Really cool video. Thank you for sharing. After that one musky you caught I’m sure you’ll continue to target them. Best of luck.
Thanks for picking up the bait and dropping the link Remy! My friend Caleb at Shoreline Anglers showed me your video cuz he was like “hey I know that bait!” 🤟🏼🙏🏼
That’s awesome man. I’m happy to show the people some good baits👊🏼
🎉🎉🎉
Didn’t get to see fish but that sandwich at the end made up for the whole video.
@@serranolandscaping6567 that sandwich was 🔥 haha
Great video
Let me know when you come out to Busse Woods. Love your channel, keep it up!
@@bersc022 thank you. Hopefully in the spring!
Fished that spot many times. Smallies walleyes musky and huge catfish. Great to see! Thank you
@@bburnap4032 I figured there has to be some good fish in there. Maybe I’ll slow roll some jigs next time
I used to live and work close to your spots. Haven't seen the area for nearly 20 years.
Back then the Smallmouth were coming back, and a few Walleye were showing up.
Musky populations weren't a big thing yet.
Thanks for the visit! The Fox is the only thing I miss from my old neighborhood.
@mjddiiii the smallmouth are back. Caught some good ones this year.
I have caught quite a few Pigs. “ Big Flathead Catfish “ at the 2nd Dam you were fishing on the Eastside. It’s very deep there right up at the Face of that Dam.
@@JohnnyStoner-me4ss yeah look like some good depth there. I love fishing that stretch
Throughly enjoyed your “Hunt”.
@@muskietime thank you👊🏼
THE SECOND DAM YOU FISHED BY LOOKED LIKE IT BE A GOOD PLACE FOR CATFISH
@@joelwcarter8058 yeah I think some big ones are in there.
I had a musky break off on that wall but it swam up in a shallow corner and i was able to climb down and hand land it. Only about 33, its very hard to get them around that sign with the back current. Ive gotten six or seven off the dam, definitely better when it floods. Lost a 45 plus on the other side after a big flood, but the fish always move down after a few months and need another flood to push new ones down.
Wow man you’ve gotten a bunch. Thanks for the tips!
Your Brave Great Video
Thank you John 😅
WITH THE LURE HAVING ITS OWN ACTION, JUST REEL IN STEADY
Good musky fishing at Montgomery Dam down to the first bridge.
@@willcountymark356 on my list of places to check out👍🏽
My only recommendation would be a bigger bait this time of year. Maybe like a 10" Poseidon or a Swimming Dawg. They are trying to pack on the pounds before ice up so they might not waste the energy chasing a smaller bait.
@@tommydee1351 thank you 👊🏼
I Get All My Fish West Of Silver Spring In Yorkville/Plano, There's A Creek Mouth That Holds Muskie All Year!! Later, PEACE-OUT!!
@@rhacker3058 on my list to places to try👍🏽 happy fishing!
That’s a spot I gotta look into I know of a creek near by that holds pike but never found Muskie
nice fishing! what stretch of the Fox is this?
I know he started just north of the State Street bridge in Geneva...then downstream from there

@@Space_Gauche you got it 👍🏽
Got a 32” pike from under the road bridge in Batavia in October ! I had my lure dangling in the current while I was on my phone! Almost stole my rod! 😂
@ that’s a great fish! I’ve yet to catch a pike on the fox
Ive been fishing the Fox for years in all the spots mentioned on this thread. Ive had great sucess for smallmouth and catfish, carp etc .. I haven't caught a lot of Muskies what months are best?
Hi Scott, I am not an expert but I think the cold weather months are best.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU CATCH SOME CATFISH IN THE FOX RIVER
@@joelwcarter8058 I have a local pond for big channel cats. I’ll have to make a video 😊
Bites tough in these cold weathers
Went out today two spots only one hit Batavia and st Charles
Its never too cold! If theres open water you can get one, they are packing on the lbs for winter
@soxfantoy773 I guess it’s time for another outing 😊
Glad you got off that wall you made me nervous
@@tedthilly1934 yeah I was uneasy. 😬
I’ve heard the best place for Musky on the Fox is downstream in Yorkville.
@@alexlenz2361 I’ve heard the same. I might venture down there soon. I know the spot.
Idk why I gave up going to this spot, this weather got me in a funk
It’s a good spot 😊
@@remyvillarrealElgin ?
Don't give up, yesterday was. First day bringing home fish in over a month nailed 12 bluegill perch over on little lake butte des morts in Wisconsin, force yourself outside endure the cold develop more patience you got this
@@TonyMaas-b5f nice! Yeah I’ll be out again soon!
@@remyvillarreal where were you at at for the second and third spot in the vid? I couldn’t recognize it
Best time of the year to musky fish the fox. I'm obviously not gonna give my spots up but if u can find deep holes in slower moving current they will hold muskies. And the best spots this time of year are creek mouths that flow into the fox. Some are better than others. Ur gonna have to put in some time to find the better ones
@@jheiny1231 thanks for the tips. I’m all finding new spots. What kind of baits you throwing this time of year?
@remyvillarreal definitely jerk baits. Jake's and grandmas. Same lure the names are just different sizes
@ thanks!
That's how my fishing always goes. Zero bites.
Thats Musky fishing...
Hey buddy when was this heading to st Charles Monday just wondering how much ice
@@tedthilly1934 hey Ted, yesterday. A lot of open water.
@@remyvillarreal need me some smallies
SINCE YOU LIKE FISHING FOR MUSKY,THEN GO THE SHELLBEVILLE LAKE TAILWATER AREA. THEY ARE IN THEIR. YOUR YOU ARE USING. SHOULD WORK THERE
@@joelwcarter8058 thank you!
Where are you l like the way looks
A Muskie is called the fish of a 10,000 cast for a reason! Also throwing a lure downstream will only spook a fish! Because they're facing into the current! Looking for bait moving downstream! Never a bad time being on the water fishing! Bites or no Bites!
@@michaelbyrne8860 thank for the tips. Yes anytime on the water is a good time👍🏽
Algonquin dam has a deep pool and a creek that comes in rt by it.. somebody caught a 54-in tiger muskie there a few years back it does get some pressure from people fishing but if you work the deep pool back to the creek he will have luck. Make sure you have your fishing license DNR sometimes pops in
I caught a 12 lb tiger South of I 90 on a bass spinner this past father's day. 1st one of my life. Heck of a fight.
If you want to catch Muskie you need to hit the upper fox river or the chain o lakes Marie, Channel, Bluff, Pistakie lakes are all deep
Thank you, I’m looking to kayak fish that area in the spring
I can't tell if you are using a leeder or not, plus you really should bring a net.
@@johnferrante1261 I am. Hard to carry a musky net while wading. Plan is to land it in shallow water if I catch one.
@remyvillarreal I saw your smaller musky flopping around in the rocks in Geneva, a bigger one would be much harder to handle, trust me. Best thing for the fish is to keep it in the water, and in the net as long as possible. I mainly wade for smallies, but when I'm hunting musky I always try to bring a net.
@ makes sense John. Good advice👍🏽
This looks like to be the Saint Charles area?
South
@remyvillarreal in the beginning of the video it looked like Hotel Baker was across the river
Brave fishing without a leader, those alligators have some massive teeth
@@AngrySpaghetti1967 I did have a titanium leader on. Lure was too expensive not to 🙂
@@remyvillarreal Looked like just a swivel. Cheers
COME VISIT ME SOMETIME,TO TALK FISHING. I LIVE AT THE LASALLE V.A. HOME
@joelcarter8058 thank you for your service 🙏🏼 we were looking into the Lasalle location for my dad.
i live in geneva and I honestly think you would have better luck with a shad colored swim bait instead of perch. i dont think ive ever seen perch in that area of the river but see shad jumping all the time
I’ll give that a try. Only place I’ve ever caught perch was at the Algonquin dam.
@@remyvillarreal my favorite lure for the summer is super fluke baby bass color. looks like a shad in the water and the smallies love it
@@steafyisbeefy819 megabass craw for me
Hope there is a steel leader on that bait! Those toothy critters make hamburger out of any leader other than steel.
Yes sir, I had a titanium leader
@@remyvillarreal Better than steel!
