MuskieTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Large)SeasonSummerStructureReefLast week of June, out bass fishing but ended up with 3 muskies over 36" boated in under an hour, multiple follows, and a few bites that didn't get hooks to stick. The muskie are eating largemouth bass from 6-12" in length. My younger brother who does some muskie fishing came with and got several follows and hit run bites as well fishing a homemade large silver spoon and Magdraft.
