Scugog River - Lindsay

[suckmywake]

Hello all, i am a fleming student, going for MNR officer. i love to fish, and the river near is scugog. Does any one know what the muskie will be biting on their, this time of year. i picked 2 up already, spinner and mouse. Lost a 15 lber on my light rod, 6lb test. jiggin for eyes grabbed a rock bass and the musky took the rock bass. good fight for about 10 minutes then just spit the hook. likely didnt even have it hooked. sorry about the ramble lol. but any help would be greatly appriecated, please and thank you!!

I've never tried this, but apparently sticking a big old mass of dew worms on a hook and reeling really fast has proven successful. My buddy caught a 42 incher one time doing that. Anyway, ya just never know what they will take.8D

My old man fishes muskie a ton and he uses body baits. Try a rapala x-rap or any of the other bigger body baits they should work well, also those huge mister twister style plastics seem to work pretty well off the lighthouse at the Thames River. Good Luck
