Fishing SLOP Weeds for MUSKIES! Musky Quick-Tips on Spinnerbait Fishing Heavy Cover | S7.E11

A cooler than normal early-summer period can have muskie anglers scratching their heads and searching in all directions for hot bite but the answer to finding a "tight line" might surprise you! When water temperatures are cold for muskies (60's) I have found that a larger percentage of adult muskies take up residence in thick, slop, weed cover. So now we have the location figured out but.....what lure to throw in these snag-ridden places? A great lure to begin traversing slop cover would be a safety pin spinnerbait like JBO's Slopmaster.
I lean heavily on these lures as a tool to get into super-thick cover and present a lure to a hungry musky that otherwise will not get casted at. There are of course some tricks to correctly fishing spinnerbaits in thick slop weed cover - and that is precisely what this quick tips video is all about. I hope you learn something here and that you enjoy this video. Thank you for watching!

Speak of the devil ! So true, my brother just caugh one under similar circumstances in the cabbage weeds. A spectacular smash by the canoe. My net job could have been smoother but we got her.
Great wisdom/solid content.

Steve thanks so much man!!! More on the way dude

[@gregkuhn7123]

Good vid! Slopmaster is the best for thick cover - hands down!

[@jameschurch1277]

Great tips Chaz. Slop Master has been a great bait in smaller shallow rivers as well, as they become weed choked, as the season progresses. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks JD! Tight lines and please report back!

[@therealkosmora229]

Got some nice pike hits on the Christmas tree tinsel slop master this year. Had a possibly pb rail it in front of me and when i set the hook, the lure flew out of its mouth sadly

[@MuskyMastery]

I am sorry to hear that but at least you put yourself in position! You loose a little hookability with single hook lures...

[@therealkosmora229]

@@MuskyMastery that trailer hook might have been the game changer there! My luck with bigger pike has been really bad though for years. Mostly a bass guy who sometimes throws out them ole bucher 500/700 inlines, slop spinners and top raiders when I'm on a musky lake or just going for a big gator:)
