Fall Muskies

[MNBIGBEAR]

Just wondering what techniques you guys use for post-turnover muskies.

[bubs]

depends when after post turnover. And what lake. I will give you this though right before Ice up troll big cranks on the breaks.

Normal post turnover baits for myself include big rubber: bulldawgs, live action joes, etc... Slow gliding jerk baits: phantoms, mantas, hellhounds, etc... Jigs: Esox Cobras, J-Macs, Fuzzy Duzzits.... Spinnerbaits to be slow rolled: RadDogs... Big profiled bucktails: Spankybaits Fireballs, DC 10s, CowGirls... Big Cranks: 10 inch jakes, Salmo Skinner, Big Game...

Generally speaking, the baits I use are to move slowly, to get deeper, and to show a big profile.. A lot of times after turnover, fish move deep and getting at them is half the problem... Big plastics and jigs work great to get down to them.. But the rest have big profiles and can be moved slowly to trigger them to move up to take your offering..

But remember, there are no rules in musky fishing and they will go where they want.. So you can still find fish shallow too, but these baits can also be used there as well..
