Sharpen Your Skills : Timber and Laydowns
While fishing timber for muskies is an ominipresent option in the South, the effectiveness of targeting timber across the entirety of the muskie's habit range can not be overstated. From Tennessee to Canada, if there is standing timber, logs, and laydowns, then there will be muskies. Timber and laydowns are a stationary type of cover that hungry muskies use as an ambush point regardless of season. These partially or fully submerged pieces of wood are something savy musky anglers know they can count on early in the season or during lean years when vegetation is lacking.
Live Imaging Musky Rite-Hite Turret
It is undeniable the impact that live imaging has had on modern musky fishing. From the second I heard grumblings about this new technology I was more than intrigued. The ability to see muskies, but more importantly forage and the bait fish in real time was too much for me to resist. As an early adopter of live imaging on my musky boat I have spent countless hours staring at the screen of my Garmin unit. Cast after cast lures come in but every now and again a musky is in hot pursuit of a client’s presentation and the ability to give them a few seconds early warning has become invaluable.

Take a Hard Look at Rock Reefs
My obsession with crankin’ rocks for muskies began years ago while guiding a couple long time clients from Kansas and on the first day of our annual 3-day musky hunt, we were greeted with some of the nastiest conditions imaginable! Air temps had dropped a solid 15 degrees and a stiff Northeast wind, gusting to 25 mph, informed me that twitching small minnowbaits in the weeds, such the Bucher baby ShallowRaider, might be our only ticket. Luckily my plan worked and we were able to put a nice musky on the board along with a couple lunker northerns.

Early Season Success Might Just be Surface Deep
Time and time again you’ve heard musky experts like Joe Bucher, and others talk about the importance of shallow water and the sun’s thermal effect on muskies during the early part the season. Its undeniable that post spawn muskies will seek refuge in “hot spots” like bays and coves that are at times only slightly warmer than the main lake basins. These “hot spot” muskies rarely venture far from the comfort of the shallow bays until a bit later in the season. But catching these shallow water fish can be frustrating as they are often more finicky than fired up.
You’ve Got A Follow! Now What?
Several of my most recent youtube videos have featured comeback/castback tactics with Musky 360 editor Steven Paul and Tyler Andrews, The Musky Guru. Consequently, a deeper conversation about these techniques and strategy is in order. Musky anglers are really the only group of freshwater anglers that refer often to follows as part of their overall fishing experience on any given day. The musky follow is certainly a huge part of the sport’s dialogue for sure, but it can also become a key tactical strategy once you fully understand how to capitalize on it. Here’s how I attack it.

Fishing in the Northwoods of Wisconsin is still pretty darn good right now. There aren’t nearly as many anglers on the water as we’ll see heading into mid-to-late November. Many fishermen put the boat away and trade it for a tree stand, but a few die-hards—like several of us here at the Musky Shop—k
