Big Fish Battle Tactics

Musky battle tactics and the actual sequence of rod movements one should execute during a musky battle are rarely discussed inside the pages of an article even though this often has a bearing on both keeping the fish hooked as well as getting it in easy net range.

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.

Join the Dark Side
With the muskie fishing opener quickly approaching in the northern zone, most of us LUNGE fanatics are eagerly prepping gear, cleaning out the boat and reviewing lake maps! It is certainly an exciting time of the season for all of us and, as much as we all enjoy a day out casting on our favorite waters, hoisting a muskie out of the net for a photo makes the experience that much better!

Wicked Cold Southern Musky Trolling
Southern winters are for the most part a walk in the park compared to the mid-west. But shortly after the Holiday season nature sent a clear message that the winter of 2024 was not going to be to be trifled with. Admittedly the mere mention of ice and snow in the forecast shuts down the South instantaneously. Fearful mothers hoard eggs and milk with the fragile hope of sustaining their children so that they can repopulate the Earth once the snowpocalypse of two inches melts away. With these southern overreactions in mind, it’s not surprising that many offices, factories and job sites are shut down.

Fall Transition and Lake Turnover EXPLAINED
The transition from Summer to Fall can be a confusing time in Musky Fishing especially in colder climates where the transition is quite dramatic. When the fall transition is taking place in the air and landscape around you, imagine the same is taking place subsurface. Fall brings cooler water temps, dying vegetation, lake turnover, and a whole host of changes for underwater habitats. This extreme change can be encompassed into our "Fall Transition".
