Catching muskies require everything to go right. When water temperatures drop, even more attention to details are required to land a lunker. Here are 10 tips to help put more muskies in your boat this fall.
Sharpen your hooks! ( there will be a whole blog post on this in the coming weeks)
Do not keep casting in the same place. Look where you are and cast in different places and hit prime areas from different angles
Always figure 8 or 0… one of the biggest mistakes angles make.
Try different locations at different times. We are creatures of habit but do not fish the same way each time you get out.
Slow down! Slow down your presentations and give fish time to eat.
Mix it up. Have a few anglers casting or trolling? Use different baits to see what they are interested in. What works today may be yesterdays news.
Cover new water and do not fish the same spots daily. Do not create extra pressure in your favorite spots. Learn new water and spread the wealth.
Leave a slow following fish. Sometimes it is hard to leave a fish that follows a bait. Instead of flogging the water to a pulp, hit new areas and return to the spot before dark or when there is a change in weather or wind.
Go Big. Time to break out the biggest baits in your box
