Underwater Musky Action Now's the time of year when the diehard musky anglers start getting antsy. The holidays are behind us and we are stuck inside waiting for the long, cold winter to call it quits (unless you're lucky enough to winter down south).... We haven't fished for muskies in WAY too long, and we're circling Groundhogs Day on our calendars. 😂 Maybe you need...

Jer's Livebait Setup There's been many different interpretations on the "livebait rig" over the years – quick strikes, single hooks, Dahlberg rig, etc. This week, we stumbled on a VERY well-written In-Fish article from Cory Schmidt talkin' livebait fishing and breakin' down Jeremy Smith's go-to fall sucker rig. It's definitely an interesting setup if you've only ever used traditional stuff.... Here's a quick illustration of...
