| How do you approach deep breaklines in the fall? Cast, troll, try both? What are you looking for specifically in a good breakline (i.e. close proximity to creek channel, nearby cover such as wood, weeds, rock, mouth of a bay or cove)? Thanks. I'm determined to get serious doing some late fall fishing this year, and in the past have not had any success going to my early-mid fall spots which are typically shallow. | |

| I would say one key thing to look for are features to a deep breakline...over the last couple years I've done quite a bit of deep breakline fishing, where your boat can be in 25-35 ft of water and you are less than a long cast from shore..one thing I have noticed over and over is where there is an underwater point that maybe you can't even see from the contour of the shoreline or just barely see it. the ones with the larger rocks on it, or something else to hold baitfish/muskies are best. I fish a stretch of deep break on a lake that is about 200 yards long...there are 3 small underwater points jetting out from it and one main pt that has 3 pts coming out of it...2 of the pts have small rock and featureless more or less..the pt with 3 pts I consistently get and see fish on. one other pt. happens to have a large fish crib on it...with some downed timber on the adjacent shoreline...that one is consistent too
so to answer your question. look for the deep breaks that have something going on under the surface, I don't feel just a straight featureless stretch is all that good...but it's the underwater pts, boulder pilings, tree's, cribs etc that hold the fish
working them I throw mainly baits that get down a ways, big joes, dawgs, triple d's, even fuzzy duzzits I experimented with last fall and will do more of it this fall. hope this helps | |

| Good response, thanks. As a follow up, do you think it is better to sit out deep and cast towards the shore, or sit shallow and cast out deep over the break? As we get into late fall I would think casting to the deep side would be more productive. | |
