MATCH the HATCH for MORE MUSKIES! S7.E17

"Matching the hatch" is an excellent strategy for catching more muskies because it taps into the predator's natural feeding instincts. Muskies are opportunistic feeders, and by mimicking the forage they prefer during a specific time of the season, you can significantly increase your chances of success. The key to this approach is identifying what the muskies are feeding on at any given time-whether it's perch, suckers, or other baitfish. Once you know their preferred prey, selecting a lure that replicates the size, color, and movements of that forage can be the difference between a slow day and a trophy catch. By closely "matching the hatch," you can make your offering more convincing and hopefully, it will help you triggering a muskie’s instinct to strike!

I’m going to put that grape flame to the task up in lake Vermilion, they hav a lot of perch so contrast is what what I’m going for.👍🏻thzz as no’s Chas

[@MuskyMastery]

@@frankmuzquizsr.2010 Frank that sounds like a solid plan - and also on Vermilion I would consider throwing the 700 size too! Keep us posted!

Beautiful dark fish Chas!

[@MuskyMastery]

@@Jon_Boat_Fishing thank you! I absolutely love the darker colored ones - very cool. Probably more genetics than anything but water clarity and holding depth definitely play a factor

[@jameschurch1277]

Awesome catch on the grape flame! Ive found those contrasting colors to work very well also, earlier summer when the bluegills are in spawning near shallow cover. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@MuskyMastery]

@@jameschurch1277 thanks James! I agree with you on this observation for sure - size of the lure could also be part of the equation too! More content on the way

[@davidhardt9924]

great tip match the hatch or the abundance of summer schools. Nice to have a great net man. Maximize your positives, moon contrast and keep at it always. Keep em coming Thanks for all the hard work

[@MuskyMastery]

@@davidhardt9924 all well said Dave! Sometimes it pays to “fit in” so that muskies find it natural to eat!
