Captain Jim Muskie Charters!
Monster Muskie Fishing on Dale Hollow Lake in Tennessee and on Cave Run Lake Kentucky!
Captain Jim Fishing (a DBA of StriperFun Inc.) offers Muskie charters on Dale Hollow and Cave Run Lakes. Muskies are a very elusive fish, known as the fish of 10,000 casts. Although they are not caught as often as other species, they are extremely cherished and revered trophy fish! Captain Jim Muskie Charters offers day trips November through May (weather permitting). fish! When a big Muskie comes after a lure (many times you can watch the big predator circling!) your adrenaline starts pumping! Then its “Kabam” and the rod gets yanked down and the reel is screaming! Throughout the year, it is not uncommon to see 20 or 30 pound “goliath” Muskie pulled from the beautiful waters of both Dale Hollow and Cave Run Lake. This fishing is not for the faint of heart however! These big fish hit like freight trains, making long powerful runs! We use large rods, heavy duty reels and 50-pound test line with wire leaders!
DALE HOLLOW LAKE
Dale Hollow Lake on the KY – TN border holds the record for the most Musky caught over 50 inches, held by my dear friend EC Reagan, who recently passed away. I am blessed that he shared with me his techniques, lures and honey holes. Since the Musky in Dale Hollow have to be 50 inches long just to keep one. This keeps the population of huge fish healthy and protected.
