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.

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.
Small Details Equals More Muskies
In today’s world of advanced angling tactics and high tech gear that is now available to musky anglers, it sometimes becomes easy to forget the little things that are important for us to be consistently successful on the water. These small, yet very important, details I will be discussing in this article are every bit as important as your lure selection, lake selection, or choice of boat, etc. Let’s face it, many of us who have careers, that do not enable us to be on the water full time, need to keep sharp when it comes to the small details in order to consistently boat muskies year in and year out. When our actual “on the water” time is somewhat limited due to our work or family schedules, it becomes imperative that we stay on top of our game by paying close attention to many of the smaller but very important details that ultimately make or break our success when it comes to landing more muskies each year.
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.

Musky Release Mortality: What Actually Harms Musky During Catch & Release
Catch-and-release musky fishing is the norm today. Most anglers care deeply about the fish they chase, and seeing a musky swim away feels like success. But here’s the hard truth: not every released musky survives, and that’s life.Musky release mortality doesn’t usually happen at the boat. In many ca
