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.

Summer Muskies & Side Imaging

How many times have we all left the water after a tough muskie hunt thinking, “wow… I couldn’t even raise a single fish to the boat!” The answer to that question is MANY TIMES! It is the nature of our sport and the fact that we are chasing the most challenging freshwater fish to catch in the world. But, with the advent of Side Imaging technology, all of this is now changing in incredible ways! I no longer count the total number of muskie follows by just the ones I saw PHYSICALLY chase a lure to the boat but instead I now include the ones I see on the computer screen too! And these “SI” follows, as I call them, are just as valuable as seeing one with your own eyes.

Mid-Summer Muskies | Deep Weed Edge Pattern Basics

As we venture into the heart of musky season most anglers dream of whizzing bucktails and topwaters from the moment they launch till they are back at the docks. Warmer weather and substantial weed growth seems to drawl your average musky angler into the shallows like a moth to a flame. However, as we creep into the beginning of July savvy musky anglers and experienced guides start pushing back from the shallows and start targeting one of the most substantial summer patterns, muskies on deep weed edges.
