Experimenting
April 2008
I write this just after returning from the Canadian opener. Only spent two days but had a great time and boated some very nice fish. One of the many things I enjoy about the opener is I get to test the many ‘experiments’ I’ve invested time and money in over the winter. Occasionally they work, most often they don’t.

Confidence
April 2008
Everyone, myself included, lacks confidence at times when fishing muskies. It goes with the territory. Why? The friend from Wisconsin nailed it in his e-mail I think.He stated ”I should be able to figure something out, again having confidence is the key, it's too easy to talk yourself out of a good idea with these fish, they just don’t give a lot of positive feedback, there’s just not enough of them.”

musings on muskies and methods
Under such extreme conditions does one bait type seem
to outshine others on a day to day basis? Yes, I believe so. The plain old
spinnerbait.

Muskies
- Creatures of Edges
In my opinion muskies, like whitetails, are creatures of edges. However, I
wonder how many of us addicts think about edges and their importance to our
success.

Fishing
Spots Thoroughly
Hey,
I like to run and gun like everyone else. If the fish are 'going,' it's
hard to beat the wham-bam and move on approach. Likewise, if I'm scouting
new water it makes sense to put on a bucktail, surface bait or some other
search bait that lets me cover and learn the water quickly.

Spinnerbaits
- Grinding & Rock Rolling
Ah,
the good old Spinnerbait, one of the most fish catchingest baits ever designed.
The ultimate "crescent wrench". A tool that works fast, slow,
shallow, deep, and in almost any kind of structure you can encounter.

Reflections
- A Brief Pause About Pausing
Pauses
during lure retrieves have interested me since I was a kid. I can remember
wading for largemouth bass, hurling an Arbogast Hula Popper as far as my
Pflueger Supreme reel and metal or solid glass rod would allow, anxious
to give the twitch that generated the loud pop, but really waiting for the
pause, that magical sliver of time that usually provoked the strike.

Thinking
About Stinking
Research shows fish, like deer, are very scent sensitive and can be attracted
or repelled by incredibly small amounts of scent-amounts we humans can't
come close to detecting.

Practicing
Fishing
What?
Fishing practice? Sounds absurd doesn't it? While your spouse or significant
other may be suspicious, I submit it's not absurd at all. We practice hoops,
golf, shooting-heck every sport we engage in except fishing.
