- What is the most common mistake I see people make when they come fish shield lakes for the first time?
It's something we all do, it's hard to get away from because we have success while doing it.
But I promise you if you take my advice, and the advice of many of the top guides and musky anglers, you will have more success in Northwestern Ontario!!!

LOL. My boys and I unquestionably do this. It's almost like we get tunnel vision on what we can see as the "classics" for structure fishing. It's just hard to know when to fish the way you're saying if you aren't really familiar with the lake.
The east answer on shield lakes? Start out deep and work in. Everywhere. Even weed lines. It's easy to move in tighter, impossible to pull out after you have spooked fish. Try it and you'll put more fish in the bag. You'll be shocked at how deep I fish when we get out together!
Another beauty thanks for your time 54!!!!
Thx Phil! We have some bangers coming up in the next two weeks!
Small mouth bass sit on that transition line and so do walleye. Where there is good sized bait there is always a musky hanging around. Your advice is perfect sense as this is where I find all my big fish.
Absolutely right! Thanks for watching! Appreciate you!
Thanks for another informative lesson in tactical fishing! I'm hoping to use this technique on the some of the Meso lakes I fish in Wisconsin!
Thanks for watching Paul! Hope some of those strategies will help you on your home waters! Appreciate you!
Great breakdown and tips as always dude! This is totally applicable everywhere!
Thanks Matt! Appreciate you checking it out!
love yr maps explanations. great vid.
Thanks for that! Glad you enjoy it and find it valuable!
Guilty as charged, great advice and video Glen.
Thx Mitchell! Appreciate you always tuning in! I think we are guilty of this one!
Make sense, for most of the time , but the bigger ones will be deeper ! THX
Yep, that's the whole point. The bigger fish generally sit off of structure... Thanks for watching!
Great video, enjoy the break downs. and the insight on fishing to close to stucture.
Thx for watching! Glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful!
Great stuff, thanks!
Thx Dean! Next two weeks we cover the best gear of the year and best lures of the year!
We usually will have one person casting to structure and other person casting "The Canadian Side" same thought process though. I caught by PB on the Canadian side rather far away from the weed/rock/reef structure. Yes!!!
That's a pretty common thing we hear! It's easy to get caught always casting to something, it's hard to train yourself to cast to the open. Thx for watching, appreciate it!👊
I'm digging your boat man.
Lol, thx!
Great points to consider! Definitely helps take some of the mystery out of boat positioning
Appreciate you watching and glad you got some value outta this one! Hope everyone gets to take something away from it!
My biggest pike in Canada came from exactly that structure, caught a ton of pike but smaller ones shallow on a point, trilled the saddle to a nearby island, middle of saddle a 44 hit
That's a cool story! Love when things work out! Thx for watching!
great job with the edit and especially your illustrations. Recently, we also switched to suspended fish with good results.
Thx for finding us and I appreciate you watching! And love the comments!
I'm guilty of fishing to shallow too.
We all are to some degree
Agreed. This has been my biggest mistake on shield lakes
You are not alone, I'm guilty of it abba almost every boat I drive by is guilty of it. Thanks for watching!
I remember listening to you explain this in the boat in the clip from this summer, and this is an awesome breakdown and reminder - this is probably the biggest single thing I am guilty of. You are definitely setting yourself apart from other channels with this type of visual (thanks little tikes!!!).
Glenn - without having charts on a particular body of water, what are some of your tricks to find these break lines? Are you using Sonar Chart Live, or something similar? Curious what your homework assignments might be before launching the boat. I can't wait to try scoping things from 400' with my new drone, but I'd be interested to hear your take!
Friggin' awesome video and thanks for making me a smarter angler (or at least making me think I'm smarter!!🤪)
Good idea for another video!!!!
@@54orbust Sign me up! I'd be curious to hear opinions if there are any ethical implications of using a drone. I can't imagine it would be any different than utilizing any of the other electronic advantages, in terms of SI, DI, LiveScope, etc.
Let me know if I should quit my job and become the 54 or bust fulltime drone operator and music coordinator!!
@@bigjgordon I have a drone but we haven't included it in the mix yet
@@54orbust What are you saying - you don't need me to quit my job and be your full-time pilot?? That just hurts, Glenn. 😪
We work shallow structure from 1 cast away or so, and then always throw a few casts out to the deep side of the boat. But if we are sitting right on top those fish they wont see either cast!
That’s how we used to do it, now we try to stay out. If you spook them by being on top of them you can rarely get them engaged again.
@@54orbust Glen, if there can be fish in both spots, what's the best way to fish them both? Make 2 separate floats, one deeper first, then double back and work across it shallow?
@@kungfustereo yep if you suspect deeper break line fish are present, always always stay deep and work in after. I'll cover this in another video
American side: shallow-Candian side: away from the shallow!! 30-40' of water... monsters off the structure. Put the boat in 20' of water is a great rule.
Yep! The Canadian side of the boat!!! Thanks for watching!!! Appreciate that! 👊
