Answer
You need to target a lake with a good population of muskies in it. There are many places to get that information. I would start with maps, bait shops, taxidermists, DNR, friends, and a local musky club.
Then you need to gear up. Don't skimp, get a good rod, reel and super braid line. I would start with throwing a bucktail. Once you get good with that then progress to a topwater bait....
Make sure to also have a big, good net and release tools so when you are successful you can properly handle the fish, not hurt it and let it go.
at what water temperature...
