	I don't do any bow fishing but I do go musky fishing as often as I can. I have my best luck with #5 Bucktail Meps with a silver spinner. I have a lot of the big musky lures but have had better luck with the bucktails. Went out musky fishing last Thursday evening and between my brother in law and me we caught 16 the biggest was only about 8 lbs. They were very aggressive Riley PJH Racing Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

There's a drop box there....can't miss it. As far as catching muskies from shore, they're hard enough to catch out of a boat is all i'll say.
