Muskie
If you're after Muskie in the Sheboygan area, be prepared for a challenge! Lake Michigan and the larger rivers flowing into it hold these elusive giants. Muskie fishing peaks in the fall when water temperatures cool. They are drawn to areas where baitfish congregate, so focus on structure like weed beds, rock piles, and channel edges. A local's secret is to pay attention to the wind; Muskie often position themselves on the downwind side of structures. The DNR boat launch on the Sheboygan River provides good access to the lake. Given the clear waters of Lake Michigan, natural-looking lure presentations can be effective. Be sure to vary your retrieve and use figure-eights at the end of your casts, as Muskie often follow lures right to the boat.
