Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

385 - Taylor Flannery - Topwater Frenzy & Fall Musky Fishing
Q: What is your topwater of choice?
Taylor discusses that bait choice is lake- and condition-dependent, but he has favored newer, smaller-profile topwater and walk-the-dog styles early in the season, with current emphasis on topwater and prop baits depending on water conditions.
385 - Taylor Flannery - Topwater Frenzy & Fall Musky Fishing
Q: What has surprised you most this season?
Taylor notes that trolling has been surprisingly effective for him since joining the guide scene, and the topwater bite has been exceptionally strong this year, with many big fish coming on topwaters and prop-style baits.
384 - Chase Gibson - Husky Medussas, Bucktails, and Gear Secrets
Q: How important is the reel choice when ripping large rubber, and which model do you trust most?
Reel choice is everything for abuse on big rubber; the Tranks 500 with high gear or power gear is essential for keeping the lure moving and delivering enough slack, with the anti-reverse ensuring longevity.
384 - Chase Gibson - Husky Medussas, Bucktails, and Gear Secrets
Q: What's the main reason you shifted to the Husky Medusa in weed bites?
The bigger, louder action and drag of the Husky Medusa allows the bait to stay above the weeds and trigger a stronger reaction in fish that won't chase smaller bucktails or topwaters, especially as water warms into the mid-70s.
381 - Jeff Hanson - Late Summer Tactics, Spoons, Stocking & Tournament Responsibility
Q: Jeff, what's your thoughts on the whole Musky's Inc. thing?
The guest expresses strong agreement that local chapters are essential for stocking and funding, and that funds should be directed to the specific fisheries they serve, rather than being treated as a national umbrella without local impact.
