Tiger Muskie advice
I used to live in Rhinelander Wisconsin . After opening day we pounded the water. I was a lot younger then. But the next day it was Smallmouth fishing . Suicks and crank baits we caught a lot. But Bucktails always put some in the net

Carolina rig
I tried some of those small whisker seeker rattles on a c rig for bass. They work great . The current keeps them moving and ratting. They come in different colors. I have been using the chrome color. Really worth a try . There really light so it doesn’t affect weight .

What Else Can I Say
I caught my PB largemouth Easter Sunday in 1989. It was on a yellow 3 hook pre rigged worm with red dots. My daughter picked it out. Me and her snuck out for a while. It weighed 7 13. I have been trying to beat that since then. So dont give up. Keep casting. So much fun and so many memories made and yet to be made.
