My first post! Will be visiting the Twin City area for a few days in middle of December(business). Any suggestions on MUST see or visit items in an ESOX area of interest. I am sure there must be a wealth of sites and TACKLE shops in the area that would interest a Muskie addict from Southern Ontario area. I won't have a lot of "free" time so I will have to prioritize. Thanks for the help!!
I LOVE THIS BOARD. I APPRECIATE ALL THOSE WHO SHARE INFORMATION AND SHARE MY PASSION FOR THE "KING OF FRESHWATER"

Pitts,
It changes from day to day, but the ol' reliable jig/minni rig always works. Yesterday, it was jig and plastic....purple/if you can believe it! Shad bodies(silver) are good, the Neon Power baits are in demand(sometimes). The only thing I have found that they don't really want right now is crawlers, I have had no luck on them for the last week or so. Hair, in the dark colors w/silver work well (sometimes). Bring the whole box!!!!
Good Luck, and Good Fishin'
