My top Fall Lures

Fall musky fishing can be very rewarding but for sure is the most difficult. Not only are you fishing a tough species but you have to be prepared for all the elements of your surroundings. Great looking days that look promising, only turn out to be a bust when the North winds decide to show up. Your gear is pushed to the limits as well as your physical well being. Is it worth it? Well for those of us who have had success in a trophy fish, of course it is.

When fishing in the fall my tactics and lure choices change. All my top water baits are put away and the jerkbaits, gliders, and suicks come out to play. I was asked earlier on what I like to throw the most in the fall. So here it is my list of top 4 baits to throw.

Super Model, BullDawg, Suick, Gooch Banana Bait

• 1- Suick- You can never go wrong with a suick at any time of year. If you can physically throw one I highly suggest it. Match your suick color with the bait fish and retrieve slower to mimic an injured fish.

• 2-Bulldawg- These lures just catch fish. There are many colors and styles along with sizes for a person to choose from. If you are going to throw the Pounders, make sure that you have the right fishing rod to handle it. A slow retrieve with a pause is usually the best way to bring those big fish to hit.

• Twitch Baits- These baits range from Crane baits, Big Game Twitch baits and Gliders. There are a lot of different one on the market. I like to throw some of the oldies like the Gooch Banana bait. It can be used as a surface or under water bait, these are hard baits to find as they haven't been produced in years. If I had any other choice it would be a Big Game Twitch bait. They mimic an injured fish and come in many different colors.

• Double Blade Bucktails- There are many manufacturers of double blade bucktails these days. I say throw one that you can afford and match it with the hot color of the lake. Even if it is fall, the muskies will go after a bucktail. It is not bad to change your tactic and go shallow every once and a while.

Hope this bit of information helps you out in catching the big one. Let us know what favorite fall lure you like to throw. Good luck!
