Location: Williamstown, WV | This may be a dumb question, but I honestly don't know. While reading the latest issue of Musky Hunter it said, "casting and trolling themore vertical structures," okay now my question is what is a vertical structure? Is that things such as trees? Thanks alot guys.

Location: oswego, il | Shawn, they were probably talking about rock walls or very steep droppoffs but knowing the exact article and who wrote it may shed better light on the subject. |

Location: Williamstown, WV | Todd,
thanks for the response. It was "7 Degrees of Musky Location" by Bob Mehsikomer and Kyle Brickson. It's under the 67: Fall Transition part of the article. Thanks again.

| Hey Shawn, that is a really great article and vertical structure general means steep granite rock walls on Canadian Shield lakes, but down here south of the border, it could be the original river bed in a flowage or a sand flat or other bottom that steeply breaks.
Trees (and sunken towns if you're bass fishing in Mexico) can qualify I guess depending on the situation.

| The later fall gets along, the more the sharper drops will factor in up here. Not just those classic walls, either. The "up and down" sides of a shoal, island faces and spots on a breakline that drop the fastest. See a lot more fish that rise straight up for a bait in the fall than fish that approach from the rear, too. |

| For me its anything that can be considered as STEEP! I seem to see that later it gets the more the fish move up/down then side/toside! This is the main reason ALOT of anglers seem to loose there fish in the fall. I find they really move to the spot on the spot and travel very little! |

Vertical Structure?
