorial, so you have two ways to fish for muskies. 1) Rip a bait lure like a tandem bucktail meps or a big spinner bait. I personally prefer the size 2 tandem bucktail meps. 2) Rip a big green noisy surface lure like a Woodchopper or an Amazon Ripper to immitate another muskie invading its territory.. You may have to teach yourself how to rip a big lure like a woodchopper by holding your rod low and sweeping it back and slightly sideways. Do it over and over and make lots of noise and splash. Drives muskies nuts. Their attack will be ferocious. The problem will be getting all the darn big hooks out. Consider crimping the barbs and going barbless. But that's what you hire a guide to do! I never touched a muskie on Lake of the Woods or Grey Rocks except during the photos!!

sorry have not fished there, but with water temps in the summer, they will be holding up in the deep weeds, so I would go with a large chartreuse rattletrap fished quickly, keep a close watch for any follows back to the boat and be ready to dip the rod tip to do figure 8's.....
