Hey Boys,

Ransome, Gordo and I attended Bill Craig's muskie course yesterday....What a day!...8 hours of muskie talk... ...he goes thru equipment...baits....forage...locations...trolling patterns..everything!...it was great....anyone looking to get into the great sport of muskie chasing should sit in for the day....you don't get alot of chances to talk to a guy who has been fishing the Ottawa River for muskies for 30 plus years...

RJ

I agree RJ, Bill is a great speaker and certainly knows his Muskie. I enrolled in his 5 week session last year and was very impressed. The part I liked best was trying to determine where the big fish were caught after watching the videos. If you are familar with the Arnprior and Constance Bay sections of the river, its easy to pick up landmarks along the shore.

Great speaker and great guy for sure...

I'm not one to let people tell me about what people are like...I'll be the judge of that...and to me Bill will be an asset in my fishing outings forever...definitely worth the $$$....

Hey MM, I hear ya on the locations... ...scary thing is he had a picture of a monster skie....that I'm sure I've raised to my boat twice in the same spot...47 pounds... ...best part is she's probably still there!

RJ

Hey RJ, did Bill let the class raid his tacklebox at the end of the day? I got some sweet goodies off him last year.

No Raiding....

He's having some trouble getting those same baits we are.....

RJ

RJ was right, absolutely great course!! Ive been out on 2 charters with him before and havent been let down...... and I know some spots now, that I would have never thought about fishing before going out onto the water with him!
The charters are great with bill because he is a good guy, who keeps talking and showing you little tricks here and there, and best part is he puts you onto fish!

Where was this and how do I find information on the next one? I started Musky fishing 2 years ago, and catch them 4 out of 5 outings needless to say I’m hooked.

July and Aug of course.

Bill's Muskie coarse runs a couple times a year and are held at West Carleton High School. Look in the Ottawa Carleton Continueing Education book that comes in the mail every few months. Look under Muskie Fishing. He has a one day like RJ attended or there is also a 5 week session that is two hours Wednesday evenings.

Thanks. I will keep my eyes open.

Here's his website if your interested!!
