A worthy read, good info., let’s help and preserve…

⚠️‼️ WARNING ‼️⚠️
With rising air temperatures, this also leads to warmer waters. Anytime water temperatures reach the high 70s and beyond, it creates significantly more stress on muskies and can impact successful release. We urge you to use caution when choosing to be out fishing during times like these.

If you do choose to muskie fish during these conditions, please take extra precautions:
🌡️Try to avoid the heat of the day when water temperatures are at their peak.
💧Keep muskies in the water and avoid removing them from the net.
🐟 Unhook fish as quickly as possible and simply lower the net for a proper release.
📸 If a photo is taken, please keep it as quick as possible. A quick in-water photo or a photo with the fish partially supported in the net is preferred during these warmer conditions. The goal is to minimize the amount of time a muskie is out of the water.
🪝Pinching hook barbs down or using barbless hooks can make hook removal faster and easier.
🥵 Avoid overworking fish during the battle—get them to the net as quickly as possible. Exhausting a muskie adds unnecessary stress and can reduce its chances of survival.

Thank you for helping protect these fish during challenging conditions. Waiting until water temperatures return to safer levels helps ensure healthy fisheries and more opportunities to enjoy these incredible fish in the future.

📧 Keep an eye out for emails regarding future outing updates and/or cancelations.

Musky Monday Minute: Wow…that was one toasty 💥🔥🇺🇸 of a holiday start to July. This weeks upper 60’s to mid 80’s may seem like a 😎🥶 comparatively.

🤷🏻‍♂️ So now what? Well, #1, please, check water temp on bodies of water you’re possibly going to fish and maybe give yourself and the fish a siesta. #2, if below 80 but in mid to upper 70’s then 🎯Deep W**d Edges and Breaks…with 8/9, 9/10, Bucktails, Rubber, and Cranks. #3 Maybe put your Bass gear and game to a multi-species test. #4 Plan & Prep up, gear up, for you August thru October trips! 🤔

❤️‍🩹 Very important to have net and tools ready to handle fish properly and release quickly…always, but especially when water temps reach and exceed 80.

On we go, Anglers…be safe out there!
