Hang-Time Muskies

The term “hang-time” has been used in the sport of football most often, and it usually refers to how long a punt or kick hangs in the air from the moment the player kicks or punts the ball until a receiver catches it. Generally speaking, a longer hang time is preferable to kickers/punters because it allows defenders ample time to run down field to intercept the ball carrier before he has had a chance to advance very far. The same term applies to angling, but is used in a different fashion.

The Treble Trick-Out Musky Lure Tweak

Most hard-bait muskie lures are fish catchers right out of the box, but there are going to be certain times and situations where some simple minor tweaks make them far more effective for specific applications. Let’s focus on one of them here — reducing buoyancy to create more “hang time” and even attain neutral buoyancy suspension.

Super Cold Musky Gold
As we slip into December, most musky anglers have long ago winterized their boats, cleaned their reels and hung up their rods. While the allure of deer hunting and holiday festivities are more than enough to divert the attention of the musky amasses, a handle full of winter warriors knows that the last few days of open water can yield dramatic musky results.
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.

Keys To Early Season Musky Success
Early season musky fishing is something that all us, who are musky nuts, can't wait to start doing, yet few us are truly successful at catching fish during this period of time. You've heard all the cliches "It's too early, They're still spawning, The water's too cold, We need some nice weather to get'em going. " The list goes on and on, but for the most part none of it should hinder your ability to catch your favorite fish during the early season. What you do need to know is WHERE the muskies are exactly, and WHAT conditions and lures are going to trigger them to strike.
