2 Days hunting RIVER MUSKY- Late Fall & Cold Temperatures (6 musky caught)

6 musky over 2 days - that is what I call success. I hope you guys enjoy this video. I had a ton of fun filming and fishing it. It was super cold and super windy but we got it done!
In respect of local anglers I do NOT name any river/stream that I fish. Please respect my "no-name" policy and do NOT post the names of any spots in the comments. Thank you for understanding!

Love it! Man what a nice fish on such a tough cold day,!

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Michael Frees Yeah, definitely was a fun catch. Love getting fish on my solo trips!

[@jimd4504]

You know this just makes we want to hunt Musky with you next year! Awesome video

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Jim D They are out there! Just hard to find :) I hope you are doing well!

[@donmiles9083]

Beautiful video! Even if you caught nothing, it would have been excellent! Catching fish was icing on the cake and makes it easier to justify the effort. No people, and beautiful scenery...Win, win. Thanks for taking us with you.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Don Miles It was a fun day for sure. I love getting out one on one with nature!

[@mikewasniewski4048]

Musky hitting five seconds after a 65 dollar lure hitting a rock...Priceless!

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Mike Wasniewski Oh, I know. I was a little miffed about that rock. It probably reacted due to the sound though so maybe that's why I got the strike.

[@mikewasniewski4048]

20:37... You saved him! Good job!

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Mike Wasniewski Better to snip some hooks and save the fish's life for sure!

[@jasonwolfe6266]

I've always had the best luck muskie fishing in the crappiest weather. Something with overcast and wind just gets the bite going

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Jason Wolfe I just like wearing short sleeves and not freezing when I dip my hand in the water. Ha!

[@jasonwolfe6266]

@@HaightsWanderings I've been fishing the U.P. since I was a child mostly the eastern portion 3 generations of family fishing

[@daveg4353]

HOLY CRAP, I just finally noticed that you caught that musky on a spinning reel do you use spinning tackle for musky often?

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Dave G I prefer spinning tackle. As long as you are throwing smaller gear it works fine. That mini-medusa on 50Lb braid with a solid metal leader is money!

[@daveg4353]

@@HaightsWanderings what pound test are you usually fishing with for muskies with spinning reels? or are you more or less fishing with bass tackle with the hopes of catching a musky?

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Dave G No, I use only musky gear. 50 LB braid with true musky metal leaders. It's not bass gear.

[@daveg4353]

@@HaightsWanderings so, in other word, you’re breaking all “the rules”. Nice, I haven’t finished musky in about 10 years but I never ever even thought to put musky tackle on a spinning, reel. cool. The rule is you have to learn to enjoy, picking apart “bird nests” in casting gear.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Dave G Yeah, I have never gotten into fishing with baitcasters. The spinning rod and reel I am using is definitely heavy enough to deal with musky and musky lures.

[@wramsey193]

What editing and camera do you use beautiful pictures.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Wramsey193 Honestly I am not sure what it's called. It's one of Cannon's mirrorless DSLRs. Not sure of the name.

[@wramsey193]

What editing program are you using also?

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Wramsey193 Premiere Pro is what I use

[@greggaunt8923]

What size medussa is that? I have not seen one that size, good looking lure.

[@donmiles9083]

It's a mini medusa.

[@donmiles9083]

Mini Medusa...(Unless I'm mistaken)

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Greg Gaunt Yeah, it's the Mini as Don said below. I don't quite like the micros and find the mini to be a good size for a few different applications.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Don Miles You are right!

[@kevinpauly6467]

what rod and reel setup are you using

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Kevin Pauly It's a St. Croix 8 ft XH with a Shimano 40 real. I am not sure which Shimano Sedona 400 reel

[@indyplanted]

Wozzers!

[@jasonw4053]

6 muskie in a day, no wonder you keep your places secret! Gotta keep the trolls like me away.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Jason W It was a two day outing but still it was tons of fun!

[@jasonw4053]

@@HaightsWanderings six muskie in two days is still outrageous to me! I've got a spot here in Ohio that occasionally has muskie action like this, it's a bit of a secret. Anyone fishing that spot communicates in code...like nods, maybe holding up a finger or two... If you ask what people are fishing for they say "bass," if you even say the word "muskie" they'll run you outta town.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Jason W That's super cool. I always keep the names of locations secret.
