MUSKIES AND THE FIGURE EIGHT
This technique will trigger strikes from following fish right at the side of the boat with only a few inches of line out. It is very exciting to see a fish appear from the depths and attack a lure at boatside. Our fishing logs indicate that over thirty percent of all muskies are taken on the figure eight. The figure eight is nothing more than ‘drawing’ a sideways eight in the water with your rodtip. The erratic action of the lure will give the appearance of a frantic baitfish trying not to be eaten. A muskie has followed the lure because it is curios and in a neutral mood, now that the lure has done something different it appears more realistic and triggers the final strike. The
proper figure eight begins as the lure comes in to the anglers
sight, look a foot below and a foot behind the lure for a
follower. As you go into the first turn of the figure eight it
must be smooth and quiet as not to spook the muskie. Don’t
stop the lure or the When muskie fishing it is required that you perform at least one figure eight at the end of every cast, insuring that there is not a fish following deep and out of your site. Thirty-percent odds are pretty good, don't give them to the musky. |
