Mastering Muskies: Beginner to Expert! Whiteboard Muskellunge Education | S7.E34

[@FoxFishing4K]

I rarely fish musky, but i am always open to learning more about species.

[@MuskyMastery]

@@FoxFishing4K I love it! Musky hunting is similar to bass fishing on steroids, and then we just add a figure-8 to the end of the cast haha. I also now can’t stop figure-8’ing while multi-species fishing now

School is in session! Lets go!!! Thanks for all the info, bud👍

[@MuskyMastery]

@@whitetail229 absolutely!!! So pumped you enjoyed it - more on the way soon dude

[@joehofman2956]

Chas! As always your passion is what drives it. When you have passion and knowledge, you have success. One of the baits not mentioned was "The Meat". It is somewhat seasonal but also a great producer. Perhaps you can touch on that. I will anxiously wait for the next one. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.. P.S. What did you cook for dinner?

[@MuskyMastery]

@@joehofman2956 hahahaha we made salmon and zucchini! And thank you as always for your support and I’m pumped you enjoyed it. Live bait will come later in the series when we talk musky movements

Having been a musky hunter since I was 16(I’m 43 now)I know there is always something new to learn about the sport and the fish themselves! Thanks so much Chas for your wealth of knowledge and I will always try and apply what I learn in your videos, Rock On Dude!

[@MuskyMastery]

@@bionick4281 Nick that literally makes my day man!!! Thanks so much DUDE! You are a student of the sport. Thanks for the great comment - more in the way and let me know if you’d like to see anything specific in a video too.

[@Arms08]

Beginner. But thanks to your vids Chas, the whiteboard is great on the offseason.

[@MuskyMastery]

@@Arms08 thanks Adam! But don’t worry….class will be picking up quickly dude

[@deanmentjes7774]

Great stuff, Chas - thanks!! I'm so happy for this new series. Off season is the time for reflection and learning, and this is perfect. Looking forward to what you have planned. On this first episode, I couldn't agree more on the 7'6" LEMXHF. 2024 was the year of the gliders and jerkbaits for me, and that rod is my new favorite, by a lot actually. I have mine paired with a Tranx 301 high speed reel. Light and well-balanced, and I can make the lures dance so effectively. Thanks again for the educational videos!

[@MuskyMastery]

Thanks! I'm really pumped to hear that! The LEM76XHF was also my "rod" of the fall season as the GlideRaider really came through for me as the temps cooled. Episode #2 will be out next week -- "reading water - how to know where to go!"

Chas - great episode and I am looking forward to the next 6 episodes! Two questions. First, for reels the default in the discussion was baitcasting reels, but what about the higher capacity spinning reels? Also, for rods similarly the default was baitcasting rods, but what about longer spinning rods. As an example, I regularly use a 8'6" salmon steelhead heavy/fast spinning rod for large northern pike fishing and they perform very well. Perhaps, in one of the future episodes you can briefly touch on the reel type and associated rods (bait casting equipment versus spinning equipment). Thanks again. Andy

[@MuskyMastery]

@@AndrewMorris-md6dw Andy thanks so much man! I really appreciate the question - I will be sure to incorporate trophy caliber spinning setups and rods that are associated with them in my next project installment! Looking forward to it and please, continue to add ideas or anything you’d like to see on the show!

[@AndrewMorris-md6dw]

@@MuskyMastery - Thanks again Chas! Appreciated and looking forward to learning so much more from you and the viewers. Andy

[@davidhardt9924]

great coverage any beginner advice on leaders?

[@MuskyMastery]

@@davidhardt9924 thanks Dave!!! I will incorporate that into the next session dude.

[@coltonfranke6800]

Can’t forget about the deadliness of rubber baits

[@MuskyMastery]

@@coltonfranke6800 I agree - it has been a while since I’ve fished rubber as I work closely with JBO but, I think I will throw that into the future discussion as well. Thanks!!
