I plan on camping often at Lake Hudson this summer. I would like to try muskie fishing as I never have and I here this lake is excellent for them.
I will be casting from a canoe. Can anyone tell me where are some good spots on the lake and the types of lures I should use. Thanks, RiverRat |

River Rat, the northern basin is the best. From the boat launch go around the point and across the lake to the north shore. There are submerged humps and points there that hold some big fish. I would suggest you use a bigger boat and get some electronics as finding baitfish will put you on Muskies. This lake is a great trolling lake with Jointed Lokes being a top lure trolled 12 to 25 feet back in the prop wash at 3 to 5 mph. Edges are key 10 feet is the average depth most fish are caught at. There are several bays and many weed beds that will hold fish but the biggest ones suspend over the and around the many points and humps in this Impoundment. It is best when the water temps are between 60 and 75 degrees. Its is a very good night time fishery with top water baits like Jackpots catching a lot of fish. It can be a tough lake with the best of equipment so in a canoe you will find it very hard to catch Muskies there. I hope I have been of some help, Kingfisher

Thanks Kingfisher. That should help alot. I've got a few buddy's with boats so we'll try trollin. I'll make a post if we get one. Wouldn't mind chartering you sometime to learn the ropes. Whats the best months (if not already past). Do you camp there often? Would love to chat. How would I find you?
