  • Should be rated explicit

    I can’t listen with my kids in the car. Show has gotten more and more vulgar. That might be what some listeners like but it’s not for me. Update: when other listens shared the same concern, they were made fun of. Also, there are a lot of fake reviews propping up this rating. Find a different show.

  • Review

    Quite a bit of nonsense and musky shop product promotion but can be informative and good for a laugh. Herbeck is a particularly good guest on here. I feel bad for Jay sometimes, ha ha. Steve is a good podcast host.

  • Very Informative

    Love the show fellas. Long time bass fisherman who’s decided to chase muskies as of June this year. Listening to your masterclasses has opened my eyes. Both structure masterclasses have hands down been the most informative/instructional podcasts I’ve ever listened to. Thank you

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

354: Late Fall Musky Fishing: Mid-Cast Triggers, Sucker Tactics & the 50-Degree Shallow Bite
Q: Do you have any suggestion for that situation?
For muskies that follow a lure but stop at a consistent depth, Paul recommends identifying where they are approaching from, casting farther to create more working room, and varying depth and retrieve. He suggests letting a weighted bait fall freely, ripping it upward, and mixing in subtle head kicks.
354: Late Fall Musky Fishing: Mid-Cast Triggers, Sucker Tactics & the 50-Degree Shallow Bite
Q: Post frontal, late fall, first actual cold water of the year, 50, what is your top down approach for these conditions, starting with depth ranges to go to baits?
Paul recommends starting in shallow feeding areas adjacent to deep water, particularly where current and neck-downs concentrate baitfish. He suggests working shallow early, then moving out and back in, and trying shallow rubber, glides, and blades while using electronics and observations to refine the pattern.
345: Hunting Mega Muskies with Dr. Bob: How to Catch the Biggest Muskies
Q: How do you interpret the idea of megas traveling in pairs or in a 'milk run' of movement?
Megas appear to move in patterns that resemble patrols, with occasional pairings and cross-basin movements; the lake's structure and forage availability shape these movements and create the opportunities for a bite.
345: Hunting Mega Muskies with Dr. Bob: How to Catch the Biggest Muskies
Q: What patterns or factors do you think are most important for megas to be caught?
They seem to require a combination of maximum depth, highly complex structure, and proximity to forage; without forage, even the best structure can be an empty gesture, and timing relative to fronts matters a lot.
343: Musky Patterning and Dialing In: How to Capitalize When Muskies Turn On
Q: What leaders are you using for vertical jigging and why?
The hosts prefer straight wire leaders or multi-strand wire leaders over fluoro for vertical jigging because fluoro can fail under bite-offs; they also emphasize avoiding tubes and snaps for vertical jigs due to head-on drops and binding issues.
