“Some Canadian and northern lakes where we fish can reach 76 degrees which is quite cool for summer. Lakes with low summer temperatures are the exception to this rule. But if you push his tail hard enough, he will be on your bait in no time. You might have your bait at 5 feet and he is hanging in the water for 15 feet. Remember that muskys will chase after any bait that grabs their attention when they are hungry.
It can be strange to fish in 50 feet of water with no weedbeds or other cover, but this is where you will find fish. They are more concerned with water temperature than they are at other times of the year. Muskies will follow the schools of fish that aren’t always related to structure or cover. Heiting states that midsummer is when baitfish such as whitefish, crappie and bluegills are suspended at different water depths. Summer muskies focus on feeding and the best fishermen seek to imitate the baitfish that summer muskies consider their dinner. 2. For more muskies, keep your eyes on the moon.
How do you make this happen? Follow Heiting’s six top tips for boating with midsummer muskies. However, if a 40-inch fish smacks your lure, it will be a memory that you will cherish for the rest of the season. These muskies are still muskies and won’t eat as much or as enthusiastically as bluegills. They’re also aggressively hitting the baits, which is a great thing. All fish, young and old, are enjoying the best food they have ever had, whether it’s a large female or a male. Heiting said that Midsummer is “really kind of the perfect thunderstorm.” The water temperatures are high, which means that fish metabolism is high. He also hosts annual University of Esox events in Wisconsin and Canada. Former editor of Musky Hunt magazine, Heiting now earns his living as a musky guide and seminar speaker. Steve Heiting should know that this is what he believes. Fall is the trophy hunt while early summer is for the numbers. This blasted rain needs to quit now.Midsummer is the best of both the musky fishing and numbers worlds. If I get one this month I'll be up to 27 months in a row of catching saugs. Sadly I haven't been able to fish for eyes this month and I only have a week to go to keep my saugeye streak alive. Even still I can have things going well on a particular phase and out of nowhere they just don't show up. Some phases have a better bite during the day while others have a better one at night. It's crazy that certain phases consistently produce good fish or numbers regardless of cloud cover and they aren't your big phases either.
JOE BUCHER MOON SECRETS BEST FISHING TIMES FULL
I know a lot of people would say that's bs, but honestly when it comes to my records, the full moon is really only hot during the summer months and a certain month in the fall tends to be hot too. This is actually my least favorite phase.
Because I'm short on time I will end with the full moon. The second full day after a full moon consistently produces larger eyes(20+ inches) however the day bite seems to be better than the night bite for this phase and it tends to happen a certain number of hours after sunrise. It is by far the best phase for targeting any large fish, but since we are talking saugeye I'll stick with that. The new moon is my favorite for hunting the big girls. Now, during certain seasons they bite better with a half moon and clear skies and other seasons they bite better with a half moon and cloudy skies. It consistently produces fish, sometimes lots of fish, month after month and in all seasons. I will only share a portion because what fun is it if everyone knows all of the secretsĬontrary to popular belief, from my records during the past 2 1/2 years, the half moon is actually about the best phase for eyes. While I have lot of interesting finds on a few species, I will stick with the saugeye here since I have the most experience and most consistent patterns. Lunar phases do matter, but every fish seems to have a preference and a number of other factors go along like weather and time of year. What I can say now is that if I still fished like that, the bulk of my prized catches would still be out there without a thought of their existence. Back when I was growing up and had a subscription to In-Fisherman, I pretty much only wanted to go fishing when the lunar calendars said the fishing would be good. Since the past 20 months have been almost exclusively at night (about 90% of the 300+ days fished) I have found a few interesting points in regard to the moon phases.
