Location: Illinois		Place bait in an area where Jerk roams.

Carry a poop bag along with you.

Practice , practice, practice.
Use a steel leader without the ball bearing swivel- just line to leader.
Practice, practice, practice.

Location: Oswego, IL		Make sure the glass of whisky is full, and she is ugly

Dont tie the leash to your handle bars

make sure you let it work itself as well. snap......wait....snap.....wait......snap... 12 oclock to 5pm.

Pete Mania's "Musky Lure Techniques" Vol 3 video does a real nice job of showing you how to use most major bait styles including WTD & Jerkbaits (gliders & Dive/Rise). John Gillespie antics are a bonus. Must have video for beginners IMHO. Most comprehensive education bait video I've seen.

while walking the dog muskie fishing i use short swift jerks with the rod. As for bassin, short jerks on the reel handle works well.
