Great content as always Chas. Love the seminars and the information you provide. I will be applying what I learned about live bait on the water this weekend. Thanks. Keep up the excellent work. Much appreciated.
Brandon, Thank you so much for the kind words brother! Really appreciate it! Keep me posted on your success and I am really glad that you have found these vlogs to be educational and helpful. More on the way!
Thanks for making the videos, Chas. I think it would be a good idea to make a video just on turnover, and I would try to make it as technical as you can with your educational background. That would be great since it would likely provide new information we haven't read in musky books. Most musky fisherman know what turnover is, but it's always great to hear someone else go in depth on it and share their experience.
Thanks so much for the kind words! I love the idea of making a more scientific video on turnover and what is actually taking place. Like you said, it is a very misunderstood ecological cycle that would make for a great vlog! Tight lines!
Great stuff!. I think the term you were looking for during the tolling segment is "dive curves." Absolutely crucial to trolling success. Best of luck this fall!
Bob, thanks man! Really appreciate the kind words!! And yes, that is exactly what I was trying to think about. Hope you nail a PB this fall! And if there are any vlog topics you'd like me to discuss please let me know!
Chas! Huge fan, been watching Joe Bucher since I was young and now your videos. Just want to say thanks and good call on this part two, it answered a lot of questions I had left over after the first. Looking forward to more of these lessons! Cheers - AG
I am taking my daughter up to Lac Seul late next month. She wants to catch a big muskie and we in Alabama aren't very adapt at it, but I am learning a lot from this video. We'll spend a day on Eagle throwing/trolling for muskie and hope to catch her one. Thanks for the info
Musky Mastery thank you, been welding 20 years it's starting to go. I'd like to book a trip with you next season. I'll get ahold of you over the winter and we can plan a trip next year. I'm going to try and hire guides next season and not buy baits. I'd like to learn more and sharpen my skills
Chas, as always, TOP. NOTCH! Excellent job. Information that is easily replicated. You mentioned Depth Raiders, which I have had success with. As you know, I am packing for my trip to the Northwoods. Perhaps you could offer some additional lure types that are effective in the Classic period. Also what type of lures should I leave home. Thanks, Dude. See you soon.
Joe thanks so much dude! Well first thing I will say about fall lures is this: don't stop throwing blades until there is ice on the lake! Far too many anglers put their bucktails away in the fall, thinking that it is too cold. This would be a major mistake! Slow-rolling blades if one of my all-time fav techniques in the fall. I would also not leave for your trip without a glidebait (like the GlideRaider) or some large "slab" minnow baits (like the mag Shally). And of course, probably my best late-fall lure would be the DepthRaider!
The consistency factor is oxygen. Baitfish will gravitate towards deeper water because it provides the most amount of oxygen during turnover. That brings the muskies out to deeper water. Once water is turned over, baitfish gravitate back towards shallow water. That’s when I start fishing break lines hard
I fish a small northern Minnesota river there's a 30' hole and that's max depth and it's the widest part of the river 200x100 yards roughly the other holes are small second deepest being around 20 and a couple more at 15 and several around the 10' mark. I like fishing it cause the rocks and shallow spots keeps the mass of fisherman away I rarely see anyone else and have marked I think pretty much every rock b and sketchy spot and can make it thru without issue even during the doubt we just had. Question is being a small river and with current is there a turn over? Last year I trolled a lot big crank baits on the break and the middle and everywhere else of the 30' hole graphing random walleyes, eelpout, redhorses similar to late summer but seen the least amount of muskys. Trolling slow 1.2-2.0 mph large lethargic lures casted bull dawgs long pauses slow retrieves. Should I focus more on the 10' holes and 15' holes this type of water? I guess I'm going to this year water is already in upper 50s. Just curious to where you'd start the hunt? Oh and great video I enjoy all of them and they're very informative great job 👍 tight lines
could your deep movement be a forage base, 1)ciscos will start getting higher in water column, 2) crappies and perch start dropping into basins but may suspend due to equal temps?
I fish in northern wisconsin Boulder junction area and we have had luck past few years with 13 inch suckers out in open water but got lucky i think we”d have better luck in shore right? We go october 16th through october 22nd
Just came back home from a trip to Boulder Junction, first lake I hit that is normally clear looked like coffee water and musky weeds where brown, I assume beginning of turn over. No life found anywhere. Next favorite lake, clear water with beautiful green musky weeds still no sign of life, no nothing. Went back again the next day because things were looking promising. But found the water in some areas of the lake but not all starting to get cloudy. Three days fishing full moon phase with major feeding period at mid day. Not one follow. I have never been able to connect during turn over.
Steve, this is frustrating. Did you check for "life" using your electronics? This can often be a telltale sign that you should stay in the area - regardless of what the weeds look like. The weeds do not need to be "green" to have fish in them. Just matters where the bait fish are holding. Sometimes you might be surprised that they hold in what looks like "crap" weed cover. All depends on where the food is. Follow the food.
Feel like im in school again, only this time I’m paying attention. Thanks man!
This one made me laugh😂😂 it’s true though
Jeremy! DUDE! Thanks so much man! Class is in session! Really glad you are enjoying this series.
Thanks dude!!! Get that notebook out!
Excellent tutorial Dude.
Thanks Mitchell!

As always, Great stuff Chas! You always seem to touch on something, in the 40 minutes, that we all need to hear.
Ron, thank you so much for the kind words dude! More vlogs coming and let me know if there is a particular topic you'd like me to discuss!
3D! That’s next level stuff Dude!!! I really like the content in this rather timely series.
Thanks John, but I really could not have done it without you! A new vlog coming out this week... and I will try to zoom in on that white board! :)
@@MuskyMastery Glad to help in any way that I can!
"AWESOME SEMINAR" HOT FALL TIPS! THANX CHAZZIE"

Thankyou new to musky fishing in prime northwoods wisco area. I try so hard but just haven't even had s follow up yet. Ty
Keep at it! And most importantly, continue studying! Ask me questions, watch the content. Keep casting. You will catch one soon!!!
Shout out to PA! woo hoo.
Thanks for putting this together. Good info.
Much appreciated!
Matt, I'd never forget about you amazing folks in PA!! Thanks as always brother! Tight lines!

Great lesson Mr. Martin! Love hearing ya share your knowledge.
Thanks Cole! Really appreciate it dude! More on the way!
Love the series, watched the first one twice. If i could make a happy suggestion, zoom into the board so i can see it a little better.
Jim, thanks dude!!! Yes, I will be grabbing another camera for the zoom into the whiteboard - I'm on it! :) The next one will have a close-up!!

@@MuskyMastery Thank you...and of course put the split rings on your depth raiders. Check out your text message.
I should’ve majored in Muskies 101, Thanks Dude!
LOL... yea that would have been an awesome class to take in college :)
the 5 star thumbnail 😂😂😂
LOL!! Hey that took a lot of work to get the figured out lolll
OK teach, rivers next please :)
Great suggestion! You got it! I will put it on my calendar.
@@MuskyMastery Nice! ...and this teacher actually interacts with students! What a novelty these days :) Thanks!

Stavie, I definitely agree with you on this. Deep water sanctuaries offer more dissolved oxygen and more consistent temperature.
Congrats 👏
Thanks David!!
the dude lets friggen go
haha thanks man! More whiteboard videos coming this winter... let me know if there are any topics you'd be interested in.

Thank you!
could your deep movement be a forage base, 1)ciscos will start getting higher in water column, 2) crappies and perch start dropping into basins but may suspend due to equal temps?
I think you are right on the money with these ideas. Yes - absolutely. Let's discuss....
I fish in northern wisconsin Boulder junction area and we have had luck past few years with 13 inch suckers out in open water but got lucky i think we”d have better luck in shore right? We go october 16th through october 22nd
That is pretty cool - smaller suckers in open water. I'd love to hear more about that!
Man I needed this great content. Glad you mentioned ohio in there too lol.
Thanks so much Justin!!! I am so pumped that you enjoyed the vlog! More coming soon! Let me know what you want to hear about
