I always use steel leader for Muskies. Everybody always says oh no don't use steel leader because, they'll see it. I've always done well with steel leader... but to each they're own, awesome video beautiful looking fish I love Leaser lake.

You treay the musky really well! respect! putting it in the water for breaks and stuff is great

[@PoconoOutdoorsGuy]

Thank you! Josh is pretty passionate about releasing them in good shape.

[@TheMasterCaster]

That's awesome. I actually went to leaser to fish during that 50 degree period in January but I didn't think the ice was safe enough, my mistake. That was a great tiger. I've caught a 40 incher out of there before. The muskie in there are no joke.

[@PoconoOutdoorsGuy]

Thanks for the comments! Always great to hear from other passionate fisherman. It was a tough winter, but looking forward to spring. Need to get out on the boat & get it done....

[@fishingbreath]

back in the 80s it was a great lake for muskie, walleye and panfish. When they drained it the first time there was huge muskie that came out of there. It used to be on the wall at the fish hatchery in Allentown near the hospital. Just about every Sunday I was there at the Lake.

[@PoconoOutdoorsGuy]

The musky are awesome there now, a really great place to fish! Still catch & release though....

[@fishingbreath]

If you remember after the first draw down the fish commission loaded it up with bass thinking it was going to be a bass capitol of Pa. All the bass you wanted to catch with big heads and skinny bodies for a total of 10 inches. Will it ever be what it once was?? Brady's and Gouldsboro are two others to name a few that the fish commission screwed up.

[@dannycherok314]

[@esoxaddict]

can't stress enough NO WATERS on the ice especially when it's that thin and 50degrees put some ice cleats on and stay off your ass being a diehard musky guy I liked your enthusiasm and your concern for the fish was awesome

[@fishing4life61]

Couldn't agree more about no waders on the ice, its a bad practice for sure. I plan to get a Clam suit soon. Although the ice does look very thin (possibly from color correction in editing). It was actually 5+". As for the cleats, I did have a very cheap pair on, clearly they dont get the job done. Time for some nicer ones. Thanks for the feedback! It is appreciated.

[@ColtonColburn]

Fish here all through the summer. Saw a few musky that were upwards of 48 inches. Biggest I've seen pulled out was a 46 incher from a grandpa fishing with his grandson and family.

[@PoconoOutdoorsGuy]

46" is a monster. Especially for Tigers...

Josh & I fish together a lot, he is always about releasing fish in good shape. We release almost all the fish we catch. I may keep one or two striper a year for the fry pan tho!

[@brianmcdonald4443]

Love the video! After I use the depth finder (clamp on heavy thng) I use a tiny bobber to mark my depth. Its maybe 3/4" wide and I could even wrap the line up with the bobber still connected for quick pick up at dusk or dark when your fingers are too frozen to fight with

[@PoconoOutdoorsGuy]

Brian, thank you for watching and that is a FANTASTIC tip! Why dont I think of these things! Maybe even post that to our FaceBook page as a great ice fishing tip. @POGnetwork

[@thomasliptrott3834]

All my tipups have buttons on them for marking depths. Slides on the line easily, but stays put god enough. And the weighted clip is called a sounder.

[@brianmcdonald4443]

My father always used buttons and taught me to use them. I always had to re-check the depth after each fish I pulled in because it would slide on the edge of the hole or from water resistance. And on a good day it was less time with my bait in the water and more time with my gloves off! So I found the smallest bobber I could find didn't move, but I never caught muskie thru the ice. Just bass and pickerel. The button was small but maybe I needed a smaller one.

[@paullynn405]

Brian McDonald should try a little button line through two holes moves to adjust depth

[@anglingaddicts4951]

Awesome video, loved seeing your excitement! Excellent commentary as well. When we were first getting into ice fishing for musky, we got bit off by a giant while fishing a 30 pound flouro leader. We have since moved up to 80 pound flourocarbon leader and have landed plenty of muskies without any issues. Just thought I'd drop my two cents if you were looking for other options for leaders. Keep up the great work and high video quality.

[@PoconoOutdoorsGuy]

Thank you very much! Great tip too! WE will have to definitely try that. I know Josh is still excited about that musky even today, it was a great catch. We will be heading there real soon to try it again. Please keep in touch!

Hey Russ! Thanks a million for watching! I'll let Josh chime in as well. But often we just pick up & go fishing and work with what we have on hand. Yes should definately be thinking of steel leaders!

[@sylus7k69]

Hey so I always fished for muskeys and like any 3 feet below the ice and I catch a few but why do you go off the bottom but nice video

[@fishfeverwithjoshtaylor3904]

Sylus Nunn I would say it depends what they feed on primarily. If they are eating gills/perch then they are often down at the same depths as them. But if they are trout eaters they will probably be higher up in the water. Honestly I don’t think bait depth is that important, they aren’t afraid of moving up or down to take a bait. Being in the right spot in general is more important

Muskies have bigger teeth than pike. They will bite right through a leader that works for pike. I've used 50# mono for lures, especially lures like spinnerbaits where they rarely engulf the entire thing. For live bait, I would use wire or heavy fluorocarbon.
