cover the area. As you can see from the graphic below, the water that we chose had a good combination of shallow water with stumps and weeds. It also had deeper water close by with sloping drop offs. We changed lures as we progressed from shallow to deep to shallow being aware of what lure the other was using. Experienced Musky anglers will usually try to mix the lure approach to increase the possibility of a hook up. After about an hour of beating the water, we came up to the water surrounding an isolated island. We hadn’t seen a fish but we were not put off by that…we had confidence on the spot and in ourselves. Rob put on a Bucktail and I put on a topper. We began to cover the water, moving toward the island with Rob fishing deep and me fishing somewhat shallow. It is easy to be lulled into a ‘casting trance’ when you have been pounding the water for over an hour…you find yourself going through the motions in an almost relaxed state…that is usually when the strike happens.
