Ticking and Clicking Canadian Reefs
With serious musky angling on the docket for the remainder of July and August muskie excitement is at a fevered pitched. While the majority of us are praying for a shallow water blade and top-water bite at times these perfect conditions are not present and continued success is dependent on our flexibility. When weed and shallow bays are not producing for me on the Canadian Shield lakes one of the most dependable ticks in my musky play book is clicking and ticking rocky reefs and points.

Musky Lures Color and Comfirmation Bias?
Choosing the “right” color musky lure is an age-old question that keeps getting more and more convoluted as each winter brings forth an onslaught of new and custom colors. And without question these custom and new colors come with the promise of amazing results attached. While it might sound jaded, I have always asked what I feel to be an obvious question “If these custom color where so great, wouldn’t they make them all year long?”

Tennessee Musky Fishing | Finding the Pattern During Fall Transition

For some anglers, a lifetime of knowledge isn’t even enough to guide them through the woes of finding a pattern in October. October can mean so many different things to many different anglers, depending on their relative location to the North or middle of the US as well as the type of waterways they fish. Regardless of where you are located on the map, October is usually a time of transition, so maybe a little information will go a long way to explaining what on earth are Muskies looking for this month.
