March 6, 2009, Newsletter Issue #126: Big Muskies and Smaller Baits

Tip of the Week

Big muskies are very cautious. They can be taken on smaller crankbaits that look like an easy-to-catch snack when fishing pressure is heavy. At times muskies prefer bigger prey over the hard-to-catch smaller creatures that provide limited benefit when compared to the energy expended to chase them down.

Big muskies will respond negatively to noisy boat motors and the array of artificial baits that daytime anglers throw at them. Lunker-class fish will often adopt a night-feeding schedule on busy lakes to avoid the hustle and bustle of the traffic. Use noisy topwater baits or slow-rolled spinnerbaits fished on the surface to attract savage strikes.
