Dick Sternberg (Author)

Book Description

Series: The Freshwater Angler | Publication Date: May 27, 1992

Like most fish species, the key to catching muskie and northern pike consistently is to understand their habits and master your own techniques. Unlike other species, however, these popular gamefish will require some unique tactics and equipment.
This book includes a wealth of information on pike and muskies, along with hundreds of spectacular color photos, that will help you catch them more consistently. Learn how these fish act, where to find them, what baits and lures work best, and how to land a trophy fish in special weather situations.

A unique portion of this book even breaks down different regions of the United States and Canada and shows you some hot-spots that may be close to home.

Read this book and you'll be on the way to catching more and bigger fish than ever before.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Overview of Fishing the King, March 3, 1998

This review is from: Northern Pike & Muskie (The Freshwater Angler) (Hardcover)

This is a beautifully illustrated book about the fish, tackle and tactics for catching the fish. I would recommend this book for the person wanting to start hunting these monsters. I gives the beginner musky hunter good insight into the tackle needed, proven presentations, and behaviours of the fish. Although there are more detailed references available, I believe this is an excellent starting point for the person serious about (or seriously considering) fishing for musky.

This review is from: Northern Pike & Muskie (The Freshwater Angler) (Hardcover)

This is a good comprehensive book on Muskie fishing tactics for beginners and intermediate anglers. It is a little outdated on the boating equipment sections but the lure information still holds true. I especially like the section on where to look for them in different types of lakes. I recommend this this book to everyone.
