They're susceptible to a range of techniques, including slow-rolling spinnerbaits, casting single-bladed bucktails, and twitching jerkbaits. Muskies hold in these areas for several weeks recuperating from the spawn. River mouths and large shallow flats adjacent to spawning sites offer dark-bottom areas that warm quickly and attract preyfish, such as suckers and drum. The first fish often is followed by three or four more, especially if other boats don't surround you and push fish off the spot." Finding the first fish of the day often is the key to success.
"Due to its massive size," he says, "the name of the game on Green Bay is eliminating unproductive water, following seasonal migrations of fish, and finding baitfish that concentrate muskies. That group caught and released more than 100 muskies over 50 inches last season, with most fish coming during a 90-day period. He takes his craft seriously, putting in the effort each day, working with other talented guides such as Kyle Tokarski, Stephen Boulden, and Jay Stephan. I've used just this tactic quite sucessfully in real life for striped bass, white perch, even trout, largemouth bass, and pickeral.As the range of Green Bay muskies expands, veteran Captain Bret Alexander breaks down the seasonal patterns and changing techniques on this waterway. The weight is on the bottom, but, with the leader, the bait would be swimming, injured and bleeding, around the middle of the water column. We are fishing live bait (Large Minnows or Shiners, usually) with a long-ish leader in very, very shallow water. What we have going on in Michigan with the pike is actually fairly reasonable. It belongs to bottom feeding fish.Īnd this post is not an attack on anyone doing it and no offence intended, just a little vent on something that bugs me. I always just shake my head when I see people using bottom rods for the predators. Float is still okish, but bottom rods just feels wrong.
