Musky concern for this winter

[Deaf Fisherman]

Anyone,

When I was reading on DEC rulebook, one thing that I was confusing about,

Can I go after musky during ice fishing season? or that is definitely illegal to after them?

I just want to make sure that I am not in any position to do any kind of illegal fishing or harm to fish. since I am pretty newbie to ice fishing.

Last day of muskie season is tuesday. It will not be open again until the 3rd Saturday year, so you cannot target Muskie in New York during ice fishing season. Fortunately they are not as active through the ice as pike are but there was some DEC enforcement of some who caught and did not directly release muskie after they were inadvertently caught through the ice (they took pics). They must be immediately released unharmed...no pics etc and you cannot target them.

Just to reiterate what Nitro said...

Musky season closes this Tuesday (30th of November). It will reopen on the 3rd Saturday of June.

Whoops...yeah, what Joe said: 3rd Saturday in June for pures. One too many pops last night I guess. LOL.

Tigers are open all winter
