MD Tiger Muskie

[HuskyMD]

I know that MD DNR stocks the Potomac, Little Seneca (Black Hills), and Tridelphia with tiger muskie they get from PA.

I live near Little Seneca and the Potomac and I am thinking about giving this a shot this spring.

Does anyone have any experience fishing for these locally? What advice can you offer?

The Shenandoah would be a better bet, because they have been there longer and the population is mature. But you'll need help, as in a guide, as they are in holes, and can be tricky to hook up with. A friend of mine caught one (not Tiger, just Muskie) 17Lbs 3oz. , and 36" Nov. 6, 1999. I got the picture to prove it !

The guys that fish for them on the local lake up here do really well with giant(6'+) shiners, chubs, or suckers under a bobber. It is not as challenging as catching them on a plug or bucktail spinner, but still difficult. Early spring is a good bet. Shallow bays with weed growth near a stream inlet is a good starting place.

Yeah, you are right on there. I read online in the spring when the suckers move into the Potomac the Muskie are lined up waiting for them.
