Great info!! Stop apologizing for being you. We follow you, we watch you, we believe in you because of who you are and how you do it. Keep bringing us this Great Information!!
Ron Heller wow dude.... that is really kind of you to say that! 😎. I’ll be working on part 2 of this vlog this week and also got some great ideas from other folks in their comments too
DUDE! Thank you so much for these educational videos. I find the science just as interesting as the fishing itself (and more knowledge should hopefully mean more fish).
ibanez2010 dude we are on the exact same page. A big Part of what I love about fishing is the science involved, trying to understand the complex community and ecosystem interactions
J fetherston lol I know right! I tried to incorporate some basic aspects that many of our lakes here in northern Wisconsin have. A few folks have thought it was a lake they knew but honestly, I just drew a large weed flat, some rock humps and a neck down area. Many different lakes that I fish have these characteristics
Awe man, here I thought i now had it all figured out 😬.. well, minus one rock pile its still spot on! Great presentation, i took a lot from it. You’ve probably fished the lake, it is split in two by the forest / oneida co. line ...
drum2little thanks Ron! Really appreciate it. I love your creativity as I didn’t draw any particular lake for this vlog but if my drawing reminds you of a familiar spot, all the better!
Im in TN and this just helped me very much. I think with the Generations on some lakes here in early fall our fish push back to the backwater weeds until Winter.
Chas, OMG! Fantastic vlog. You should have seen me. As you know I am about to make my pilgrimage from California to the Northwoods. I had all of my maps on the table trying to relate to the points you were showing for the Classic fall bite. Now I have highlighter marks all over them. In part 2 are you going to speak of the types of lures as you did early in the vlog? What an education.. Great teacher. Can't wait for part 2. Thanks, DUDE!
Joe Hofman thank you so much dude! I am really excited to hear about your musky hunting coming up this fall! Yes, in part 2 I will be discussing the classic and then late fall periods and the Lures I like to throw!
Might be a bit pricey but perhaps when the school district puts in an order you can pick one up at their discount as part of that order. A SmartBoard might be a good tool to have if you want to continue to provide illustrations during your Vlogs. Thanks for continuing to put out your Vlogs. They provide great information for those of us that are not seasoned veterans.
Awesome Video! I like the visual aspect rather than just talking as well. Are there any other books that you would recommend reading? I'm going to try and pick up a copy of the one you mentioned in the video. Thanks so much for putting this together!
Chas! Thank you so much for all of your videos, they are all so helpful I dont think I've seen one where I havn't learned anything but I am left with a question for you after this video! I started fishing the St.Lawrence river and its tributaries in July for muskie and your tips and tactics have led to 6 muskies in the bag between me and my brother and we have had eyes on several other fish. All but one have been after dark but lately as we are coming into this seasonal change our action has dwindled down to nothing at night. Have you noticed a decline in musky feeding activity at night during fall and the late season as the water temps drop that makes them difficult to catch at night or is our problem most likely an example of a needed tactic/ location change. I look forward to hearing your thoughts thanks!
Nick Pellerin first I am so excited that my videos and tips have helped you boat 6 awesome muskies! That is just fantastic !!! And interesting to hear your observation about the night bite later into the season. I would recommend trying to focus on fishing other times of the day if your night action has decreased significantly. The bite changes on all of our lakes throughout the season for many reasons and as hunters we must collection data, observe and let’s those things inform our hunting strategy. So, target them at different times. I personally do not do a huge amount of night fishing during the mid to late fall but I could be missing a bite! We always must be trying different things constantly to improve
@@MuskyMastery Thank you!! Great advice as always! I wasnt able to make it out long before sunset but me and my brother switched up tackle and targeted a different depth and scored our first two fish night both fish coming right on a prime feeding window. One at first dark and the other at moon overhead. Thanks dude 👊
Thats you rigjt Chaz? Ya i have a question for sure , i am in a major musky area and its been the worst season ever. Its around 25 , 26 degrees celsius, it hasnt really gotten cool yet but the water is cooler then it was. Here is the.problem , almost every single musky at my spot has been caught by bass and walleye anglers on tiny little crankbaits. Thats all they seem to be biti g , i tried and tried with the little cranks and nothing. The season is getting close to.over and i get follows everyday but no.bites. i am just not having fun anymore at all , i fish them from dams off shore
tice sine so getting right to the point here, If you’re fishing from shore then figure-8’ing is likely very challenging for you? That would make it hard to score on followers. If anglers catch all of these muskies in small lures then, you must use small lures. Is there a particular color that works best? What are these other anglers doing that you are not. You must find an answer to this question. Have you tried “bass fishing” for muskies without success like these other folks? Also, with fall and cold temps comes live bait fishing and it’s effectiveness. You can be VERY effective fishing with live bait from shore for muskies with quick strike rigs. I’d highly recommend this tactic to score this fall. End with a 🤛🤛
@@MuskyMastery thanks for the response Chas , i dont believe in using live bait, its inhuman, i dont see the difference between a musky and a sucker they are both living things. I have tried everything , those guys that were catching them had mono , no leader and tiny bass baits getting them at dusk. Most of the time they break off and leave a lure in the fishes face. There are four or five of us getting advice off line from all the pros and not one of can get on. The season is almost over now and only a couple catches , there are more muskies in that spot than any spot i have ever heard of , its a dam under contruction and not even that much water. Not one musky lure works so i feel i wasted a lot of time and money, muskies wont even.touch a bucktail or bulldawg down there. I think.it may be quitting time for me w seasons and i have never had fun .just not enjoyable at all standing there everyday catching.nothing.
tice sine I think you have to change the way you’re looking at the situation. Try to think of the valuable experiences you’ve gained in your hunting there. I would also kindly suggest this, despite there potentially being many muskies in this spot you’re fishing - - > change bodies of water! Go hunt muskies somewhere new this fall!!!
@@ticesine6589 Just speaking from experience dude. I have had some great runs on certain bodies of water when it seemed you couldn't make a bad cast! And then years on those same lakes where you can't buy a musky for a million$$$. So moving and being mobile is key to staying on a hot bite!
Buot to get out there today, here in Minnesota it’s definitely fall, the temps are gonna be low out there today but we’ll have a blast anyways. I will edit my comment when I get back to say how it went. Edit: We had a FANTASTIC day, no muskie, but 3 pike and a boat load of bass, five of the bass were fantastic size, and caught a new personal best bass at a little over 6lbs.
ATAwarriorSS that is awesome dude!! Thanks for the musky hunt update! And really glad to hear it was a fantastic day. Any day when you’re catching fish is a great day on the water
Hopefully this little Indian summer will keep the shallow weed bite red hot one more tournament then it can get cold and bring on sucker fishing. Nothing says Muskies like suicks and suckers
Jimmy G yes we have actually planned on sucker fishing more this fall. We have a few new things we will be implementing for filming so stay tuned! And thanks for the comment dude
Hey Professor Dude, happy to help you in your teaching efforts! Keep cranking out these teaching moments. Dude!!!
John Seegers thanks dude! I just cannot thank you enough for your kindness in creating the magnets for me. Many more vlogs on the way!
John, someone has asked if your magnets can be purchased online!

Always great information, thanks a lot dude !
Thanks so much John Capilupo !!!
Great vlog. Outstanding presentation.
Thanks so much Mitchell!!! Really glad you enjoyed it!

Gotta love it when the lake drawn is exactly like the one your cabin is on! 🤔🤔

Epic" Breakdown DUDE!!! Thanks from Early Turned' Over Idaho!!!
J Dean JD DUDE!! Thanks man! Part 2 will be on the way !
Hey Chas, can those musky magnets made by John Segers be purchased online?
I can ask John!
Great VLog, Chas! BTW I know that lake. That lower right reef is golden in the late summer with topwater.
drum2little thanks Ron! Really appreciate it. I love your creativity as I didn’t draw any particular lake for this vlog but if my drawing reminds you of a familiar spot, all the better!
Another awesome Musky lesson for us to watch. You’re great man, you’re the f**king man Chas, keep it up
brother
CTR Fishing thanks DUDE!!! If you have topics you’d like to see vlogs on let me know
Musky Mastery Maybe a “Fall Bass Movements REVEALED” ?????
CTR Fishing I can def do a fall bass video! I might even get out an film a vid too!
Musky Mastery Or what about a catch n cook video? Bluegill? Crappie? Walleye? Any of those haha
Another great vlog
David Scearse thanks so much dude! I’m really pumped you enjoyed it!!
This is spot on here on the wisconsin river that I fish, my good summer spots have been extremely slow but closer to the dams I have been doing well
James Koehler right on dude! Yes, current areas can really be overlooked on many systems. Muskies are river fish!
Must feel like work writing on a white/chalk board. Haha. Thanks for the knowledge!
@@Arms08 I enjoy it dude! I’m a teacher….whiteboard work just comes naturally haha
@@Arms08 absolutely brother we will for sure!
Im in TN and this just helped me very much. I think with the Generations on some lakes here in early fall our fish push back to the backwater weeds until Winter.
feelfree Kayaks Wild Side I am really glad to hear that this vlog was helpful! I will be working on part 2 of the series soon!
I am looking fwd to it!!!!

Thanks John! Much appreciated dude!
great job
Thank you! More on the way tomorrow. Also, if there is a topic you'd like covered in a whiteboard seminar please let me know.
This is awesome! Do you have one for spring?
Tom, I can make one if you'd like!
That would be awesome! Seeing things like the transitions broken down on the board like this is great. Big fan of the channel over all!

John Thom that is a great idea dude I’ll see what I can do! And thank you so much for the kind words! More fall musky hunting vlogs coming soon!

Now ya need a bigger white board & lets just assume those are all 50+ for the fun of it!
Chris Gustafson thanks dude! I will work on getting a bigger whiteboard! And yes... those were all 50’s 😊

Kyle Casetta I like that plan dude. Let’s keep this shallow weed bite going!
Thats a long skinny musky that lives on your electical box
if you live in mn or wi and need a muskie greenhorn to haze, let me know
Oliver Wood thanks Man!! I’ll def let you know haha
will we see some sucking fishing from you this year? Ive yet to see you using this method on your channel
Jimmy G yes we have actually planned on sucker fishing more this fall. We have a few new things we will be implementing for filming so stay tuned! And thanks for the comment dude
You need a much bigger white board
Roger Mandt I will work on it! Thanks and hope you enjoyed the material!
BOB ROSS
LOL!!! I honestly loved watching his videos. Especially at the end when you could see the finished work!
