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.

Musky Fishing 101 : Improve Your Skills

Fall Trolling Basics

Steve Herbeck's Topwater Tricks and Tactics

Steve Herbeck's Topwater Tricks and Tactics
Steve Herbeck is a musky fishing legend, celebrated for his passion for topwater lures and his key role in designing the Big Makk from Livingston Lures. I recently sat down with Steve to explore what makes this topwater lure a game-changer, his expert tips for musky fishing on the Canadian Shield Lakes, and how anglers can master topwater techniques. Here’s what he shared.
Fall Trolling Basics
As we venture further into the crisp sunrises and sunsets of fall, one thing comes to my obsessive muskie mind…Trolling. While fall casting can be fantastic, those in the know are already starting to dial in their fall trolling patterns and gearing up for the super bites that happen the further, we edge towards winter’s grasp. I have said it before and will say it yet again, if trolling isn’t a part of your musky game plan you are an incomplete angler. If you fall into the camp of those that don’t troll, put down the casting rod for just a bit as we explore some of the basics of what you need to start dialing in on fall musky trolling.
Sharpen Your Skills : Timber and Laydowns
While fishing timber for muskies is an ominipresent option in the South, the effectiveness of targeting timber across the entirety of the muskie's habit range can not be overstated. From Tennessee to Canada, if there is standing timber, logs, and laydowns, then there will be muskies. Timber and laydowns are a stationary type of cover that hungry muskies use as an ambush point regardless of season. These partially or fully submerged pieces of wood are something savy musky anglers know they can count on early in the season or during lean years when vegetation is lacking.
