My son asked if I would take him to Pineview tomorrow.
One of the fish that he would like to pursue is Tiger Muskie.
I have never trolled for TM and I would appreciate any tips on tackle and method.

I have caught several TM in the past while casting plastic jigs for Bass.
This will be our first attempt trolling for them.
I have some Rapalas and wire leaders.
Will I want to fish my rigs shallow?
What speed would be best?
Are down riggers used for TM?

I am a believer in trial and error and I do expect to learn as we go.
Some basic tips though would be very helpful in getting started.
Please PM me if you don't want to give out info to the internet world.

Thank you in advance,
Dale.

The active Tigers are shallow eating the spawning Crappie.

Thank you, Bassin_Blitz.
Looks like I won't want to troll for them.
I will try casting around the weeds and shore. That will give us shots at Crappie, Bass and TM.
