When does the muskie bite start to heat up in Wisconsin? Just started hunting them last year and am looking for some answers.

I'd head out as soon as the season's open. Earlier in the year, you will probably find them cruising the shallows, either post-spawn patterns or eating the spawning panfish. As the summer moves on check out some deeper weedlines and rockpiles and work depth raiders and bucktails. Good luck!

While we boated several muskies during the spring and summer periods, all the bigger fish that we came in contact with were lost...There were four encounters with big fish from June through August...All were hooked and all got off...Two of these fish were seen, two were not...One of the observed fish was a REAL hog...That fish alone would have made the season well worth fishing!!!
