Welcome to TNmuskies.org, the home of musky fishing here in the great State of Tennessee.

If  you are tired of chasing largemouth bass and are ready

to step up to the challenge of reeling in trophy muskies or

massive striped bass we have here in East Tennessee, get

in touch with me.  I have the experience needed to get you

going in the right direction.  Not only can I show you how

to successfully target these fish, I can show you what lures

and methods are most effective throughout the year.  You

might as well fish with someone that has been there and

tried  that.

Below is a 48.5 inch Melton Hill musky caught in on a Meat and Potatoes double #10 bladed Hefty Girl in May 2010.  For more information about an affordable bucktail that works great visit:  http://www.meatandpotatoes.net/

In May 2010, I hooked up with Crash Mullins for 2 days of

of intense musky fishing on Melton Hill.  I put Crash in

front of some big muskies and the result was incredible.

Catches included 42", 43", 48", 49", and a 50.25"

musky.  Look for this episode of "Catch ya in the

Bluegrass with Crash Mullins" to air later this year.

         

Hey everybody, welcome to TNmuskies.org.  This site is dedicated to southern musky fishing.  My name is Billy from Knoxville, Tennessee and there is nothing I enjoy more than hitting the water in search of elusive fish.  After acquiring my BS in geological sciences in 2002, I began to hit the waters frequently after work.  My position and location enables me to fish quite often.  I enjoy fishing for a variety of fish including striped bass, trout, walleye, and muskies.  I have studied the ever changing variables involved with fish behaviors and have tried to take more of a scientific approach to figuring the fish's tendancies.  The reason I created this site was for anglers to share information, not necessarily secret fishing spots, but general information that might help out fellow fishermen.  We here in the Tennessee Valley are blessed with some of the greatest freshwater fishing in the country and it is up to us as anglers to support the efforts of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA).  I have a group of friends around the area that fish often so I am usually aware of conditions on a few bodies of water throughout the year. 

Preservation

During my time fishing for muskies here in Tennessee, I have realized that the majority of muskies caught here in Tennessee are not properly handled.  I have whitnessed lots of abuse through the years and hopefully through the efforts of the Volunteer Musky Hunter Club and others we will educate local musky fishermen on the importance of careful handling and the overall preservation of muskies.
