Don't know much but what I can say is the Delaware River is a good place to start. Check for info in the Gap area for true Musky fishing. There are tiger muskies in a lot of places but not many. Lake Hopatcong is another place to ask around about muskies. Good luck !

I had a big tiger musky follow a rapala all the way to my feet in Lake Shenandoah last spring. It smiled at me and took off in the other direction thud

I was told by the little tackle shop there that they no longer stock tigers in that lake but a few are reported each year.

That's the only place I've ever caught a tiger as well.  I've never caught a "regular" muskie.

Used to catch 'em in Budd Lake, right on the side of Rt. 46.  Nice Pike in there too!

Try Mercer Lake in Mercer County Park.  Over the past few years I have heard reports of some pretty nice fish coming out of there.
