Posts: 169 Location: Houlton, WI | Hey, ive been spending most off my time this fall hunting and havent done much fishing. Im hoping to get out this weekend and i was wondering, have big baits been doing anything. Are there any specific baits or colors that have been working for you? | ||

I hope that changes as they did chase suicks and jerk/glide baits at the end of last season. Maybe it's the weather and the fact that were able to throw baits all summer. I can't even get them to follow a bulldog. Save your money and buy suckers, Netman | ||

Posts: 1055 Location: Medford, WI | Cole, We've actually been having the opposite results as Netman. This fall, artificials have been outfishing suckers for us which is very rare for this time of year. The past 3 weekends out, we've had at least one and usually two suckers out, and have only gotten one musky on them (2 other strikes); however, we have gotten 5 muskies on 11" Curly Sues over the same time period and lost one on a 10" Jake. I don't know what it is, but the Curly Sues are outfishing suckers for us so far. As far as colors go, a walleye-like pattern has been the hottest with some yellow in it as well. Hope you're able to get out and net a few. -Jake Bucki | ||

Do many of you guys use bucktails/topwaters up until freeze up? All the reading that I have done, it seems like jerkbaits/crankbaits/suckers get the nod. What are your thoughts? | |||

Posts: 182 Location: musky waters of SE, WI | DCGs have worked for me until the end of the year. The key i think is to reel them just enough to get the blades spinning. Most of the time im using Super Models and slow rolling them. Of course i use jerkbaits as well. Everyone has there own opinions, if your catching fish on a jerkbait or crankbait your probably not going to change to a bucktail and see if that works. | ||

Posts: 103 | I have been having a lot of action this fall on Double 10's and 13's. I use them the same way Ryan does. Cast them out and slowly reel them in. Get the bait as deep as possible, and make sure you figure 8 after every cast. If the fish are shallow try jerbaits and glide baits. | ||
