The Month And Musky Lure Selection

What is interesting is that even though the crank bait catch quantities for each month are generally low, the productivity of the crank bait was consistent over 6 of the 7 months of the season...

Slow Rise Musky Jerk Baits

A slow presentation will sometimes produce fish in the cold waters of late fall when nothing else seems to work. How slow is "slow"?

Twitch, Jerk and Glide for Musky

Fall Muskie fishing and jerkbaits go hand in hand, but what style jerkbait to use and when to use it?  Make no mistake about it, jerkbaits can and do produce well all season long. When Fall comes round, they can really get hot. Every tackle company seems to have one...

Everything Went Wrong

The wind had picked up and was blowing out of the West at about 25 miles per hour. By all of the conventional wisdom, Musky are more likely than not to be on the move when the wind is up…the down side is that you have to fight the wind when casting as well as deal with the question of boat control. Unfortunately, some times we find ourselves spending more time engaging boat control in a heavy wind than actually fishing...

Musky Fun In The Fall

We were poised on a large bar that ranged in depth from 11 feet to 2 feet so we had lots of options for lure selection. The overcast, rainy and relatively calm wind conditions made surface baits, bucktails and twitching crank baits all good choices...

Musky...You Don’t Always Need Weeds

"This is the kind of spot that you just know.", John said. I asked John if there were weeds on this shelf and john confided that it was as bald as a baby’s bottom...

In The Fall Musky Are Everywhere

As we who fish for Muskie know, the Muskie tend to put on the feed bag late in the season just after the water turns over; but it is always a good idea to revisit the mechanics of this phenomena. If you have read my article on Understanding Turnover, you know...

September's Musky Memory

Every outing is a learning experience and I always look forward to the quality time on the water with my husband. My enthusiasm for musky fishing grows every year. Granted, it is not the most glamorous sport for women, but I wouldn't trade the time on the water and the thrill of a catch...

Musky On The Spot

The beauty of regularly fishing the same body of water is that, over time, you get the opportunity to catch fish in many different weather conditions. If you are diligent and keep a good diary of these catches, you can use that diary to provide a “clue”...

The Frank Suick Story

When the name Suick comes to mind most musky hunters think of "Muskie Thriller" jerkbaits. Frank Suick was born in 1899, a month before the turn of the century. In the 1920's he started fishing Pelican Lake in Wisconsin...

The Tyrant Jerkbait

The Tyrant is a hard-bodied jerkbait with a ‘living’ soft plastic ribbon tail.  When pulled through the water, this tail flashes and vibrates, drawing fish from a distance.  In addition, the sound coming from the dual rattling sound chambers in the lure attract the attention of fish far and wide. At only $16.00 it is an excellent value.

Inside The Musky Tackle Box
