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.

One Step Ahead for More Muskies

One of the numerous sayings I use to stress in the fishing classes I held in the Chicago-land area for 41-years was, “if you are not one step ahead, you are usually one step behind”. What this boils down to is those who follow the pack are usually behind on what’s really happening. By the time you get wind of a hot lake or new technique, most of the “damage” has already been done. If you fish like the average angler your results with be…just average. If you want to stand out and be a head of the masses, try to think “outside the box” as much as possible. What does that exactly mean? It can mean evaluating a situation and thinking of a better solution or presentation, or doing something different. Often, it’s something the muskies haven’t seen before.
