MUSKY 360 PODCAST: Early Fall and Musky Patterns Right Now

Early Fall Topwater Tactics for Muskies

Early autumn offers up one of the most unique times to test topwater baits, since a lot of muskies are bound to still be up in the shallows. Weed growth has peaked, providing ample shallow cover. Plus, the early transition from summer into fall triggers both baitfish and predators to slide out of deeper, open water up into these weeds and shallow rocks, making them very catchable. Tall, cresting weed tops also provide a high percentage situation for a topwater bait, since many sub-surface lures are bound to collect weeds.

Total Package Trolling for Fall Musky

So many of today's Midwestern musky anglers are diehard casters. Some even consider trolling taboo, but that certainly wouldn’t be me. My fishing education background is principally centered around the foundations of Buck Perry, stressing the basic fact that "the fish are either deep, shallow, or somewhere in between".

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?”
