The time musky enthusiasts dream of is here! The first day of autumn is a time to think of speed and how quickly you are bringing in your baits. The cold nights are dropping water temperatures daily and as the temps get colder, it is important to slow down your presentation.
Muskies will not chase as much as they do in the warmer months but the females are putting on the feed bag for the spring spawn. This also means that it is time to break out the biggest offerings in your tackle box. Large rubber baits, 14+” flies and dive and raise jerk baits are some of my favorite offerings for fall musky. Slow down and supersize and you may net the fish of a lifetime!
