MuskieTechniqueShallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6')SeasonFallStructureSubmerged VegetationUp at 5AM to find out there was a Musky tournament, a bass tournament and a crappie tournament all on this lake the day I decided to go try it for Musky.

A nice 40" Musky was the reward of the day. Also caught a

Water temps are mid 50"s and there is a good shallow grass bite on a frog, toad or punching a creature bait through the mats. This will continue until water temps reach the high 40"s . Find the bait...find the bass!

Bass are holding on the outside grass line in the 12 foot zone. Fish a shakey head through sparse grass to get bites. Points and main lake banks with a rock and grass mixture are best. A walking top water bait will work in the morning.

I fished Kinkaid for a few hours on New Years Day 2021. Air temps were high 30's. Wind was 10-15 out of the SW. It was overcast with light rain and drizzle. Water temps were 42 with 5 foot visibility in the main lake island area. Fishing was slow. In about 3 hours I caught a 48"-50" muskie on a Jackall Rerange jerkbait and a 17" largemouth on a French Pearl jerkbait. I targeted points.
