Muskie Fishing Tips – Jigging Fall Muskies

Most anglers think big when hunting lunker muskie, but if you want to catch more muskie think smaller baits and tackle. I caught my biggest muskie fishing, while Alaska with a plastic worm in September. More often than coincidence may be individuals take a muskie while fishing for other species. Most fishermen seek to address heavy and large baits and trolling as the way to catch Muskies. Personally, I was bored or just tired of trolling all the time.
Now one of my tactics used successfully in the fall mainly used for fishing Alaska large Muskies and at the same time. I can use medium size and dealing with large baits especially Alaska gigas. Fishing lines of weeds, drop offs and sand banks as it would for walleyes also attract as many walleyes Muskies. The first time I realized I had some success in large walleyes were caught and released just a nice 7 pounds that was followed to the boat by a large Muskie.
The only change I made was sure it was by means of wire cables and a good tour stong. Using 6-inch plastic worked well and the result was a great day of fishing fun. In all the two walleyes caught and released nine pounds 5-8 all five Muskies in the range of 15-20 pounds. Although not the lunker, that the muskie hunters search. But I showed that the muskie can be caught on lighter and more small compared with the bait.
Conventional thinking tells us that in the fall, the remaining muskie are large, so bigger is better. However, my experience is that smaller baits are often the perfect morsel for that elusive muskie.
Material and presentation
When I say smaller baits I refer to large or large walleyes templates. As mentioned this approach was developed in a body of water with a large population of Alaska. Now, using the idea that big baits: fish large or Alaska. I started to throw 5-6 inch shad plastic templates body along the lines of weeds. I got a large number of Alaska, but to my surprise, the muskie also going for the same bait. Large plastic templates became an important part of my arsenal muskie fishing. All large plastic work well.
Color seems less important than creating a real flash. two-tone baits, mostly light and dark combinations, create more than flash when drawn through water. Adding some metal flakes of the announcements that the additional flash. Just experiment and find a combination that works for you and get the strike you want.
In general I use the ball head or templates standing in front with a medium gauge wire hooks. It is amazing how well that a single hook can handle even a large muskie. Often the shark is hooked in the flesh at the corner of the mouth. Templates also make landing and releasing easier for muskie, then there is no treble hooks big flopping around harm to fish or you. Deeply hooked fish can be released by trim the hook with pliers.
Single line cord leaders mostly seem to work better channels of weeds. I can use a cable to connect the spin hay Established cable head at one end and a pin into the small others. Watch for kinks in the wire, but these leaders are more weeds than standard models because of closures and turns.
I prefer a medium action rod rotation of 6 feet and a tail coil 12-14 pound test monofilament. A bait-casting outfit for medium heavy also do the trick, in either case, make sure the drive is working properly.
Even if you prefer the conventional approach, keep a close clothes light on hand when muskie follow, but did not hit, or short strike. With more light and to cope with a template is also a good way when two of you fishing Muskie. A fisherman casts conventioinal primers, templates and other releases. So you're always ready to answer the following and misses.
Varying the speed of recovery when jigging up muskie. I was lucky at the end of autumn, using violent movement scam jig. It's exhausting, but effective. Experiment and find something that works for you.
When a muskie battle to cope with the light, be careful not to fight it to exhaustion, thereby increasing the probability of death delayed if you plan on fishing and return. Ideally, you should release a fish capture only single hook with a pair of needle nosed pliers, while it is in water on the side of the boat. Cut the hook if the fish is hooked deeply. Muskie fishing is a fragile resource, so do your best release of the muskie is no worse for wear. Now the next season muskie are ready to fight another day and make that day a great day for another fisherman.
