  Buddy your a great teacher.  I really wish I had seen this a few months ago.  I am brand new to the Muskie fishing and like with everything I get excited about I went a bit overboard buying things.  I made it hard on myself to pick what to take and I should just grab one bait and throw that thing until I catch one.

  Forgot to mention the importance of a large landing net. Some people might think any old net will do when in fact a net is just as much of an investment as a rod or reel. Thanks Joe!

  Good comment on putting in the effort. One way to catch when no one else is catching is variety. Cast your lure or spinner in a fan pattern from the bank. Start at 3 o'clock and work your way to 9 o clock in 20 or 30 degree segments. If you don't get a bite don't move straight away. Switch your lure to a jerk bait, crank or spinner and do the same before moving down the bank. Repeat this as you move and you will catch when others, who don't vary their style and just cast the same lure to the same spot 50 times won't catch.

  I am heading out on my first Musky trip in two weeks and boy is this video ever helpful... Some common sense advice that is easy to forget. One thing I would like to hear about is the way to do a proper hook set when the musky hits your bait, both away and next to the boat.

  Joe you are great teacher! I have had success at spillways with whopper plopper. On heavy bass gear. I recently got a 45 incher and my son a 38 incher!

  Joe is the Mickey Mantle of Muskie fishing.  Besides being humble and approachable, just a great human. I have learned more about fishing from Joe than anyone else. His 3 part shows, bass, walleye, Muskie from back in the day are legendary teachings. Thank you Sir.
