Late September, Rodney from Columbus, Ohio landed three Muskie within 24 hours on Lake St. Clair’s Northern Anchor Bay using this lure.
Rodney, along with his brother, and good friend cast for Muskie at the entrance to the North Channel in 10-15′ of water just of Lake St. Clair (see map below).
According to a study of Muskie behavior performed by the University of Illinois, “They’re very tough sit-and-wait predators, which means they’ll just camp out under a log or at the bottom of the river until something comes right by, then they’ll burst out to take the prey. More exploratory muskies won’t strike because they are roaming around the lake trying to find shelter or get more comfortable.
“If you’re an angler going around the lake, just casting randomly won’t necessarily mean you’ll catch a muskie. You have to get your lure perfectly in the face of a muskie of the appropriate behavior type, likely that is sedentary and poised to attack, to be able to initiate a strike.”
Hence the old saying, the Fish of 10,000 Casts.
