my musky season is over, but now that I am reflecting on it, i need some advice

lets say i get a lazy follow (saw many times this season with bucktails and topwater) where the fish follows in pretty slowly and pretty far behind the lure, and lazily turns away during the beginning of the figure O. fish doesn't take off fast so it is still probably in the general area.

how do you guys change your game to get that fish into a more active, aggressive and biting mood? I fish alone a lot of the time so not having the opportunity to have two different anglers with two different lures going at once directed toward that fish, i struggle with deciding to change the lure to something else or to stick with the one it followed on. Any strategies you guys use?

Thanks for the info guys. Bobby's Corner is usually hit or miss. Nothing like spending a quick hundo at Bobby's. I'll look into AM and see if Herbie and his gang can assist. If anyone else has a sure thing over the border, I'm all ears.

Try speeding it up a little! Switch direction of your bucktail on the retreive too! (Move your rod tip from one side to the other)

Mark fish on GPS wait and come back to them fish at moon rise or moon set!
