Muskie

Muskie anglers, take note: Green Bay is a world-class destination for pursuing these apex predators. The bay's vast expanse and diverse structure create ideal muskie habitat. The peak season is typically from late summer through fall, as the water cools and muskies become more active. Focus on areas with weed beds, rocky reefs, and drop-offs. Trolling large crankbaits and bucktails is a popular and effective technique. Many anglers also cast large lures around structure. The west shore of Green Bay, particularly near the islands, is known for its muskie fishing. Be prepared for long days on the water, as muskie fishing requires patience and persistence. A local tip: Consider hiring a local guide who knows the waters well. They can provide valuable insights into current conditions and productive areas. Green Bay muskies are known for their size and aggression, so be sure to use heavy tackle and a sturdy net.
