Re: Suckers for bait
I use creek chubs for em'.. I hit up small steams "creeks" and just fish like I wanna catch trout.. real small split when needed n a squiggler worm from the bank under leaves.. Hit the same spot u would for trout like deep pools a lot of time in small streams its a undercut hole by a tree root ball u can get lucky n they'll be at a bridge rite by the parking spot.. I use the creek chubs cuz there aggressive and easier to catch then suckers.. also, there really shinny n silvery good flash.. Why wait till ice??? musky metabolism is at its highest rite now.. big fish gotta eat.. PERSONALY.. I know my ability to detect strikes.. with my version of a quick set rig soon as I get bit im tryin to rip his lips off.. Either the hooks set or rip the bait outta the mouth and its going to make the fish hit it twice as hard a split second later win win.. I think when they commit to eat its game over...if they feel a prick n wont bite again.. u didn't try n rip his face off u tried to set the hook..
