Low and Slow for November Muskies
Seasons change and of course, muskies change. November is a make-or-break time for anglers in all parts of the US. This is the late fall period that might have some anglers pulling their hair out in hopes of landing the fish of a lifetime. Landing a monster musky isn’t something any devoted angler takes lightly, so why aren’t we equally obsessed with putting in the work to find them? November muskies can sometimes feel like the hardest to find and least likely to eat, but starting out each trip in the right direction might help you make shorter work of getting those buggers to eat.

Beaver Baits
The Beaver Bait is a lure design like no other. Indefinitely hard to categorize, the Beaver Bait often gets lumped into generic lure classifications that it often doesn’t fit into precisely. Is it jerk bait, or is it a pull pause bait? No, it’s a Beaver Bait.

3 Sure-Fire Spots for Big Muskies
Most musky anglers have run through the same progression of goals. First you just want to catch a musky…any musky. Then you want to catch a bunch of muskies. Finally the hunt for big fish is on. While you are sharpening your skills at catching muskies, you start to realize what it takes to catch a real trophy. Often the “numbers lakes” you are fishing offer little opportunity to bag that 50-plus incher, so you start zeroing in on noted big fish waters; usually bigger bodies of water where the fish can grow and thrive by not being as pressured as much as they would have been in smaller waters. Next comes the strategy of when may be the best times to pursue the quest of your trophy fish. After your game plan comes together and you are on the water, now comes the hard part…finding the bigger fish as fast as possible.

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.

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.
