There are some big muskie on Nipissing, but I have heard not many people target them and usually pick them up while fishing for pike. I would try trolling any large perch or walleye cranks especially when it's windy.

Unregistered	have got a few over the years personally its a little backbreaking and slow to straight up musky fish the west arm if you scale your baits down a little you will have some fun with the pike and may run across a musky. just my opinion hope you have some good luck

For pike-find deep weeds, 8-10 feet, throw bucktails, spinner baits, shallow cranks Muskie-find underwater humps, islands - similar baits but throw as BIG as your rod can handle For both species, wind is your best friend - fish the waves and windy points Caught this beauty last weekend - out of the water for a minute then released Good luck
