MUSKIE FISHING ON THE NEW RIVER
The New River in South Western VA has become a hot spot for Muskie the last couple of years. This area is known for its small mouth fishing; and with our rocky structures the walleye fishing has been good also. My cousin and I fish this area quite often. I got a phone call, it was my cousin Robert.”Let’s go fishing.” He didn't know it was the Daytona 500 but he talked me into it. Good thing he did! We took off and fished one area for about an hour throwing Muskie bait. We went up and down maybe twice, so I put on a walleye jig. About the 5th cast this 34 ½ inch Muskie hit. I wasn’t sure I could get him in on 6lb. test, but I was lucky and landed him in about 10 minutes. Later that day we had two more Muskie in the boat. It was an awesome day. Just keep throwing them baits and you will run into one of them brutes. DB
