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.

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.

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.

Muskies Under Pressure: Unravelling Pre and Post Frontal Conditions

To unravel the techniques needed to fish in pre and post frontal conditions, you really need to understand the dynamics of what is taking place below the surface of the water. Muskies, as most fish in the lake, carry around a swim bladder to keep their pressure regulated in a 3-D water filled space. They don’t have their feet planted heavily on the ground like people, so the swim bladder helps dictate their position and comfort in the water column.

Musky Release Mortality: What Actually Harms Musky During Catch & Release

Gettin' Sloppy : Late Summer Musky Tactics

By late summer aquatic vegetation begins to take over the shorelines, points, and bays of many musky lakes. Once easily fishable weed lines and beds have now become tangled jungles that many musky anglers find too frustrating to target. Though these dense weed beds and mats are prime shallow water locations for late summer muskies as they provide shade and forage for both predators and prey; targeting these dense cover muskies takes some extra patience, presentation adjustments and a few mods to get your lures through the weedy jungle.

Ticking and Clicking Canadian Reefs

With serious musky angling on the docket for the remainder of July and August muskie excitement is at a fevered pitched. While the majority of us are praying for a shallow water blade and top-water bite at times these perfect conditions are not present and continued success is dependent on our flexibility. When weed and shallow bays are not producing for me on the Canadian Shield lakes one of the most dependable ticks in my musky play book is clicking and ticking rocky reefs and points.
