Final details set for Musky Seminar March 26 and April 2 at Nicolet College

The many tactics to catch one of the most prized gamefish in northern Wisconsin will be the focus when the Outdoor Adventure program at Nicolet College holds its Musky Seminar March 26 and April 3. 

     “If there’s a secret to catching muskies regularly, it’s putting together a whole bunch of little things and doing them correctly,” said recent Fishing Hall of Fame inductee Steve Heiting, who will be the lead presenter at the seminar. 

     Participants can attend one or both days.
     Ten different classes are planned for the two-day event with seminars offered March 26 geared for people new to musky fishing and with April 2 geared toward helping more experienced musky hunters put more fish in their boat.
     “All of the class sessions are focused on giving people the knowledge and skills they need so they can hit the water running when musky season opens in May,” Heiting said. 

     Joining Heiting in presenting seminars are long-time Northwoods guides Scott Biscobing, Ken Jackson and Rob Manthei. 

     Each session is one hour and topics will include Basics Of Musky Fishing, Landing & Release Techniques, The Right Stuff: Gear Up Correctly, Examining Area Waters, Make Muskies Bite, Understand Feeding Windows, Moving Waters: Fishing In Current, Successful Tactics For Open Water, and Livebait Tactics.
     Cost is $60 for one day and $100 for both days. Lunch, a welcome bag, and the chance at door prizes are included in the registration fee.
     Nicolet College held Musky Seminars in 2018 and 2019, but had to skip the past two years because of the pandemic. “Thankfully, it looks like that’s behind us now,” Heiting said. 

     Note that mask mandates have been lifted at Nicolet.
