In this seminar I will discuss presentations and locations for musky fishing in the North Country. Primary focus will be on lakes that can be classified as "Shield Lakes." These are typically different systems than the natural lakes and reservoirs that most of us fish. I will examine the presentations, locations, and timing to take full advantage of your your trip to the North Country! This will be a seasonal seminar focusing on tips for Spring, Summer and Fall conditions and strategies.

Tom Gelb’s presentation covers “HOW TO CATCH MUSKIES SUSPENDED IN OPEN WATER” as he calls it, THE BIG FISH ZONE “. This zone is not necessarily in the current hot lake you hear about today, but may be in waters in your back own backyard.
He covers the characteristics and idiosyncrasies of these suspended giants, how to identify lakes holding these populations, specific lure presentation methods, where and how to locate and target them in their three dimensional environment and how to pinpoint and exploit their periods of high activity utilizing daily weather and his four daily moon events. He has analyzed the weather conditions for the three seasons (spring summer and fall) and had attempted to forecast big fish activity level based on each periods weather trends.
The details of substantial parts of his presentation are applicable to traditional structure fishing methodology and will enhance their effectiveness.
His methodology of “Attention to Detail” and “Precision in Everything You Do” is present throughout this presentation.
