I would love to catch a musky one day still on my bucket list! so a real big one last year on the James river actually startled me but was cool to see!
I’m new to the sport have caught some muskies but mostly by accident on bass or walleye gear Are you saying about those spinners that you should run them fast in the spring time ? I thought fish were lethargic in the spring
Kristine, I had a re-listen. To this Musky tutorial. I think you'd enjoy. The series of two to three videos. That David Dudley completed. Last year. When he was constructing. His test swimming pool. For fishing various kinds of rock beds and structure. To use to test his bait lure prototypes on. Unhappily. It was interrupted late last year. By things as they happened. However, it was obvious to me. That David Dudley as a bass angler. Has always approached it. From a way. That is similar. To how a spring time Musky angler. Would approach things (in his more recent talk about 'strategy'). In his MLF competition experience. He was talking about small mouth bass (every fish counts over two pounds in weight). And is 'zero-ed' back down again. At the start of each day. He explained. It is a very different. Type of game (than the five bag limit one). He explained. Of his success. In fishing the opening days. Of those angling tournaments (some of which lasted over five days). I think they got days off. In between.
The point is though. Because your approach to fishing. Is one that sounds a lot. Like the way that David Dudley. Would instinctively work. As an angler. What seemed to happen. He explained that 'day off' in the middle. He couldn't figure out. What was happening with the fish. What anglers. Were putting pressure. On which part. Of the lake. There was a disadvantage there. And that. Much of the time. In his whole strategy. It was the final days. Of those tournaments (contrasted with the opening days, where his results had been excellent). In trying to go back. To places in the water. That may have been hammered. With a lot of fishing. Over the tournament days. His bite. Or his pattern. His strategy for fishing. Or whatever. Seemed to weaken a lot. Over the course of the tournament. While he did not seem. To understand what to do. To get around it. He did talk about it.
I don't know. What those other anglers. In his MLF circuit. Were doing. Which maybe. Had carried them. Closer to that podium place. Towards the ends of those MLF tournaments. Whatever they had been doing. Which was able. To cope better. With that effect. On the fishing. Of the fishing pressure itself. I don't know. Whatever it was. The winning anglers did. Or did not do. David himself did recognize. After this year's season though. It's something. He'd think about. And reflect upon. He's an angler though. When the opportunity to fish in this way. Presents itself. David is an angler. Who thinks carefully. About how his bait lures. Operate around things. Like structure (in his videos on the swimming pool tests, he even talked about putting a hypothetical 'dock' structure in the pool). Just in order to see. What would happen. When the angler throws the line and bait. Around these locations. Or around trees. And submerged cover. Of all kinds. I would be worth while. Taking a look. At some of the segments. Of conversation. That he did made about it.
What was interesting to listen to. Was the description of the various forms of hard plastic, glide bait type lures and other types. There is quite a good amount. From this world of the Musky bait lure fishing skill or competency. That I think transfers over. To species such as saltwater drum (or speckled trout). Down in the saltwater shoreline areas of Texas. And many other of the States. In fact. All as far over to the southern coastline of Florida. I was surprised to learn. Hearing from folks. Who operate on the South Carolina shoreline there (and indeed, as far up as places like the Delaware coastline). That the 'red' drum fish species. Is an important recreational sport fish species. For those anglers and charter boats too. Around the entire southern and eastern coasts.
Moving further north. I analyzed some of the fly tying patterns. They use from there, further to the north. On the saltwater. As far as places like Lond Island Sound. From the Bob Popovics anglers, as far as up to New York State coastline. The Mark Sedotti's and those pioneer saltwater fly fishing anglers there about's. They created a lot of saltwater herring bait fish imitations. To use to fly fishing with. The Striped bass being one of the important species. Further north in the saltwater. That they like to catch. From the shoreline especially (in the same way, as saltwater drum like to hunt on bait fish, in the breaking surf water in places such as Texas).
Al Quattrocchi in California. On the west coast. Spent about an hour. Speaking to Dave Stewart of Oregon (Deschutes river), about the striped bass. And other species. On the west coast. Where apparently, the actual fish were transported a long time ago. Using train line. To move some of them. From places like Long Island Sound. As far as the coastline of California. Striped bass, and my knowledge is not one hundred percent. As I understand it. Are a type of bass species. That are sort of between the estuaries of freshwater rivers. And the saltwater itself. At least, something along those lines. Is what Al, on the podcast in early June. Was explaining as the habitat. Of that species of bass. And I think, I've watched on quite a few occasions. Where the striped bass species. Have been caught on larger freshwater rivers too.
When we talk about 'bass' as a species. In countries here. Such as Ireland. It never was a freshwater, or anything to do with freshwater fish. That we mean at all. It's only a saltwater environment fish (and actually, the Atlantic salmon anglers here in Ireland are worried about increased numbers of the fish in saltwater too). As they feed on things like mackerel shoals (on the southern coast of England in particular). But equally on the west coast of Ireland too. And the saltwater bass here. Also account for a large amount of the juvenille Atlantic salmon. Who have to kind of make their way past. That line of saltwater bass predator. That wait for them to come from the rivers. When the juvenille Atlantic salmon. Leave the rivers and swim out to the saltwater. Ireland has always been a country. In Europe, that has been associated with the bass species (and we never had 'speckled trout' or saltwater drum on the other hand). In the saltwater.
What's odd about America. Is that you have drum in the freshwater. In the Great Lakes area. You have drum too, a related species. All around your saltwater coastline. And red drum in the same environment. However, you're bass species. Apart from striped bass. Are mainly in the freshwater. The opposite to here in western Europe. You move further east, into the north Sea and coastline of Norway, Denmark and Sweden. And a lot of what swims around the shorelines. Is the saltwater version. Of the 'brown' trout. The sea-run brown trout (kind of like the sea-run cut throat trout in Washington State for example). The climb up the freshwater channels. To re-produce. In countries such as Ireland and Wales. And all of the Scandinavian countries, and along the Baltic Sea.
Great video! You really know your stuff! Now you need to move NORTH to Ontario and come fishing with me! You would be a great musky fishing (and other) partner! :)
Love your videos and this tackle talk. Good luck this year
Thanks! You too!
Thank you for these spring musky tips and detailed advice on where, when and why. Best Tackle Tip Tuesday video I've seen in the last few years

I would love to catch a musky one day still on my bucket list! so a real big one last year on the James river actually startled me but was cool to see!
James is one of my absolute favorites ! There’s something special about river musky !
Have a good season!!
Thank you you as well!!!
@@kristinefischer2289 thxs
I would love to have you talk and do a presentation at our Muskie Canada chapter
Kristine, just curious, have you used this big lures to target big largemouth ?
Bought Llungen short and long and caught musky on both. Thanks....
Great!!! They are the best musky cranks!
Get em girl! Huge baits get r done! 🎣😁👍
Thanks lady
I’m new to the sport have caught some muskies but mostly by accident on bass or walleye gear
Are you saying about those spinners that you should run them fast in the spring time ?
I thought fish were lethargic in the spring
You are all lucky iver there , here in Ontario , we don't have "Spring" Musky fishing lol
got a question for you...do musky secrete a similar stinky goop as pike?
Yes. Yes they do haha
Are you ever in the northwoods of Wisconsin like minocqua area? First year kayak muskie fishing!
@ Dave stapleman.... Isn't there a giant wolf that roams around the forests of Wisconsin?
@@vuelee5313 - several!
i scored some KVD 8.0s recently to save $ so hopefully they can get it done like the llugen short
Nothing quite compared to the 22shorts... you can fish them in 6-15’ very effectively , let me know how you do!
I just couldnt drop so much on my first musky excursion. But will do! 🤙🏾
i completely understand that!

Do you use a fluro leader on the 22 short? Would a 130# be to heavy? Thanks!
130 would be a bit heavy.. I find it pairs well with 80lb- strong enough without killing the action
@@kristinefischer2289 Thanks soo much! Hope to see some new videos soon
They are coming! Thanks man!
I was in Shreveport but didn't get to go fishing much now I'm sad.
What rod are you using to throw the .22 short and lipless?
I throw it on a very beefy, Heavy moderate fast rod. Any stout crank rod with some flex will work!
Kristine, I can ascertain from this piece on the Musky. That you know a lot about this part of the sport.
