    To make a fishing podcast can be hard. To catch a Muskie. Can be difficult. To me these guys are killing it at the impossible!! Connecting the boat and listening to these guys headed to the lakes is so fun!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

390 - Steve Genson - End-of-Season Musky Roundup: Warm Falls, Turnovers & Tackle
Q: What kind of grade would you give this season versus other seasons? A, B, C type of a deal?
Genson grades the season a B. Action and size were good, while numbers and fall fishing were average; June was especially productive, but there were fewer large tiger muskies and the warm conditions weakened the sucker bite.
390 - Steve Genson - End-of-Season Musky Roundup: Warm Falls, Turnovers & Tackle
Q: Are all the lakes in your area turned over? Are any of them turned over? What's the status up there of that?
Genson says the lakes had turned over after a cold, rainy, windy spell. Fish were moving from shallow flats toward steeper breaks and harder bottoms, with more fish expected to move deeper as temperatures fell.
389 - Austin Wiggerman - Clear Water Tactics
Q: Do you think that's another factor that plays into it?
Wiggerman agrees that Lake Geneva's depth adds to the challenge. He says anglers may need to position their boats in deep water and rethink what counts as shallow, since musky structure and fish movements occur much deeper than on many familiar fisheries.
389 - Austin Wiggerman - Clear Water Tactics
Q: What's the reason behind that? I mean, it's weird because I think those, I don't know, I guess I'm not spoiling anything, but before those muskies became decent size, you kept hearing about it, like everyone was talking about it, like Geneva, Geneva, Geneva, right? And so I assumed that once those muskies got bigger, that place would get pounded. But you're telling me differently.
Wiggerman attributes Lake Geneva's relatively light musky fishing pressure to heavy recreational traffic in summer, its very clear and deep water, and the time needed to learn the fishery. He contrasts it with smaller, darker systems where anglers may encounter muskies more readily.
386 - Rich Reinert - Crankbaits, Suicks & Top Lure Picks
Q: What makes crankbaits especially effective right now, and how should a typical angler use them during the fall transition?
Crankbaits are a versatile tool that can be used as dive and rise baits to work through vegetation and along edges; for fall, focus on targeting the shallow edges and use a variety, including the nine-inch plastics and wood models, to cover different depths and avoid weeds. The key is to touch vegetation and then let the bait float up, pulling it down again to trigger strikes.
