Hey guys, (especially you HULBERT!!!!)
When do you break out the Fuzzy Duzzits???
Is it a forage location based thing, or a temperature thing??
Last year, we didn't start till the trolling bite slacked off, when the bait got WAAAAY deep. I'm wondering if we are missing out by not trying it earlier.
Can you help a brother out???

Thanks!!

The panfish head deep as soon as the water cools, and so do many types of baitfish. I'd start looking for suspeneded pods of bait in mid October to early November in the upper midwest most years, and try jigging at that point. In fact, on some systems, there are 'deep' fish all year, and this is probably the most underutilized technique out there to put those fish in the Frabill. Anyone see Jordan Weeks' presentation on the Manitowish?

I know, Howie, shhhhhh...

Jigging works all year round, but it especially shines in the Fall as baitfish stack up in pods. I don't have the patience to do it often enough

Just drop a Fuzzy Duzzit down in and around the pod and you should have some eager muskies grabbing it

Mike Hulbert just wrote a nice article in Musky Hunter describing this technique
