What is a good trolling speed for muskie
 
I have had most luck 2.5-3 MPH. . I used to till 4-5 then realized was catching majority of fish when slowing to turn so adjusted speed and made a difference
 
Cooler temps I start slow things down , 4-5 mph summer speed for me , we are down to 2.7-3.7 now but will get slow as water temps go down , we slow it right down to 1.5-2.5 when water temps get near freezing point , hope this help a little !...............................apps
 
Ya was at the Thames yesterday for 6 hours ran 3.5 to 4 mph. Never got a bit lots of boats and never seen anything caught. Water was pretty muddy lots of boats at the mouth.
 
Was at the Thames for the weekend landed 3 Muskie. 2 Friday 1 Saturday nothing Sunday. Lots of boats sunday
 
We trolled up to the mouth of the Thames on Saturday and counted 15 boats at the mouth. We left to resume casting, I couldn't see the point of fighting the traffic. We boated 1 first thing in the morning.
 
hobie10, I posted this earlier but here it is again! I use photobucket. Get the picture from your phone or camera onto your computer and then upload it to photobucket. If you've never used photobucket you'll have to create an account. Once its uploaded on photobucket click on the photo and it will enlarge and there will be four share links on the side (email & IM, direct, HTML, IMG). If you click IMG it will flash yellow and say copied. Go back to your thread you've created on Stomp's choose your spot where you want the pic to show up in your thread, right click and paste. There will be a long line of funny lettering but that's your pic. If you preview your thread you'll see the picture. Hope this helps hobie10! Let's see some skies!
