Winter Musky Fishing Equals Broken Gear.

While musky fishing in January and February might seem like a foreign concept to some, it is a welcomed perk of living in the south. Admittedly the winters in the muskies southern habitat range are generally mild, some years are simply brutal. So far 2024 is not pulling any punches when it comes to bone chilling temps, howling winds and subsequently broken musky gear. So, for the few, the brave, the musky mentally ill crazy enough to be on the water during gale force winds, snow and all-around gnarly conditions let’s look at a few tips to help save your musky gear from damage and most importantly your personal safety on the water.

Tweaking Big Rubber Musky Lures

Mix it Up for Maximum Magnus Retrieves
The new Magnus from Livingston Lures is a simple lure to use. Catching muskies can be as easy as casting the Magnus out and turning your reels handle. But if you want to get the most out of your Magnus below are a few retrieve tricks to help you start mixing things up and inevitably put more muskies in your net.
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.
Maximizing Lipless Cranks During the Early Season
Rat-L-Traps and a variety of other lures that fall into the class of lipless crank baits have been a post spawn staple for savvy muskie anglers for many decades. It is common knowledge that muskies gravitate to smaller presentations during the post spawn period and rattle baits fit this profile to a tee. While rattle lures are relatively simple in their design, a hollow plastic body jam packed with bb’s, their versatility can’t be denied.

Keys To Early Season Musky Success
Early season musky fishing is something that all us, who are musky nuts, can't wait to start doing, yet few us are truly successful at catching fish during this period of time. You've heard all the cliches "It's too early, They're still spawning, The water's too cold, We need some nice weather to get'em going. " The list goes on and on, but for the most part none of it should hinder your ability to catch your favorite fish during the early season. What you do need to know is WHERE the muskies are exactly, and WHAT conditions and lures are going to trigger them to strike.
