Love the "Little Tikes" whiteboard! You gotta go with what you've got! In all seriousness - great video. I find myself too close to structure way too often. Gonna take your advice and back it up a bit to cover an area with more thoroughness. And thanks for the kind words about the Javelin. Todd Fleury - Harvey Baits.
Lol, I got young kids and the Little Tikes drawing board was handy. No budget for fancy white boards. Lol Thanks for watching and thanks for making an awesome line up of baits!
Dang it Glenn now you got me shopping for some Harvey Baits! If you have not tried a Beaver Bait you are in for a treat. Can’t wait to fish Thaddeus and Lac Seul again this summer. Heading to Iowa in two weeks. Jump the border you are welcome to come along.
Thx Kit, you can't go wrong with a Harvey Bait! Hit me up when your up this way, Thaddeus and Ord are on the list for a video day this summer. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Phil, we share what we can and as much as we know. We still learn everyday on the water, but we always hope to inspire someone to go chase a musky! Appreciate you always tuning in!
I LOVE the whiteboard!! I have a couple of spots in mind for my home lake that are similar to what you were describing here. I'm saving this video to refer to it again, so much good stuff in here. Awesome content, thanks.
Excellent video, a lot of good information to apply on the water. I have a lot of tools to you for musky fishing just need the confidence to use them in the right situations. Dive and rise baits is most definitely my favorite style of fishing. Thanks for sharing.
Appreciate you tuning in! And you are right about confidence, once you find that it becomes easier to succeed for sure! But knowing 'what' you want to do it always key!
Thanks for watching Mitchell! Hopefully some this will come in handy for you on Eagle Lake. Appreciate you tuning in and love the feedback! Look me up when your around Eagle this summer!
Great video! We fish lakes that have similar structure and will try these tactics. Any tips on fishing a basin lake with deep open water that doesn't involve trolling? Prefer to cast. Suspect this is where the 40+ fish are hanging in early summer
Open water, early season fish are a needle in a haystack. Guys like Brad Hoppe have had great success targeting these fish and have wrote about it in Musky Hunter. Look for areas connected to the closest spawning area, work out into the basin from there and target the depth of relative structure. The fish will most likely be suspended at a depth similar to the closest structure. Good luck and appreciate you watching, thanks!
Hey brother. I’m gonna be heading up with my wife and kids to Ontario mid July to fish crow lake and hopefully Steven’s bay LOTW, I was just wondering have you ever fished crow (kakagi) lake before? we are staying at musky bay resort.
Great video! A question I have is where to look for bigger fish in the spring? I find a good number of 32-40s in shallow weeds but never seem to find bigger fish until July or later, any tips?
Your definition of DEEP STRUCTURE, and my definition is totally different. 12 feet is still shallow. Very shallow. I know of a underwater flooded dam that is 45' on the top and 90' at the base in a long man made reservoir. The main channel is between 70' and 130' over a twenty mile length. Because the water level fluctuates a lot over the year, there are NO WEEDS or trees anywhere in this reservoir. There are several creeks feeding this lake. There are many submerged rocks (big ones) and steeply sloped points. That's deep structure.
Sounds deep! In Northwestern Ontario, most musky anglers would consider 25'-40' deep structure, or on the outer ends of where we would look to locate muskies.

Appreciate you always tuning in!
That was awesome! Great breakdown and awesome how to on deeper structure. Great points on the half cast or full cast off cover.
Thanks Matt, pretty happy hours it turned out. Looking forward to the next couple white board videos as well!
Appreciate you always watching!

Good stuff J Dean, go get em '
Good luck this season! Can't wait to hear you're success stories!
Excellent video and content, looking forward to trying these tactics out on Eagle Lake this upcoming summer. Looking forward to the next video.

awesome awesome video
Thank you so much for that David! Appreciate you always tuning in!
3 or 4 more to come in this series over the next month or so!
Will have to try some of these. My tiger lake has no vegetation or shallow habitat. All deep, and rocky. Very hard to figure out where the fish are.
Thanks for watching, hopefully some of these tactics will help on your home waters! Appreciate you checking us out!

I have no experience with Crow lake. Reach out to Thatcher at Droptine Tackle, he can help you out there.
Thx
@@54orbustthank you appreciate you very much!

Carter, great question! I'll mark that one down and try and tackle that in an upcoming video! Thanks for watching.
