Muskie Fishing

When you are casting for Muskie and a really big fish comes up behind the bait I never go into a figure eight. For big fish I lelieve that a big circle is much better. I have had times with clients doing figure eights and they hit the Muskie in the side and spook it away. Usually on the second time around in the circle as it is going up and out I speed up the lure for a few feet. That is usually enough to get the fish to strike. Hold on tight to the rod. Try this and see if it does work better for you. Good Fishing. Bob
