I went out this week with Kasey Fellows, an experienced tiger muskie fisherman, on Otisco Lake.

I was impresssed. He set up five-ups, using nice- sized suckers or shiners (4-5 inches) as bait. While waiting for a flag to go up, he fished separately for panfish with a small jig and spikes. He was catching mostly bluegills -- nice-sized ones.

When the morning was over, the Marcellus resident had caught and released four tigers, the biggest being about 32-34 inches.
