Muskie Strategy: How to Create a Better Game Plan
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.
Lure Color 101: What Do Muskies Want?
When we’re talking musky baits, we’re talking about size, shape, motion, and color. If you go down the rabbit hole of color theory online, you might come back with a slight buzz or a dislocated brain stem, so let’s take the shallow dive with classic pointers to get you where you need to go when it comes to choosing the best color for any given situation while targeting muskies.
Tennessee Musky Fishing | Finding the Pattern During Fall Transition
In musky fishing, October can be the light at the end of the tunnel or the bane of your very existence. For some anglers, a lifetime of knowledge isn’t even enough to guide them through the woes of finding a pattern in October. October can mean so many different things to many different anglers, depending on their relative location to the North or middle of the US as well as the type of waterways they fish. Regardless of where you are located on the map, October is usually a time of transition, so maybe a little information will go a long way to explaining what on earth are Muskies looking for this month.
You’ve Got A Follow! Now What?
Several of my most recent youtube videos have featured comeback/castback tactics with Musky 360 editor Steven Paul and Tyler Andrews, The Musky Guru. Consequently, a deeper conversation about these techniques and strategy is in order. Musky anglers are really the only group of freshwater anglers that refer often to follows as part of their overall fishing experience on any given day. The musky follow is certainly a huge part of the sport’s dialogue for sure, but it can also become a key tactical strategy once you fully understand how to capitalize on it. Here’s how I attack it.

Vertical Jigging for Musky: A Northwoods Wisconsin Game-Changer
In the pine-scented lakes of Wisconsin's Northwoods, where crystal-clear waters hide trophy muskies among towering timber and rocky reefs, casting big baits still reigns supreme as the go-to tactic, with trolling playing a solid supporting role. Yet vertical jigging? It's the stealthy underdog that'

3 Sure-Fire Spots for Big Muskies
Most musky anglers have run through the same progression of goals. First you just want to catch a musky…any musky. Then you want to catch a bunch of muskies. Finally the hunt for big fish is on. While you are sharpening your skills at catching muskies, you start to realize what it takes to catch a real trophy. Often the “numbers lakes” you are fishing offer little opportunity to bag that 50-plus incher, so you start zeroing in on noted big fish waters; usually bigger bodies of water where the fish can grow and thrive by not being as pressured as much as they would have been in smaller waters. Next comes the strategy of when may be the best times to pursue the quest of your trophy fish. After your game plan comes together and you are on the water, now comes the hard part…finding the bigger fish as fast as possible.
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.

Musky Structure Fishing: Getting Dailed In
Truly understanding structure and how muskies relate to it is a pivotal moment in any angler’s journey. Your career on the water is always filled with a few moments of enlightenment here and there—but when structure fishing clicks in your brain, it’s a true Eureka moment. While I delve deep into the matter of muskies and structure in Next Level Musky Fishing, what follows here is a crash course designed to point musky anglers in the right direction—or help you get dialed back in for the 2025 musky season.
Bucher’s Most Reliable Musky Lure
Next Level Braid : New Musky Line
While the vast majority of gear conversations regarding musky fishing revolve around rods, reels, and above all else lures, the line you choose to use might be the most important component of your musky fishing experience. There is NO WORSE FEELING than putting in the time and effort to pursue, hook, and attempt to land a musky only to have your line fail—and let me tell you it happens.
