Northern WI musky opener is upon us! We gathered two guests this week to talk about the other ends of the state that are opening for muskies: GB and Hayward/NW Wisconsin. Phil Stodola of the GB area joins us for the first time and gives the run down on temps and where the muskies should be for the bay itself and the tributaries. If you're fishing GB you won't want to miss this part! Phil also guides for Angler Sportfishing and has a YouTube/Facebook with the ever so popular "Pond Bait Demos" that you don't want to miss! Next up we have Michael Hanson on to talk about the northwestern section of Wisconsin and what those anglers should be looking for this weekend. Michael gives up some juicy tips on crankbaits and gliders that are sure to put more muskies in your net all parts of the year.  Lastly, by now you have for sure realized one member was missing... Max's first pod missed! Oofda. That's okay. Gus and Brian held down the fort and chopped it up about their own tactics and thoughts on opener for more of the Eagle River/Minocqua area this weekend. Nuggets are dropped all throughout this one so be sure to tune in on your way up north and tap in! Goodluck to everyone on the water and we wish you a successful season! We hope you enjoy the Caddyshack cold open referring to Phil's pond bait demos! https://sugsfishing.com/
